Class Flower .Xinerican Beauty Rose Class Colors Red and Navy lllue Four short years ago on a beautiful autumn day in September, there occurred an event in the history of VVaynesboro High School. One hundred and seventy-three little Greenie fresh- men found their way into the halls of their Alma Mater to begin their high school education. After electing Clyde Funk to guide them through the first year's struggle, the class began to take an active part in the various activities. The class was represented in basketball, Blue and Gold staff, choral club, band, forensic activities, and orchestra. Many of its members proved their scholastic ability by attaining the honor rolls. As sophomores, the class of 1940 reelected Clyde Funk to lead the class through another successful year. To the football squad the class gave Newman, Levick, Minnick, and Kugler. Tomlinson, Ringer, Minnick, Neal, and Geesaman furnished basketball material. These men contributed largely to the success of the undefeated junior varsity. Nor did this class fail to shine scholastically in its second year. Many found their way into the Choral club, orchestra and band, and Blue and Gold staff, with Eleanor Ross serving as an associate editor. ln addition to these honors, the class of 1940 was the first sophomore class in the new senior high school. In the fall of l938 the class launched its junior year under the able leadership of Robert Ringer, who had as his faithful assistants Clyde Funk, Florence Beckner, and Paula Stover. For the varsity the class furnished VVilbur Minnick, Joe Kugler, Chase Levick, and Carl Margin and supplied Bob Ringer, Charles Shindldecker, VVilliam Smithfield, Bill Teeter, and joe Newman as material for next year's varsity. The basketball team was well supported by such men as Ringer, Tomlinson, Neal, and Minnick, while the junior varsity found Kugler and Levick, invalu- able to its success. The class of 19-1-O supplied many of the grapplers to the wrestling squad in its first year as an interscholastic sport. This class did not lack for beauty. This was proved by the fashion show, which was spon- sored to defray the expenses for the remainder of the year. The models were: Betty Barnhart, Betty Lindsay, Mary Ann Smith, Alice McLaughlin, Mildred Gorman, Frances Toms, Florence Beekner, Marie O'Toole, Rosa- lie Stenger, Genevieve Thomp- son, jean Benchoff, Geraldine Deardorff, Pauline Baker, Shir- ley Ambrose, June Snider, Bet- ty Peiffer, Jean Garland, Paula Stover, Helen Campbell, Verna- di11e Peiffer, Jeanette Reid, Joyce Reachard, Helen jones, Mary Martin, Mildred Mace, and Imogene VVarren. Miss Eleanor A. Miller, the class ad- visor, directed the fashion show. Many aspiring junior journal- ists found a place on the Blue and Gold staff. These included:
