Organizations HIGH LIGHTS As an English project the WA-VERLY HIGH LIGHTS was undertaken this year by the Freshman. Sophomore , Junior and Senior Classes, under the advisement of the English teachers. The paper was issued monthly allowing each class two months issuq. Those sponsoring the High Lights were: Miss Buell, Miss Hutt, Miss Schauseil and Miss Vallery. This arrangement proved very successful, both as a business enterprise as well as an educa.ional project. By changing the organization in this way every issue held a distinct variety which it would not have had otherwise. Much credit is due Mr. McCon-naughey and his typing class for their s p 1 e n did work in thq typing and printing- Without their patience and willingness w.th the paper, our efforts would have been useless. The, Waverly High Lights has seen another prosperous year. May it live to grow older and better. —VIRGINIA JONES- LIBRARY During the school term the library has been improved greatly.

We realize that we h-vo almost reached the goal for which we have been striving for 12 l g vears. Although we have attained this de=ire, wr regretfully leave dear Waverly high school, and shall always cherish fond memories of our youth in this institution. Yesterday, while I sat in my room listening to the patrer of a slow, steady rain, my thoughts turned .o my classmates- The rain soon lulled me into a deep sleep, durl'.g which I journyed here and there, hearing about and meeting the members of the Class of 1934. Marjorie Landrum, who was now in the real es.ate business, making a fortune from selling lots on the new lake front, picked me up in her Cad llac and took me as far as Chillicothe. As we stepped from he car we met our honorable president Ed Wipert, now supervisor of the Kindergarten school .here. (He had achieved a good start in his senior year at Waverly High.) That evening, I took a bus to Cincir na i to see the Follies of 1940. I was del ghted to find that Robert Pollard was the manager of the Albee Theatre- I also discovered hat Quinnie Curry, Pauline Gleason and Alice Lightle were on the program. Pauline and Alice appeared in one of the choruses and Quinrie in a special vaudeville performance. Stopp'rg over at the Netherlands Pla.za, I found Charles Leffler at he desk- He said he frequently saw Eva Robinson, who was governess for the Mayor’s little girl. My next stop was at Chicago. I walked to Helen Doll’s Beauty Salon which was bady in need of repairs- With the aid of Dessie Hatfield hqr petite Michigan Avenue shop was bringing in good dividends. I tcok a stream line to Los Angeles. At Omaha two pompous looking men boarded the car- To nr' amazement, I recogir.zed Malcolm Brown and Forrest Eas.er- 23
