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..

Deer Teachers, I-Iere's Qur Apple Back row: Neve, Barnhart, Willey, Cessna, Buzzard, Kis- sick, Lewis, Flaming. Fourth row: Schrag, Evans, Randels, Counsell, Merryman 1 Dey, Martin, Payne, Shcckey. Third row: Stamm, Whin- ery, Clark, Vickers. Second row: Glover, Felt, Kimmell, Mickey, McGeorge, Hooper. Front row: Jacques, Mark- ley, Galloway, Riley, Lynn, Coleman, Trumbull, Maris, Ames. CHOOLDAYS, schooldays, not under the hickory stick but the guidance of our capable faculty-and then vacation. Wise with a sense of humor, Superintendent Kissick and Principal Stamm closed the doors of W.H.S. on another successful year. Sweeping the senior class through commencement and graduation senior sponsors Misses Clark, Whinery, Jacques, Markley, and Mr. Lewis drew their venetian blinds in anticipation of a well-deserved vacation. In the native tongues of Caesar and Bolivar, Miss Dey and Miss Martin said fare- well to their language classes. With all fines paid and books checked in, Mrs. Merryman closed the library doors while Miss Glover gave a final report on the health of the students. Calculating by triangles, squares, and figures Misses Lynn and Payne, Mr. Maris, Mr. Barnhart, and Mr. Ames came to the conclu- sion that vacation was here. Having taught their students that a stitch in time saves nine and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Mrs. Trumbull and Miss Coleman unplugged the iron and turned off the stove. After successfully' promoting the tumblers, basketball and football teams, Miss Vickers, Mr. Buzz-arrl afKi'Mr. Neve again donned street clothes. Miss Kimmell and Miss Riley closed their year with a colorful music review and art display. Dramatically speak- ing, Miss Felt and her plays were tops, and in W.H'.Sis journalistic world, Miss Shockey- excelled as sponsor for the Rambler and Mega- phone. Mr. Willey was always cutting up-bugs, we mean-and Mr. Flaming taught his debaters how to out-talk any political candidate. Having proved to their geography classes that the world is round, Misses Mickey and Counsell put up their globes, and while Mr. Ran- dels wondered if he had inspired some future president, Miss Galloway corrected many aints and closed her books with a sigh. After count- ing their saws and hammers and weighing all nails, Mr. Schrag and Mr. Cessna wearily locked their tool chests. Misses Hooper and Cobb set the telephones aside, covered their typewriters, closed their doors, and began recording yearly reports-school was really' at an end. .2-
