JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of ‘38 with forty-eight members, first entered W. C. H. S. on September 4, 1934. At a meeting called by Miss Helen McBride, the following officers were elected: President. Ida Mae Franklin; vice president, Ben Disbrow; and secretary-treasurer, Bill Robbins. During the freshmen year the following girls were chosen as cheer leaders: Mary Tolson, Betty Hepworth, Ida Mae Franklin, Mary Culp, and Barbara Gilman. Betty Hanes won fourth place in the County Dramatic Contest. One party was held at Ida Mae Franklin’s home. In the fall of 1935. the freshmen of '34 came back to honor the sophomore section. Miss Helen McBride was again sponsor; Henry McGrath, Betty Hanes, and Barbara Gilman were class officers. A party was held at the home of Betty Hanes, and we attended the carnival at Decatur. Next the class of '38 rose to its present title of juniors, a year full of new and exciting events with Henry McGrath serving as president, Miktred Wentworth, vice-president; and Charles Keister, secretary-treasurer. The juniors were given a chance to display their dramatic talent in their successful class play “Who Did It? . Soon after school started, we ordered our class rings. We sponsored a Magician Program to raise funds for our Junior-Senior banquet; held on May 13. 1937. Every member of the class of '38 is looking forward to a successful year when the class will again enter the portals of W. C. H. S., this time as seniors. Until next year.................

Motto—Hori Non Cras (Do It Now) President—Henry McGrath Vice-President—Mildred Wentworth Secretary-Treasurer—Charles Keister SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of nineteen hundred thirty-five the large plane, “Good Luck”, started on its way with twrenty-three passengers, including the pilot, Miss Zelle. An election of officers was held soon after the plane took off. Robert Fawcett was chosen co-pilot; George Binkley, navigator; J. R. Brown, radio operator; and Ruby Boyer, stewardess. After the first six weeks of its flight the plane landed to take on another passenger, Nell Ruth Binkley. Many parties and programs were attended by the passengers. Several of the boys and girls were in the operetta, “Love Pirates of Hawaii” given by the combined glee clubs. The mid-year air craft exams were passed safely enough by all the passengers. The plane landed again and everybody enjoyed the Christmas vacation. During this time Robert Fawcett who couldn’t stand the altitude, was left behind. Dorothy Delaney was chosen co-pilot in his place. In May the passengers took another exam which qualified them as first-class passengers. It would take four years of hard flying to become a good pilot. The plane landed for the summer vacation and for many badly needed repairs. Cardinal
