The Megaphone 1940 Published by the Senior Class Wellington. Kansas Aye, Aye, Sirs Before us are the officers of our good liner, WHS, Captain Kissick and Chief Engineer Stamm, pictured in one of the few restful moments during this year's cruise. It is the captain who supervises the skippers that pilot ships out first grede harbors, and guide the destinies of 1100 lunior and senior high passengers through junior high canals, around the senior bays, into the oceans of life. Y The last few years they have com- manded ship WHS so that it passed all storms and is among the top ranking liners of the state. It is with pleasure that '40 Seniors look back upon their four years on the good ship, but it is with sorrow that they bid good-by to these two worthy commanders. Heigh Ho! To Press I Go! ELL, here I am! The Megaphone of 1940! That last picture is in, those lagging stories are checked, all those weary hours of thinking, planning and working are cver, end you have me. First, imagine this, the seniors voted whether or not to have me and evidently. since I'm here, they decided yes. The Journalism class had the privilege, if you want to call it that, of creating me and watching me grow. I was slow getting started, but you should have seen me blossom after the Hrst of April. Fm pretty proud of my sponsors, the '40 seniors. On my pages are the records of their activities along with those of their contemporaries, When I'm old-and you will be too-we can come together and revive musty old me- mories. One time you were so hurt because Johnny was elected president and how you wanted it! Then thereis that day when you and that young swain with short trousers and gaudy socks had your last big quarrel. You'll laugh then, I'll bet. I was made in W. H. S. and she had a great influence in shaping you. It's sort of a mutual indebtedness and at- traction. In better words than ours, let's just say, May she stand, fore'er defended by the true and brave! ..1..
