Four years ago there passed through the IRON gates of Wadsworth High 125 freshmen who were without a doubt destined to be the most aggressive, the most intelligent, and the most handsome group of Morons who ever daunted the port-holes of dear Old Si Wash! Little did they know then, that after struggling relentlessly for four long hard years they, and they alone would be the Senior Class of 1943. fThey did have a sneaking suspicion of the fact though.D And now as they look back over the years they wonder: Was it worth it? Did we study till 12:00 every night for nothing? Did we avoid parties, dances, and hay rides to stay home and study merely for good grades? No!-we did all this as though it were fun- that was our cause .... No play, all work-LIKE FUNNY! Now that you have been told a little about this courageous group of gold diggers, we will try to give you a few uncensored facts about some of their unwilling actions: . . . In the summer of '42 Bill Bowers turned grave digger to accumulate money for wolf- ing purposes. The 1943 Whisperer B AND B CUT RATE STORE

Warren Clements slaved last summer on the state chain gang so he could earn enough money to operate his little gem slot machine. . . . Wilbur Cook went officially into photography recently. Who knows, some day he might even become another Seabiscuit. . . . Jerry Hileman left the country January 17, 1940, to become a city slicker. . . Today, Lloyd Cwraff volunteered to try out the schoo1's latest addition-Padded Cells. . . . Donald Ebert was arrested today by the United States Army Air Corps for not radio- ing his position. Donald claims his motorcycle didn't come equipped with a radio. . . . Benny Hartman and Dick Pirman were the first ones into the Barberton-Wadsworth football game: of course they got there just after Christmas 19391 . . . Lee Kahn studied his whole freshman year to be Mortimer Snerd's understudy. . . . Bea Mann was almost expelled from school the second week of her junior year for chew- ing tobacco in study hall. . . In '42 Nancy Kent, contrary to Miss 1-lileman's actions, turned farmer. . . Glee Krichbaum was awarded the pool sharps medal at Bake's, Friday, Nov. 13, 1939. . . .
