S. days of 1948-49 are drawing to a close, I think it would be pleasant to review them briefly. First of all, came enrollment-a grand total of 252 stu- dents to be instructed by a faculty of 14 The freshman class of 66 members ventured into the doors of Wamego High feeling unacquainted and new to the student body while the 69 members of the sophomore class felt as though they were eager to take another step toward graduation The Junior class received the credit of having the largest body of students-32 boys and 38 girls a total of 70 mem bers A smaller class in number was the senior class but they were noted for their ambitious and cooperative ways Let s review the regular school day routine in words rather than in person If you are a member of band a group of 65 members who deserve much credit for their efforts you enter W R H S about 8 15 a m to toot your horn or beat the drums until 9 00 Now let us walk into our first classroom algebra biology Tvpingl shorthand and surprise our teacher because we have our lesson prepared No that would be too great a shock' During second hour will there be an explosion in chemistry a tempting odor from the homemakxng room or Bill Sauer our custodian dropping the dust pan'7 No the atmosphere at our school is rather qui t undisturbing and pleasant Although third hour is Just before lunch and everyone is anxious for the bell to buzz school carries on at a regular pace At 1 10 p m the students will bc ready to return to the dear old classroom but we mustnt miss a discussion of couple Dick and Betty at the show last n ght That s the trend of tie noon hour conversation as the students are on their way horrc for a snack or eating their lunch in study hall This is 1 time yy han we the students take time out to discuss the coming football gam s basketball g inns new couples and in other words just pl iin o sip Bu? gots thc b ll tsl 10 and June ll ll the librai already has her study hall in order for fourth hour. Since we are looking forward to activity period-a time for organ- ization meetings, such as Hi-Y, F. F. A., Y-Teens, Science Club, Girls Glee Club, A Capella Choir, Student Council- fourth hour really flew by. Relaxation from the classroom during activity period, gives us sufficient vigor to enjoy our last hour of the good old school day After school most of the students go to the drugstore but the football and basketball boys may be found practicing on the Red Raider Memorial Stadium oi in the Wamego High Gymnasium Since there are many extra curricular activities at our Red Raider School the evenings are always made interest ing and entertaining Although athletics furnish much of our evening entertainment some of the other important sources are pep assemblies lyceums class picnics all school parties class plays Junior and senior the senior carnival the football banqu t the Christmas Vespers the Gold Diggers Dance the Junior Senior Prom and the Wa Kaw Ball Here is a note I would like to add Even though this picture isn t featured in your yearbook what was more pic turesque during the school year than our faculty pep rally Yea team fight ' was the motto of Miss June Hill Mrs Freda Pitney Coach Sam Butterfield and Principal Clar ence R Spong as they led the student body in pep yells in one of our assemblies The Wa Kaw Ball the first in historv to be held at Wamego High was brought to you by the Wa Kaw pro duction staff 'Vhy you tuck away the memories of this oc casion with your Wa Kaw 49 er Ruth Long the Wa Kaw sponsor the Wa Kaw staff and I the Wa Kaw editor sincerclv hope vou enJoy your 1949 Wa Kiw is much as wc have cnyoy ed the responsibil ity of issuing it to you WL also hope that within its pages you ll find in my chtiishcd mtmoiics some that you can rtlitt to your ianlthildrtn as vtell as a history of the years cunts ' v . 1 I Y . . . r ' q ' , l - .

The yearbook staff brought it to you at the first an- nual Wa-Kaw Ball held on a May evening in the high school gym- nasium.

Virillnl. BoblneamdBil1 The foundation of the Wamego High School system is built the year around through the hard work of Principal Clarence R. Spong and the Board of Education which consists of Alec Hutch- inson, treasurer, Norman Bressler, clerk, and Virgil Haas, diirector. Using great foresight and ingenuity they help to provide students with a wide variety of subjects plus a full schedule of extr-curri- cular activities. One of their many projects this year was contract- ing the planning and construction of a new agriculture and manual arts building.

Things looked fairly bright as the first few days stretched into weeks. The line looked as impregnable as the Maginot entrenchment and this, coup- led with a hard-running backfield, seemed to point to a possible league champion- ship. The team came through tied for third place in the league The Raiders teed off on Chapman of the strong Central Kansas League and won in everything but the score The hne played brilhant defensive ball and Chap man only once reached the Raider forty in that 0 0 grid clash Wamego then dis played their talent to a stubborn Council Grove eleven and come home with a 6 0 win the only loss C G suffered in the 48 season Frankfort was entertained in the first home brawl and went home smarting under the sting of a 27 0 pasting Dick Knostmans star playing was shown in this fracas as the giant back ripped two touchdown runs totaling 90 yards Wamego's all-victorious dreams were shattered when a determined bunch of Haskell Indians knocked the feet from un- der the Raiders to drop them 6-0. The win- ning ways were resumed the next week when a revenge seeking Raider crew hung a 7-0 set-back bn the Seaman Vik- ings, perennial sports enemy, Wamego dropped two league encoun- ters to the eventual first and second place winners, losing to Washburn Rural, 14-0, and to league champ Hayden, 20 0 The low spirited Red Raiders then Journeyed to winless Highland Park who it became evident was cocked and ready Under the leadership of their new coach ex Wamego mentor Claude Reynolds the Scots tipped the Raider canoe nipping them 7 6 After suffering this heart breaking defeat the Raiders roared back to early season form and amid snow ice and freez ing temperatures ground out a 6 0 win over Osage City thus ending the season with a four won four lost and one tied record FRONT ROW John McKinnon right end Francis Bellmder right tackle George Worden right guard Tom Tomlinson center Hank Graf left guard James Jenkins left tackle Harry Knostman left end BACK ROW Larry Gieber quarterback George Herman fullback Richard Knostman half back Bill McKinnon half back i Q-1 -I 'L I J'- ' .i..u.1..L ref..

In previous years the new members were se- lected by the old members, and the total membership was limited to 50. The mem- bership this year included 84 girls and two sponsors, Mrs. Dorothy Myers and Mrs. Leila Ruddick. The officers who were elected last fall are: president, Marilyn Shea, vice-presi- dent, Mary Ann Shea, secretary, Jo Ann Stewartg, treasurer, Mary Frances Hansen. Two letters of commendability for changing the rules so that any girl in school could belong to Pep Club, were received by the club. One letter was from Mr. L. W. Brooks, Assistant Superintend- ent of Public Instruction ,and the other letter was from E. A. Thomas, Commis- sioner. Mr. Brooks and Mr. Thomas stated that Wamego High's pep club had taken an important step towards democracy in school afairs. One duty of the Pep Club was decor- ating the goal posts for the home football games. Girls also helped at the gates, passed out programs and cooperated with the band in making special formations. Game days found W. R. H. S. halls and classrooms crowded with girls in red and white who helped cheer the teams to vic- tory. ,BELOW-TOP ROW: Bonnie Coleman, Mary Dornbusch, Darlene Massey, June Hoffsett, Ramona Kuhn, Georgette Talley, Virgena Holz, Mary O'Connell, Mary Ann Vogl, Lois Habluetzel.
