Oph0fI1Ol'3S . . The Busiest Crusaders of Them All For four years now all one hund- red forty-six of us have waded through various trials and troubles in W.H.S. to emerge as triumphant sophomofes. Because it is now 1944, leap year, we decided to throw a big sophomore leap year party. A thrill came to every feminine heart when she realized that at last she would have a chance to snag her favorite boy friend for a date. Never before had these boys had their expenses paid so lavishly, nor have they been escorted home with such gentlemanly politeness, as they were by the gallant sophomore maidens. Already we have gained a reputa- tion of being an up and coming class able to made decisions for ourselves. We have as officers, D. L. Carter for president, Joan Mercer, vice presidentg John J. Frazier, secretary and treas- urer. For sophomore sponsors We had Miss Dorothy Dey, R. E. Buchanang Mrs. Marjorie Newberry and Mrs. Vir- ginia Renicker to hurdle us over the rough spots. Teachers come and teachers go from our classes with regularity. Miss Ruby Mider was replaced by Mrs. Vir- ginia Reinicker, and Miss Crawford's place was filled by Miss Bertha Bitness until Christmas, then Mrs. Marjorie Newberry came to stay. It isn't that we produce ill effects on our teachers, it just seems as if the positions are jinxed. Sorrow cast a gloom over us when in October one of our classmates, Jim- mv Graham. died. He was missed by all his classmates because he had al- ready won a place in manv hearts by his calm, yet cheerful manner. The final salute to our class: Oh, those foxy sophomores, they used to be so green, and now they are the wisest bunch that ever was seen.

il I il kk Faculty Guardians over 850 lively and sometimes studious students are the faculty of twenty-nine teach- ers and two secretaries. For them, this has been a shifty year. When P. A. Keller was inducted into the Army, Fiske Mountain was selected to replace him as band director. Mrs. Harold Rein- ecker filled the position vacated bv Miss Ruby Mider as sophomore English teacher. Because of the illness of Miss Betty Crawford, first Miss Bertha Bitner, then, Mrs. Marjorie Newberry became regular teachers. Miss Sadie Hall came to high school from the grades as librarian. Two new men teachers were R. E. Buchanan, who teaches biol- ogy, and Artie Hall, football coach and woodwork teacher. The new foods teacher was Miss Irene Riggs. Miss Ann Holman and Miss Lanore Newton, together, had two of the largest problems of the school-200 wiggly seventh and eighth graders' in social sci- ence and English. Teacher of vo- cal music is Miss Lucy Carpenter. Stand-bye from previous years are Misses Erma Foster, Bertha Clark, Lora Lynn, Eva Jacques, Wanda May Vinson, Jeanette Smith, Pauline Shockey, Jane Swartz, Isabel Mickey, Lela Cobb, and Eleanor Markley, Mrs, Christine Carter, Cade Suran, Leonard Devore, E. J. Schrag, and Clarence Oppy. Nurse Myrtle Glover took care of permits, all scratches and headaches. Prin- cipal E. Paul Lessig and Superin- tendent Claude Kissick turned professors of physics and chem- istry. Secretaries Loisl Covington and Tillie Cannon kept track of all official business. Mrs. Cade Suran and Mrs. E. J. Schrag were substitute teachers for junior high science. All in all, they are a capable group, and Wellington high has profited because they are the fac- ulty.
