Senior History On one bright September day back in “35” approximately one hundred eighty little seventh graders, filled with fright and curiosity, gazed with awe at the sight of this “School of Higher Lamin’ Hut alas, the first year slipped quietly into the second. Now being in the eighth grade made it possible for us to choose the girl and boy who would receive the Citizenship medals. The class elected two people who were worthy of the honor. They were Audrey Dill and Chester Perkins. In “38“ we filled the role of being “green freshmen”. The girls became Sunshine Girls with Virginia Tielking as president. Other officers were Darlene Baker, Margie Burton, and Annabel Eakins. In the sophomore year the girls took one more step in club work and became the younger members of the Warren- ette club. In our junior year Marion Thompson won honors by winning the school oratorical contest and the county orator- ical contest. Janet Talkington was vice-president of the Warrenette Club. In the Music Department seniors who have won in contests are: Lyman Combs, Tom Matzke, Richard Sanders, Bill Stroud. John Dora and Robert Green. Other members are Bob Vernon, Don Crooke, Leland VanTuyle, Normajo Cooperider, Bonnie Lou Hodgins, Barbara Weidner, and Richard Hickson. Those seniors in the Senior Chorus are: Dorothy Blackwell, Stanley Bradford, Margie Burton, Lyman Combs, Don Crooke, Annabel Eakins, Frances Eickhoff, Joe Hanson, Anita Herron, Dolly Haskitt, Chester Perkins, Irwin Prickett, Marley Settles, Bob Shepherd, Betty Swarm, Joe Vanderfleet, and Opal Witte. In sports, Tom Matzke was elected captain of the basketball team. Lyman Combs also played on the team. Herbert Wachstetter and Chet Perkins were elected co-captains of the cross-country team. Seniors who were on the football team are Jack Burke, Dale Williamson, George Amos, Lyman Combs, John Robinson, Bob Ashton, who was placed on the all-county city team; and Tom Matzke. 4-H workers are Normajo Cooperider, Rita Hillman, Eleanor Mithoefer, Barbara Weidner, Anna Rosemeyer, Mildred Toombs, Betty Summa, Mildred Betz, Marjorie DeGoyler, Kenneth Lichtenberg, and Herbert Wachstetter. Chet Perkins and John Robinson helped to make this year a successful one for the debate team. Those elected to the National Honor Society were: Annabel Eakins, president; Marion Thompson, vice-president; Janet Talkington, secretary; and John Dora, treasurer; Constance Huntington, Betty Butler, Audrey Dill, John Robin- son, Chester Perkins, Paul V 03 , and Donald Reich. The Senior Council members are Marion Thompson, Janet Talkington, Tom Matzke, Charles Gottemueller and Constance Huntington. Above all, this senior history would not be complete without a word about the successful senior production “Any- thing Can Happen”. The show included a musical comedy, dancers, plus jitterbugs, music by a student dance band, comedians, blues singers, and a singing chorus. There was also a patriotic act. Jean Walter was student chairman. Officers of the Hi-Y club were Marion Thompson, president; John Dora, vice-president; John Robinson, recording secretary; George Amos, corresponding secretary; and Tom Elliott, sergeant-at-arms. Officers of the Warrenette club were: Janet Talkington, president; Constance Huntington, secretary; Betty Haines, treasurer; and Mary Ellen Katzenberger, sergeant-at-arms. Senior services will be on Sunday, May 25, and Class Day will be on May 26. On this day the seniors will have a picnic. Last but not least. Graduation exercises will be on Wednesday night May 28, 1941. Now as the hour draws near, we bid farewell to Warren Central, to the faculty, and to the remaining student body. With regret we shall part never again to meet as Seniors, but as the Class of 1941. Constance Huntington Three
