The Chicago Tribune and New York Times have discontinued their papers because the former editor of the Waveland ’’Station 7 HS has bought the Independent, and we all knowing Virginia Simms’ ability as an editor are not surprised that she has a corner in the news of the World. Knowing Virginia’s loyalty to the Class of ’39, we’ll surely find something concerning them in her paper. Here’s an item that looks interesting. Miss Dorothy Bain of Russellville, was a bus- iness visitor in Waveland, last week. She is now driving a new 1945 Dusenburg, purchased from the local Dusenburg salesman, Pearl Brooks. Mr. and Mrs. Dale McClure were in Crawfords ville Saturday. Mr. McClure is the regular auc- tioneer at the hog sales on Saturday. Mrs. Mc- Clure is the former Miss Shirley Garrett. Harold Campbell was home from Cambridge, Mass, where he is Professor of Public Speaking at Harvard University. He is always glad to get back to the old Home Town and make his weekly visit to the Brownsvalley Barber Shop and Post Office. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Arvin announce the wedding of their daughter, Virginia to a former graduate of WHS, Mark Oliver. They will live at Yountsville, where Mr. Oliver will be the proprietor of a hatchery. Miss Amy Knight has scheduled a new program over WIND, Gary. She will be heard at 10:45 each Wednesday, singing Western songs. Prof. Raymond Greve, Jr. was in the city of Y aveland yesterday buying guinea pigs for his physics laboratory at the University of Brownsvalley. He is on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of over study. Miss Ruby Bryant’s latest picture Gone With The Wind , has come to the local theatre, Lyric, owned and operated by Miss Mildred Porter, a former MGM producer. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Graham have returned from their honeymoon. They motored through the mountains of Maine. Mrs. Graham, formerly Miss Betty Jack did the driving as she is an accomplished motorist. Tyrone Power and wife, formerly Miss Betty Taylor, have sold their beautiful home in Hollywood and have reopened the Byron Emporium where they will be glad to welcome old friends. Mrs. Raymond Greve, Jr. has returned to the home of her parents, having established a residence in Reno long enough to secure her divorce. Her maiden name of Maxine Wilson was restored to her. Mr and Mrs. Edgar Money have moved into their new bungalow near the Shades CCC Camp. The house was designed by Mrs. Money, who was Alice Search. She was always talented in art. Her Physics note book was a work of art in the good old High School days. Benny Goodman’s Orchestra played for the Junior-Senior reception April 6. Jean Grimes, of the ,VHS class of ’39, was tenor vocalist. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mitchell and family have re- turned for a visit from their home town, Murphy, North Carolina where Mr. Mitchell is now town marshall. Mrs. Mitchell was the former Miss Mary E. Hickman of Waveland. Marshall Fuller was in town Tuesday on a bus- iness trip. He sold his wheat at the local ele- vator. The wheat was of good quality and yielded 2 Du. to the acre, on his farm near Byron. I think I shall renew my subscription now. Senior Class History- On September 5, 1927 a group of small boys and girls found themselves seated in the room of Miss Clara Mae Oldshue, the primary teacher in the Wave- land School, When the roll was called among those present were: Marshall Fuller, Virginia Simms, Junior Mitchell, Junior Greve and Ruby Bryant. These five have continued as members of the class of ’39 throughout their school careers, with the exception of Ruby Bryant, who withdrew at the end of the second year and later reentered. After learning the rudiments of readin , writin and rithmetic, they were passed to the 2nd grade where Mrs. Jennie Burford skillfully instructed them She was also their teacher during their 4th year. Miss Grace Wilkinson piloted them through the third grade and the name of Pearl Brooks was added to the roll. Cn reaching the 5th year they came under the supervision of Miss Cordelia Rule, now Mrs. B. M. Harbeson, under whose strict rule and excellent instruction they remained for two years. Virginia Arvin became a member of the class during its 5th year, having entered from New Market. These, together with ten others, having sat- isfactorily met all requirements specified by Miss Rule and the State of Indiana were promoted to the junior High School, which they entered on Sept. 7, 1933, under the supervision of Mr. Cunningham, who had succeeded Mr. White as principal. No other member of the present graduating class was added during the 7th year. Teachers were: l£r. Doyle, Miss Nobblitt, Mr. White, Mi3S Kritz, Mr. Douglas, end Mr. Walker, who was selected as sponsor. Ii the eighth grade two new members were added to the roll. Edgar Money, from Florida and Dale McClure from New Market. Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Niesly, Mrs. Austin Nobblitt, who w.s sponsor, Miss Kritz, Mr. Walker and Mr. Douglas were the teachers. On to the freshman class they went with merry hearts. Jean Grimes and Maxine Wilson entered from Brownsvalley and Mildred Porter, Betty Taylor, Ruby Bryant and Cozetta Ward entered from Byron. Teachers of the class were Mr. Hallett, principal, Mr. Oren, Miss Kritz, Mr. White, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Walker, Miss Pope, who was sponsor and Mrs. Rush. During the Sophomore year, Alice Search from Greencastle and Amy Knight from Martinsville be- came members of the class. The only change in the faculty was in the home economics department where Miss Boling succeeded Mrs. Rush. Miss Pope con- tinued as sponsor. Betty Jack from Greene Township, Shirley Gar- rett from Russellville, and Mary E. Hickman from Murphy, North Carolina enrolled at the beginning of the 11th year. Mr. LaFcllette and Mr. Patton be- came members of the faculty, having succeeded Mr. Oren and Mr. White. Miss Pope, who continued as sponsor, coached the class play, The Jinx , which was e decided success. Miss Pope with the co- sponsor Miss Boling, helped to plan and success- fully carry out the Junior-Senior reception on April 16, 1938. The reception consisted of a din- ner served in the gymnasium, and a show 8t the Strand Theatre in Crawfordsville. With the same group os in the previous year they marched into the final round on Sept. 3, 1936. Harold Campbell became a member of the class cn January 2. This increased the total enrollment to but the withdrawal of Cozetta Ward a few weeks later reduced the class again to 19. There was no change in the teaching staff. One ) was b trip of interes LaFolle to f the most enjoyable events of the year to tno State Legislature and points r in Indianapolis, with Mr. and Mrs. as chaperons.
