' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ' Four years ago the XVeleh High School opened its doors to forty-two new pupils. Most of them were from the rural districts. Work was carried on during this year in a splendid fashion, then we made the Sophomore without a failure. The year as Sophomores was one of success as the Sophomores won the basket ball contest that was held between the classes. VVe still held our pep and steam, and were represented in all school activities. The Junior Class of 1922 did many things, but most noted are the Junior play and the Junior and Senior banquet. We take our last stand as a Senior Class of 1924 with seventeen members. Every day we do our best that our school life will be more worth while. Where we can we lend a helping hand to help some fellow student of our school. VVe hope that through our influence there will be great progress next year. 1 9 2 4 on-wnwsworvo--1 -o r XX ll S. .. -.Q . - A Top Row MR. J. J.

CLASS COLORS: Purple and Gold CLASS FLOWER: Pink Tea Rose JUNIOR HISTORY Three years ago the largest class that had ever entered High School took their place in the study hall and we were the class of '25. During these three years, by the influence and advice of teachers and sponsors, we have overcome all difficulties that have come in our way, and are going toward the goal we are striving to reach. By co-operation and by each one doing their part, we are winning fame in the school activities and it is our aim to put forth all effort the coming year and make a record that will long be remembered and that other classes in the future will be inspired by our influence.

SOPHOMORE HISTURY After nine years of toil and constant preparation we hold a very prominent place in the VVelch High School. VVe started the year of 1922 with thirty-eight new Freshmen. They were all willing workers and took the general hurrah like true sports. We soon built several records that caused the other classes to notice us in a different light. By the end of the school year we had advanced so much that we were sent to make the Sophomore Class of 1924. VVe have lost part of our old gang somewhere along this road to knowledge, but we trust the remaining members feel duty bound to make the Class of 1926. They say the Sophomores have an easy time, but even though we don't work as hard as we did when we were Freshmen, we always have our lessons. But the Juniors do a lot of talking about things that we don't believe is in their lesson. The Seniors are always getting oil' from school to go after this or that. VVe hate to say just what we think, but they act like teacher's pets. .Wl924aWt WNW .. W. II. S., Twp row III-ft to rigI1tB-ARAII SHOIISE, J. VV.

Excellent parties have been given and we have had a very busy year winning beauty contests, etc. Out of the forty-three, four of the girls and one boy play on the first team in basket ball.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE CLASS There has hcen progress made in all the departments ot' the XVelch lligh School during the past tour years. This year a new one was added which proved a wonderful success. The Vocational Training Class proved to be very practical in pruning trees, judging stock and in the care and fceding ot' stock. This department represented our school at the stock judging contest held at Muskogee during the State Fair. The Manual Training and Home Economic departments have shown great progress and llltllly new improvements were added which places the school at a higher standard. The tilne given to this work has been doubled and entitles the students to a full unit in this work. The Science Laboratory is in good condition and proved very etl'ec- tive in making the work practical and interesting. . ttijst.. iXX ll. FQ.

The school heretofore has been in two organizations llllil only dramatic work was practiced. This year six different clubs were fornicd, each of a different phase. The pupils were privileged to choose the club in which they were interested. These clubs niet once a week and gave a program of real worth and value to the students. During the year these clubs have done two noted things for the XVelch High School, Thcse organizations worked in harmony and gave a program of real value which was well attended by the people of XVeleh. April the fourth and fifth were days of fun and sight seeing. as the clubs held a grand carnival at the school house. The results were good and enabled football to be introduced into the school for the next season. 5 . KK, ll, S, MISHUIDICRY Cl IIHMIC ICWINKINIIC I I I I3 .. ifil-1.. KV -1 .

The mist drew into a heavy fog as the classes, held in great suspense, settled into a watching position. All was still and in constant preparation for some unexpected event. The days held on as some wild beast drawing near its prey causes it to breathe heavy and large drops of prcspiration stand on the forehead. All hands were behind the wheel and all persons were asked to vote for one of the beauty queens. Then the long wished for day drew to a close and the classes gave in their votes. The time spent in counting votes was as the calm before a storm. Then with sudden and unexpected warning, the stillness of the night was broken as by a heavy clap of thunderg the results were read and the Freshman proclaimed victorious. The Seniors were second with thirty- seven hundred votes. The Sophomore beauty queen, Miss Audrey Davis, received ten hundred and Miss Mildred Miller, the Junior queen, seven hundred. 1 9 2 4 ,, , o ,Q T SCHOOL CALENDAR Q Sept. 3-Opening exercises in Auditorium. ?

THIRD: To the Junior Class as a whole we bequeath our ability to set exam- ples to underclassmen and to preserve the rights, of Seniors. FOURTH: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of rest- ful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need. they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her mathematics in morning class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, Efor Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. FIFTH: To the High School as a whole, we leave, not of necessity, but of our own free will, our blessings-tender memories of our pleasant associations to- gether and our forgiveness for any thingwe may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a .pledge of friendship from hencenforth and forever. SIXTH: The following may seem trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual 1'eminder of generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. SEVENTH: We do hereby constitute and appoint Mr. Bevens sole executor of our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, We, the Class wolf '24, the testators, have to this, our Will, w.ritten on two sheets of parchment, set our hands and seal this fifteenth day of April, Anno Domino, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. -0 -o--e--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--q--Q--q--o--o--o-- --o--Q--v-0--of-o--o--o--o--m 1 9 2 4 ,..,..... .....,.....g.....q..,..4..........................g..,..,..,..,..,..,. MNVV H.S.r + CLASSIUUJPHECY' In the hours between daylight and darkness I was seated in an arm chair before a glaring fire. The shadows of my room seemed to give place to the darkened interior of a vast theater. I forgot my surround- ings, and before my eyes appeared something which resembled the screen. Across this flitted the faces of my well known class mates. The first one who appeared on the screen was Carl Kelsey, who had achieved fame as an electrical engineer. The next scene was of a large concert hall, and I could see by the enthusiasm manifested by the audience that the musician was a popular favoritte. I was delighted to see that she was Ioan Talley. The scene now shifted to that of an opera room. Miss Cassie Linihan, who had become a grand opera singer, was holding the attention of the audience. Again appeared upon the screen another classmate, whose name was Dale Grindle, who had become famous as a traveling salesman. Another scene appeared in which Verna Gambrel was the center of attraction. She had become a famous suffragist and was speaking to a large audience. The scene of a school room was next and the smiling face of Beulah Mudd. There was just a sufficient shade of seriousness to show that her conscience was in her work and that she would teach goodness as well as worldly success. The next scene was of a man, and I saw the familiar face of Andrew Rohmiller, who had ltecome a noted athlete. Another school room now appeared whose teacher was Veta Billelo, and her contented appearance convinced me that she was an ideal teacher. The next scene was in China. with a tall, slender woman picking tea leaves. I soon saw she was Ruby VValton, who had become a foreign mis- sionar . Aiiother scene which impressed me very much was that of John Foust, who was comfortably seated in a room of a beautiful farm home. and who should I see sitting by the lireside with him but Veva Hendrix. Both seemed comfortable. The scene now changed to a large department store and who should I see as head clerk but Esta XVheatly. She had patiently worked her way to that position. Now appeared the scene of a quaint milliner shop in Paris, whose de- signer was no other than Helena Parker. The scene now flashed to an important center called Holleywood, California, where I discovered that Ray Newman had become one of the leading comedians of the movies. Bertha Burton next appeared upon the scene as a manicurist in a beauty parlor. The next of the many changing scenes was a nurse, clad in her white uniform, who was no other than Ethel Curry. The last scene was ot' Margaret Vandermark, who had become a home economics teacher in a large high school. The darkness of the theater again gave place to the shadows of my room. As a stick of wood rolled down and I awoke, dazed, for I knew I had been premitted to glimpse into the unknown and had seen the future lives of my class mates. W M-1924aM. Wwmmwm 95 J. R.
