FRESHMAN. GLASS On September third, nineteen hundred and forty, we, the new Wfreshiesn of Webster High School, came back to school after three months of vacation to begin the first lap of our high school journey. Our already small number was diminished one more as Merlin Martin moved to Pemberville. However, Lawrence Hoffheins joined our ranks at the beginning of the year but left us during the second semester. At a class meeting the first week of school we elected the following officers: President ---------- -Leonard Wight Vice President- ---- - - - -Harry Vestal Secretary-Treasurer ----- Montez Jimison. Mr. Needles consented to guide us through our year of activities. The first semester was uneventful as to social affairs ex- cept at Hallowe'en time when the freshmen were guests of the Seniors at a school party. On January 28 the Freshmen joined the Seniors in a coasting party held on the Village Hill. After an evening of hilarious fun and few casualties, we enjoyed a lunch at the school and then wended our way homeward. Three pupils represented our class in the County Scholar- ship Tests on April 5 at Bowling Green. We were proud of their achievement in the tests. Leonard Wight tied for first place in Algebra which entitled him to participate in the District Test also held at Bowling Green. Raymond Dunipace and Elsie Swartz placed fifth and eighth respectively in General Science. Our class enrollment was increased the second semester when Orval Gottschalk joined us from Pembcrville. We closed the year of activities with a party held April 15 at the roadside park on Route 23. After a treasure hunt we played several games and then roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. f ' L.w. all y. . 31'g'ggg.i.p:1i.1 '.'.-' n ee.. 4 m,g.igQgi'ji53fi.ni

SOPHOMORE CLASS Our class was organized last fall with an enrollment of eighteen members. This was an increase of two over last year's enrollment, The new students were John Newman and Eileen Hoffheins. Naomi Crow joined us the second semester. She came here from Cygnet High School. Mr. Clark was our sponsor this year. At our first class meeting we voted the class dues to be ten cents per member every six weeks, making a total of sixty cents per member for the school year. We elected the following class officers: President ----------------- Marion Layman Vice-President ---- ---- Marcella Dahms Secretary ------- ---- Iota Evans Treasurer ---- 1 ---- -------Mabel Brinker At a later class meeting it was decided that we would have a class party in the gymnasium. The party was held on Nov.27. The evening was spent in playing games, principally volley ball. After we had worked off some weight and worked up an appetite, refreshments were served b the refreshment committee. Since there were not as many members present as we had expected, we had to fill ourselves to our very fullest to eat all the food. This accounted for a couple of absences the following day. We drew names for the exchanging of Christmas gifts. We were allowed to trade names. What fun we had doing this! When the day came for us to exchange, we were all eager to see what we would receive. We had a gay time! In the second semester a large part of our effort was spent in working hard so that we might go to the music festival. S me of us took part in the chorusg others, in the band. May 25rd completed another school year for us. We feel that we have gained much this year through the guidance of our teachers. We're locking forward now to our Junior year. M.L. ' 9-41
