This book is dedicated to you, the students of WRHS. Your voices filled the lonely halls and made them live. Your mind reached out to grasp the knowledge before you, and your youth made the many long hours bearable. Lonely and deserted you stood in the hall that first day of school. You wondered how you could ever adjust to.high school life or ever like it. Before very long you lost that fear. The WRHS school building became your home away from home. You brought here your problems and heartbreaks, your joys and laughter. Here many of these problems ceased to be as their importance became dimmer. Many times WRHS was able to offer to you extreme happiness or laughter. Happiness often came with the honor of king, queen, class officer, club president, or honor athlete. Do you remember the night the basketball team lost by only one point, and how you sweat and played every second of the game with them? Rem- ember all the times at pep rallies when you yelled as loud as you could because you wanted to help support the team? You did your part to sup- port the team? You did your part to support school spirit. Examination time always made you, along with all the others, shudder. However, if you had studied well your hard work was rewarded. As you waited your turn to graduate, you remembered all the honor students that WRHS had seen. You were proud that many of the students now in col- leges or famous positions were WRHS graduates. You wanted to take your place in this line. You, too wanted to be known. And you were known, and you will be long remembered, for you were a part of the very lifeblood that made WRHS. You helped mold her, form her, and make her what she is today It is therefore only proper that this book be dedicated to you, for you made WRHS live. 2

ADMINISTRATORS Standing before the student body, August thirty- first, Principal Saffell began the 1959-60 school term. In spite of his many duties, Mr. Saffell al- ways found time to give help to students when it was needed. The graduating class of 1960 was the first class that Mr. Saffell watched completely advance through high school. Backing Mr. Saffell during the school year was the Board of Education consisting of A. G. Eddy, director, Verland W. Fecht, clerk, and Robert Kersey, treasurer. These men enforced the policies of the school and handled the school's transactions. Elected to the offices for three years, these men serve voluntarily. Keeping the high school office running smooth- ly was credited to Miss Mable Mitchell, office secretary. She always had time to help students and to offer a friendly word. Principal Tom Saffell will be long remembered for his many fair decisions. Mr. Eddy, Mr. Fecht, and Mr. Kersey, members of the School Board, had a monthly meeting. 4 Miss Mitchell, office-secretary, rarely had a spare minute.
