WHS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Alvin Hanson President PHYLLIS PUCHTA Vice President JOE MlHEVE Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Wood Adviser You may not know me, but I am Old Man Hill speaking. Yes. the same old Hill that all high school classes climb . . . and what I don't know about those classes! The 1930 lot has been a good bunch. Oh. a little mischief now and then, and some fell back down the hill, but they have stuck better than most to their jobs. Pretty timid they were, back in 1926. but they organized immediately and made a success of the annual frosh party. Miss Gertrude Olson helped them. As sophomores they were very active, showing their schoolmates that they really were wide awake. First they gave the frosh a party to help them get acquainted. Then they won the ticket selling contest at the football games. Winning contests is their weakness now—good students and loyal. Another year and they took on the responsibilities of juniors. Miss Olson and Miss Tanner directed the lively group. They were well represented in basketball and other school activities. The year ended with the Junior Prom for which they made elaborate preparations and were rewarded with remarkable success. In the last year they secured Mr. Wood to guide and direct them. They celebrated class day at Copper Falls. Their cooperation and pep were shown during the football season. They enjoyed the ice cream they received as the prize for winning the ticket-selling contest. The last achievement of the year was the producing of a senior play. During their four years in W. H. S. they have tried their best to fulfill all duties honorably and live up to the ideals of the school. I'm a wise old Hill and I know a good class when I see one and this class is IT! ! CLASS PROPHECY William N.! William!” “Huh------” Say the next time you dust my desk leave the gum where it is parked.” All right. Mr. Peters.” Call my private secretary. Oh, here she comes.” Mary handed Bob a card. He looked at it and exclaimed. For heaven’s sake, Mary, let Julia in!” “Julia?” “This is surely a surprise. Julia, how----” Oh. Bob, since you've won that million dollar lawsuit. I’ve come to ask you to help me secure a divorce from Pat.” “Julia. Pat’s wonderful—” “Wonderful!—I thought the same once. He won’t do a thing but read the papers, and he goes to all the football and basketball games with Coach Mike and leaves me at home. That's not all: when we go to the Inn for dinner he curses the waiters. Syma O. and Walfred. Saima H. will tell you more because she owns the Inn. Say. Julia, have you seen or heard of any of the old classmates?” Yes. I’ve seen a few. Sarah, who’s a model for William L. seems----” William Lepisto!
