The students of XVHS have long dreamed of a homecoming and this year their fondest dreams came true. November l. 1946. will go down in history as t'he inauguration of the first Annual Football Day of VVahpeton high school. The celebration was sponsored bv the Student Council. who worked very hard to collect all the ideas into a workable plan. The classes all did their share. The sen- iors had charge of the coronation and the program. No homecoming' would be complete without a queen, so the students held an election and voted for their choice for oueen and four attendants from eight candidates of the senior class. The honor of being the first queen to reign over our Animal Football Day belongs to Beverly Dailey. Her attendants were ,lone McLaughlin, Barbara Holthusen, Dolores Lahren, and Darleen Hendrickson. Early in the afternoon Queen Beverlv I was crowned by Mr. Zimmerman in an impressive candlelight ceremony, Then she and her attendants led the parade th'rough t'he uptown district to the football field. She was presented to the students and visitors again at the half. Our team did justice to the first Annual Football Day by defeating the Fergus Falls Otters , 25-6, in a thrilling game. The band put on an extra wonderful exhibi- tion during the half. In the evening the homecoming party was siren in the auditorium. Juniors decor- ated t'he gym and the sophomores had charge of the refreshments. We are very proud of our first Annual Football Day and hope that all the following classes will work hard to make it one of the best and biggest days of the high school year.

As sophomores we viewed the seniors XYith always an envious eye: That we were a credit to our school ln our junior year one couldn't deny. Aggressive and versatile seniors At last the goal is won, XVe gave in satisfaction Upon the work well done. Through the four years, one by one XVe climbed with never a stop Until the class of '47' Rested at the top.

WHO' WHO Although it has never been publicly announced, it is generally known. that I possess the remarkable power of projecting myself forward through the years into any given time in which I am interested. To-night, being restless and weary with the cares ot the day, I longed tor a change ot scene and time. So, closing my eyes and relaxing, I wished myself into the public library of this town, thirty years from now. Ifound myself in the reference room of a magnificent new building. As I glanced at the shelves. my eye was attracted by a thin red leather volume. Taking it down, I saw the title was VVho's XVho and XVhy in XVahpeton,'. Eagerly I turned the pages. VVhen I saw how interesting it was, I fled back into the Present bringing the book with me. As I must' hurry into the 5'Fu.ture again, in an hour. before the book is missed. 1 shall read it aloud to you. I am certain you will be interested. XYho's 'XVho and XVhy in XYahpeton , dedicated to the class of 1947, is the class which furnished most of the contents. The preface read thus: The only entrants who deserve a place on this roll of honor are the members of the class of 1947, a distinguished and int'ellectual group. In order to fill up the pages, however, other names were inserted, but need not be taken too seriously. Do you wonder that 1 rushed back to you with the book after reading its charming preface? In giving the list I will omit the dates of birth and of relatives to save time. RAMONA HOBZA is the owner and manager of a large chain of restaurants. They are called the Eat and Run Restaurants .

Pee XVee Gilles was chosen presidentg jim Leinen, vice presidentg Dopey Lahren, secretaryg and Virginia Vogeler, treasurer. Tom Kuchiera and Gayle Michalek were elected to the Student Council. Perhaps most of you remember the first assembly we ever took part in. Most freshmen go through the same thing we did, although no freshman appreciates being initiated. Most of us know that Tom Kuchera has 'a fine school spirit. His spirit was prob- ably at its peak when he became a member of the football squad in '43. He knew quite a bit about football because he demonstrated how to block and tackle during the initiation assembly. The eighth grade was invited to the party we gave in january of '44. XVas this be- cause of custom or because we wanted company?! blames Leinen was chosen best actor in the 1944 VVho's YVho contest. There are few if any freshmen who have received the honor of being in XVho's VVho. Jim was on the football and basketball team and a class officer as well as an actor. NVho were the boys that modeled dresses for the students in the freshmen class assembly? They say Cliff Hermes was a real musician in those days. Bill XVorner became class president in the fall of ,44. Cilff Hermes was elected vice president: Arlys Nissen, secretary: and Beverly Dailey, treasurer. Margaret Drey- er, XVilliam Gilles and Thomas Kuchera were chosen to represent the class in the Stu- dent Council. As sophomores we took a more serious view of school life. Fifty cents was set as the minimum for class dues. I never could remember what the money was used for. XVhy didn't the Cactus Kates band together again? I didn't hear the Novelty Twins sponsored by Hector's VVhiz NVhisker Grower. Maybe it's best that way. Some of the other notables at the sophomore class assembly in 1945 were Frank Sinatra, Little Red Riding Hat and Don Roseth. VX'illiam Toodles Worner was again elected president in our junior year. James Leinen became vice-president, Margaret Dreyer, secretaryg Beverly Da.iley, treasurer. Barbara Holthusen, Thomas Kuchera and Alfred Keating became our Student Council representatives. Maybe some of you remember the scene at the bridge before the Breck-VYop foot- ball game in which many class members played such a prominent part. ,lim Leinen took over his duties as football and basketball captain in '45. He was mentioned on several all state teams and was chosen fullback of the all Minn-Kota team. Remember when the junior class play was put on? Mrs. Lauder almost went hoarse trying to get the actors in place and Puss .fxchter on the lights. Strings of paper hanging from the ceiling and from the boys' back pockets could be found near prom time. The gym was covered with purple, blue and white. Touches of silver were added to make the setting look rich. The theme of the prom was An Evening in Paris . A banquet was given at St. -Tohn's school before the prom to prepare all concerned for a long and glad evening. After this farewell to the seniors of '46 we took our final exams and most of us pulled through to become seniors in the fall of '-16.
