Busy Students Shift Into High Gear Icmuary Tryouts for The American XVay were held during the first few weeks of January. lt prom- ised to be a wonderful play of tremendous proportions-just the thing for Metzner's crew to tackle. Four exchange students from Europe visited W.H.S. under the guidance of the American Field Service. They seemed fav- orably impressed with our up and coming school system. The price of milk suddenly dropped under the Federal Surplus plan. Cafeteria sales soon doubled in white milk alone, and economy wise students profited. Students began to burn the midnight oil when the time for semester exams arrived-at least some did. Others made up their minds to do better next semester. February Following the example of some Suburban high schools, the student council brought about a pronounced change in attire by proclaiming February 8 as the first dress-up day of the WHERE'S HE GOING now? asks the Grecndale man.

The night of February 24 saw a basketball spectacular that will always be remembered. Our faculty dribblers beat the South Mil- waukee faculty by 3 points in an overtime game. Basketball Coach Bob Duckett fouled out five times in the first quarter! The pro- ceeds from this terrific game were used to send three seniors on the annual trip to Washing- ton, D. C., during spring vacation. March March came in like a polar bear. On March 5 the F.H.A. held a dance, the queen for which was chosen by means of the cutest baby pic- ture! Betty Ann Smale won. John Roso, junior class president and subsequent prom king, chose Donna Evans as his queen as the prom committees began to make plans for this glor- ious occasion. The second day of spring arrived with a strictly unseasonal snow storm. To the horror of the student body school was closed at noon that day.
