Y Senior Cabinet Our road thru' life is rough at times With hills, that dip and rise. But this all helps our character- lt needs the exercise. Row l Row Z Jean Danals Mrs. Hildebrand Martha Sondles Frank Waldo Nancy Simester Don Gable SENICR CLASS HISTORY In l94O a nervous bunch of boys and girls approached the stage and re- ceived their diplomas. Remember those knickers and the big debate over whether the girls would wear anklets or silk hose? Our Freshman and Sophomore years were spent with the usual activities, such as hayrides and parties. When we were Sophomores two members of our class, Joyce Bird and Tony Milici, designed our school flag. We are proud of them, of the W.H.S. banner, and of all that our fiag represents. On Decem- ber 7, l94l, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. That memorable date marked the turning point of our lives. Over the new public address system on December 8, we heard President Roosevelt declare that a state of war ex- isted between the United States and Japan. We came back with great expectations for our Junior year. The first great event was the Barberton Football game. Of course Wadsworth won it-7 to 6. This was the first time anv Wadsworth team had beaten Barberton for l7 years, Everyone was overjoyed, extremely happy. and verv proud. Also in our Junior year we had a very successful party with the class of '43. ln the meantime, the war was coming far closer to us than we had anticipated. Boys, whom we had known all our lives, left to serve Uncle Sam. Of course about springtime our minds were occupied with the Prom. We spent many hours planning and decorating to make it a big success. Fairyland was our theme. Following all of this, came our last and most important year. Our class was the 1'irst in W. H. S. to elect a girl as president for the Senior year. Our first project was the Victorv Bond Booth. When the Fourth War Loan came along, we really went over the top in the sale of bonds and stamps, Our victory dance turned out to be one of the most successful dances of the year. Now we have finished these four years-a little older, a little more in- telligent, and most proud. We have satisfied our dreams and have reached our goal, As we approach what lies beyond, our task shall ever be to strive, to seek, to find: and not to yield. Here's to the class of l944: it's going places? The 1944 Whisperer BRENNEMAN,S PHARMACY
