Sencon tetany In September of 1950, Forty-nine Greenhorns crashed the quiet halls of W.L.H.S. By the time school was out in the spring of '51, we knew, as everyone else did, that we were one class never to be forgotten. During this year, we elected the following offi- cers: President, Kenneth Howe; Vice President, Janice Burdine; Secretary, Suzie Baker; Treasurer, Helen Musgraves, and Class Reporter, Janet Lehn. Mrs. Nugent stood by us as our class sponsor. Jane Herr was our Homecoming candidate. As Sophomores, we were a little more daring in our GOOD DEEDS at school. We elected the following officers: President, Pat McClure; Vice President, Jim Taylor; Secretary, Jackie Schweitzer; Treasurer, Jane Herr, and Reporter, Nancy Beall. Our class co-sponsors were Mrs. Nugent and Miss Mackey. Nancy Warnick was elected Homecoming Candidate. Nancy Scheibly and Harold Holmes were our candidates for Junior Carnival King and Queen. As Juniors, we were as proud as proud can be. Imagine, finally, we were upperclass- men. The studies were harder and our spare time was taken up by social events but it was a wonderful feeling- -just knowing that we were one step higher on the ladder of success. We worked hard on the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at the South-Side Country Club, on May 16, 1953. To be able to afford this, we really had to work to raise the money. Our Junior Carnival, with Jane Herr and Johnny Williams as candidatesfor King and Queen, was a big success. Then we sponsored a Sweetheart Dance, Donkey Bas- ketball game and last, but surely not least, our Junior Play, Feudin' Over Yonder”, di- rected by Miss Morgan. For our Homecoming Candidate, we elected Pat McClure. And now, at last, Seniors. Oh, the past years at W.L.H.S. have been wonderful, but this is THE year. We have been busy selecting our cards, announcements, senior pic- tures, and we had a senior trip to the Ozarks planned. As our officers this year, we elected: President, Jim Taylor; Vice President; Jack Keller; Secretary, Harold Holmes; Treasurer, Johnny Williams, and Reporter, Keith Totton. For our candidates for Junior Carnival King and Queen, we elected Nancy Scheibly and Jim Williams, and for our Homecoming Candidate, Mary Hildabrand. We selected as our Sweetheart Candidate, Nancy Hanes. Our Senior Play One Wild Night was directed by Miss Hostler. Now that we have completed our high school years, we are ready to venture on into life on our own. Many will go on to school, and others will take their place in the world in one of many chosen professions. It will make no difference which profession we choose, because we will be leaning on what we have learned during our past years in school. As the years go by, we will look back over the time we spent at W.L.H.S. with appreciation and fond memories. 19
