1924 Three years after the end of World War I, Warrenton's first annual was published. Compared to some of the forth— coming, it was a work of art . i he yearbook was FULL OF LITERARY SELECTIONS, INCLUDING POEMS, JOKES, AND ESSAYS. UNLIKE MOST OF THE FOLLOWING YEARBOOKS IT WAS BOUND. 1938 IN 1938, OUR SECOND ANNUAL WAS HOT OFF THE PRESS.” DEDICATED TO THE WARRENTON School Board, this deep purple book was in the form of a looseleaf notebook. 1939 1939'S ANNUAL HAD DIVISION PAGES WITH GRECIAN DESIGNS, WHILE THE COVER WAS BLACK. It INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE CLASSES, CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS A BRIEF STATE¬ MENT ON THE FIRST HOMEMAKING CLASS. 1946 Jumping over to 1946, an enormous change can be seen. Although it was still in LOOSE-LEAF FORM, PICTURES BY THE HUNDREDS WERE IN IT. INSTEAD OF CLASS PICTURES, HOWEVER, IT HAD FUNNY CUT-OUTS OF THE MEMBERS. 1948 CO-EDITORS OF 1948'S YEARBOOK, D OLORUS SlMONSEN AND NORMAN JACOBSON CHOSE TO HAVE THEIR PAGES BORDERED IN A PARCHMENT COLOR. THE BLUE COVER HAD '’WARRIOR11 ENGRAVED IN SILVER AND A PICTURE OF AN EAGLE. 1949 Roman scenes were used on the 1949 division pages, while gray covered the outside. 1950 Radical changes came in the 50's not only in world affairs, but also in Warren¬ ton's annuals. Glossy pages and colorful division pages graced the yearbooks. The covers ranged from green to red to blue and to white. A piece of spiral PLASTIC HELD THE PAGES TOGETHER IN THE EARLY YEARS. LATER YEARS, HOWEVER, TURNED OUT PADDED, BOUND COVERS. 1960 Larger staffs and an excellent advisor led to better-than-ever annuals in 1960 AND '61. 1960's COVER WAS DONE IN MONOCHROMATIC PURPLE AND HAD A PHOTO OF THE Peter Iredale on it. Don Colby, editor chose to have pictures of the adverti- ZERES IN IT AND GLOSSY PAGES. 1961 Last Year's book was the first modernistic covered one. Done in blue black, AND WHITE, IT WAS STRIKING. ITS DIVISION PAGES HAD POETRY SELECTIONS. SO AS YOU CAN NOW SEE, WARRENTON'S ANNUALS HAVE GROWN BETTER EACH YEAR
