junior Class One bright morning early in September, 1945, one hundred seventy-seven little Freshmen “greenhorns” entered W. H. S. for the first time as students. At first we were pretty bewildered but soon things began to straighten out for us. We elected class officers with Margaret Armentrout, president; “Pinkie” Wade, vice president, and Mil Maney as secretary-treasurer. That year, three new organizations were formed. These were the Latin Club, Spanish Club and Girls’ “W” Club. In each of these organizations, as well as the Social Com¬ mittee, Student Council, Red Cross, Choral Club, Cheerleaders, Boys’ “W” Club and Annual Staff, we were well represented. When school time rolled around again in September, 1946, there was the same group making its way toward the big, red brick building. There were less of us, to be sure, but those that did appear were more sure of our¬ selves. We didn’t get lost, and weren’t as scared of those privileged “ upperclassmen.” We elected Margaret Little as our class president, Tommy Gutherie as vice president, and Bill Shorter as secretary-treasurer. A band was organized and a good newspaper staff put out the Gold and Purple, the first newspaper put out in the school for at least ten years. Hockey was also introduced to our girls for the first time. This year we are “Jolly Juniors.” What a wonderful feeling it gives us, for at last we are “upperclassmen,” and the seniors are well under hand! ! We have chosen Bill Smith for our class president, with Tommy Hassard as vice president, and Richard Lotts as secretary-treasurer. The Beta Club, F. H. A. and D. E. Clubs have been formed and we have members of our class in each of these as well as those mentioned previously. We have spon¬ sored a Junior Variety Show and have given the Junior-Senior Prom, both of which were a lot of fun. Of course, all through our high school days we have been firm supporters of our football and basketball teams, but this year has proved best of all for the fellows and girls out there are often our best friends and members of the Junior Class. These three years at W. H. S. have been wonderful ones, ones we’ll never forget. It seems almost impos¬ sible that our high school careers are so nearly ended, but we’re looking eagerly forward to next year, the year when we will be “Mighty Seniors”! ! [24]
