Senion Class History On a bright sunny morning, September 8, 1953, fifty-six big-eyed and bewildered freshmen poured through the doors of W.H.S. We were one of the lucky classes that did not undergo an initiation. Our freshman year proved to be an enjoyable one as we jumped right into the swing of school activities with money-making projects and two dances under the guidance of Mrs. Bauer and Mr. Lukosyk. Our class was represented at the Valentine Dance by Princess Louise Nygaard and Prince Marvin Olson. With these activities and more, behind us, we anxiously looked forward to our sophomore year. In 1954, we again had a busy year with two dances, and money-earning projects for the coming events. Our sophomore year was busy and full, with Mrs. Bump and Mr. Lukosyk as our advisors. As important upperclassmen, our junior year was highlighted with many happenings. First, was the arrival of our class rings which gave us an air of distinction. Our first dance of the year was the Homecoming at which we honored the seniors and alumni. Queen Barbara Long,and King Larry Hanlon reigned over the dance, Memories Are Made of This. Several of us turned actors as we put on a successful comedy, Red- headed Royalty from Arkansas, in January, directed by Miss Payne. All year, we worked hard and diligently in preparation for the big event, the Junior-Senior Prom. South Sea Island Magic served as the theme for our prom which was very beautiful and realistic under the guidance of our class advisor, Miss Davis. The theme was carried out at our banquet which was held at The Islander, A Hawaiian restaurant. This was it! As we again entered W.H.S. through the Senior Door, we realized that our senior year was our final one at W.H.S. There were so many things to do. Immediately, we set to work making money and arrangements for our big and last dance. After scanning our brains for original ideas, we put on the Senior Sno-Ball on December 14, with the theme of Midnight Sleigh Ride. For the first time, we chose a Sno-Ball King, who was Ward Plummer, toreign over the dance. We went from one big event to to another, our advisors, Mrs. Middleton and Mr. Adkins, helping us along. On March 29, we presented our senior play, The Good-Bad Man, a thrilling western mystery, which was a big success, under the excellent direction of Miss Payne. To complete our school year, we took a trip to Salem and went on a skip-day. Last, but by no means least, came our commencement, May 29. A wonderful and exciting part of our senior year and something we will not soon forget was Homecoming sponsored by the junior class. The Royal Court, consisting of Queen Pauline, Miller, King Gene Karna, Princesses Roberta Adams, Louise Nygaard, Sharon Wiley and Merilyn Stait and Princes Larry Pope, George Warren, Bob Killion, and Ron Jacobson, reigned over an array of Homecoming festivities. These included the Pep Rally, the parade with the Senior Float winning second place, the game, and the Homecoming Dance. Our four years at W.H.S. have been full and happy ones and we wish to extend to all other students an invitation to take advantage of all the opportunities that high school offers. 23
