Everyonegpt enough to eat that night, how about it boys? The Yuletide season came quickly and with it, two weeks and two days vacation. Semester Tests! nM1dnight Oiln was burned by some conscientious students, others wished they had crammed a little when they received their grades. With these terrible nightmares over, mabegan our last semester of our hyguschool career. Our invitations were ordered and we were measured for our caps and gowns so most of us must be going to reach our aim---graduation! J S The Juniors have promised us a banquet if priorities don't interfere with the purchase of enough food to feed a class with a good appetite. They could feed two certain senior boys cocoa ----- they often had a contest between them- selves to see which could consume the most. Mary Louise Bernardi won the Annual Queen Contest. Be- cause of her salesmanship, Mary once again has brought honor to our class. uQueen Maryn, we the senior class salute you! Last semester tests for seniors will be given May the sixth and the seventh. We hope we all pass! Baccalaurate is May the ninth and our Com encement is May the twelfth. Memories-Memories of pals, of classmates, jokes, stunts, in fact everything we have done together will never com- Eletely fade away but will be recalled from time to time as we journey through the years. Friends will drift apart but memories will still remain.

ous ssmzoa YEAR V The opening of the 1942-43 school term found thirty-two seniors trudging their way toward'Huaportals of W.H.S. Some were trying to appear dignified and worldly-wise while others with a n1et's get it over withn attitude, greeted dkifriends and inspected new teachers. The second week of school, we seniors gave the freshmen their innitial initiation into the secondary school system. The ngreenn freshie boys were compelled to wear excess make- up on their faces, eat onions and wear onions and garlic a- round their necks as ornaments. If odor has any power, the Nfreshiasn were off to a 'strong' start. The freshmen girls wore 'abbreviated' costumes and their hair hung in pigtails. Glamour wasn't the word to describe these young lassies. To climax the freshmen's entrance to our high school, we enter- tained them with a party in the gymnasium on Friday night. Since we were upperclassmen, we feltwe were entitled to a day of recreation while our other lower classmates remained in school. A self declared holiday'wEEIe others have to Wong always seems more enjoyable. In the morning of this parti- cular October 'Sklp Dayn, the senior boys went hunting. They say they hunted for squirrels but we wonder? All of our ch s and our sponsor attended the show, nGone with the Wind',that afternoon in Pittsburg. The last of November,' Weir High had its annual school carnival. The event of great interest connected with the carnival each year is the 'Popularity Queen Contestn. Our senior representative, Gloria Kelso, won this honor. I Our class pictures were taken early kxthe fall and from the results, we either had a very good photographer or we just photograph well. Who knows, we might be new Hollywood material waiting to be ndiscoveredn. One of our classfhmeos liked a certain senior g1rl's picture mamuch that he ordered and paid for one of her for his 'very own'. December was an eventful month for the seniors. We received our class rings about the first of tnemonth of our class play, nMiss Smartyw was presented on December the seventeenth.
