Wathena High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Wathena, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1963 volume:

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The foot-path to learning and growing mentally, physically, and morally can be found in our schools. I am sure you are glad to be a part of your school. It gives you the chance to live and to work and to play. It gives to you the opportunity to gain possessions, yet you cannot be contented with yourself until you have made the best of them. May you be governed by your admirations. Always covet the kind- ness of heart and gentleness of manner. Think often of your friends. Strive onward and upward to develop yourself mentally, physically, and morally. I feel sure you will do this. Sinceffly, Lee Corder 1963 Wathena High School Wathena, Kansas ADMINISTRATION Aloysius Ritter—Clerk Richard Schulti—Director Our Board of Education does a very efficient and commendable job in running a school of this type. Wathena is rated a standard school by the State Department of Education of Kansas and is a member of the North Central Association, a feat which took time and effort on the part of the Board.

This year we held a dance at the high school and also went to see the movie “The Absent-Minded Professor.” We started to raise funds by working in the concession stands at the football and basketball games. The end of our journey was in sight as we began our third lap in the fall of 1961. The new conductors were Mrs. Akins and Mrs. Shifflett.

Our play was “Line of Scrimmage.” Highlights of this lap were the Christmas Dance given by us on December 15, and the Junior-Senior banquet at which we were the guests. The train was slowly approaching its destination as we held our Baccalaureate Services on May 12, and Class Night on May 14. It stopped for the last time on May 16, when we held our commencement exercises. The crew, both happy and sad, stepped off the train to follow separate tracks along the way of time.
