SENIOR CLASS PLAY LEASE ON LIBERTY Tuesday, May 19, 8:15 Lease on Liberty is a play to stir the heart of every American. It is rich in drama, yet replete with comedy as Grammy staunchly upholds the principles of freedom against those of indifference, complacency, and even active opposition. Finally a complete family disruption is avoided as the spirit of patriotism is aroused and upheld by each and every member of the household.

HISTORY Of CLASS Of m2 How joyously we entered the first grade in the fall of 1930! Our obligations then were very few, but we have never permitted a definite line to be drawn between our studies and our extra-curricular activities. Any one of the fifteen who remain from the first grade will tell you of the good times we have had throughout our twelve exciting years of serious thinking and good fun. These fifteen who will graduate together in May are lake Kalfs, Virginia Barch, Jane Ewing, George Armbruster, Charles Haynes, Esther Mae Keiser, Dcve Way, Imogene Moore, George Diley, Eugene Oyer, Paul Durham, Katherine Moore, Earl Litterst, Marion Keechle, and Eileen Miller. We have proved that we really can bring back the bacon for dear old W.H.S. We made a record, which has not been equaled, when we held twenty of the first twenty-five places in our eighth grade examinations. Many of us have taken top honors in the county and district scholastic tests. Our senior scholarship team will undoubtedly go down in the history of our school. We have struggled valiantly for our honors, and we feel that the struggle has not been in vain. Playing blindman’s buff, red rover, lemonade, tag, baseball, and basketball in our grade school days has developed good athletes and good sports. Not a single basketball game was lost by our junior high team. This same ball club carried the same ability and the same stamina into senior high school. They have been equally successful in football and in track. In our first few years of instrumental instruction, we were members of the junior band, then after we had attained some experience, we were promoted to the high school band. Several of our members placed in the District Music Contest. We have also taken an active part in the glee club. We, true to tradition, thoroughly enjoyed our junior year. Getting the Hi-Lites out on time was a wild scramble, but we never failed. Working on and presenting our class play, June Mad, a rollicking comedy, furnished plenty of excitement. Planning the Junior-Senior Banquet left no room for a dull moment, and receiving our guests amidst the galaxy of stars for the occasion gave us a deep thrill of satisfaction. How mature we felt when we organized our staff to publish The Waverly Novel. One senior meeting followed another for various senior activities until we felt the weight of our responsibilities. We continued to publish the Hi-Lites until the end of the first semester, and then how gladly we gave up the job to the juniors! Everything came with a rush at the close of the year, tests of all kinds, dummy due, class play selection and practice, junior-senior banquet, and the last week. That last week included Baccalaureate, Class Play, Commencement, delivery of The Waverly Novel, and the final act of all, the Alumni Reception. Thus only our reputation, our scars of identification in the building, our annual, our pictures, and other remnants and vestiges remain in dear old W.H.S. as landmarks of this, our class of 1942.
