Bugs , Russell, MTS. Carter, Bob, Peg, and Lois Mae. For six years, we, the Seniors of '44 have been preparing to make our debut into the world of business. Around us have been high, safe Walls, text books, and teachers watching, but ,now as the strains of Pomp and Cir- cumstanceu still ring in our ears, we set out by ourselves to gain for ourselves. In the fall of '39, one hundred fifty seventh graders entered the portals of W.H.S. Junior high flew by. It was in the spring of our freshman year that Janice Rogers, Joan' Dykernan, Mary Frances Titus, Mary Jo Mercer, Peggy Renn, Lois Mae Miller, Charles O'Neal, Arnold Brandt, Donald Hyten, Russell Burris, Sanford Hughes, and Bob Ewing were honored with the Lions Jun- ior Award. Our sophomore year is rather hazy and insigniffcant, but we awoke as juniors to produce a smash hit, Plane Crazy . Later that year, we were hosts and hostesses at the .Timior-Senior Prom, in Our Garden of Dreams . As seniors, we have already lost many of our boys to the armed services. These boys are Bob Ate, Arthur Gasper. Bill Graves, Kenneth Guthrie, Glen Mclilach- ern, Duane McMillin, Charles O'Neal, Vincent Serrioz, B'llv Tis- dall, Manuel Vargas, James Whitley, and Ralph Luevano. This year we were honored by the juniors at the annual Junior- Senior Prom. Our senior play, Square Crooks , was a financial as well as a dramatic success. Bob McClure was elected Stu- dent Federatiosl president to pre- side over assemblies, and senior class officers were president, Rus- sell Burrisg vice president, Frank Holefelderg secretary, Lois Mae Miller, treasurer, Peggy Renn. Robert Richmond was elected to head the Hi-Y, president of Girl Reserves was Mary Frances Ti- tus. Gloria Fetters was president of the pep club. Senior sponsors were head sponsor, Mrs. Chris- tine Carter: Miss Bertha Clark, Miss Eva Jacques, and Leonard Devore. Because the senior class of '44 is an unusual class, our gradua- tion exercises were held on the athletic field. This was the first time that Baccalaureate and Commencement have been twi- light affairs, held out of doors. Thus ends six years of glory. Nell Frazier. A.A.U.W. ffirls were Nell Fra- zier, Janey Hackney, Mary Cath- erine McNair, Lois Mae Miller, .Tanice Rogers, Sarah Rothrock, Mary Frances Titus, and Mar- garet Wright. Rotarv boys were Hollis Berg, Arnold Brandt. Russell Burris, Charles Howard, Sanford Hughes, Donald Hyten, Charles O'Neal, Neil Vaughn and Reitzel Zim- merman.

What with getting out the Rambler for the Daily News each Friday, reading many mag- azines, books, and newspapers, and finishing this Megaphone, the journalism class has had its hands full. Those busy students running around first. hour are often just the jour:alism class hot on the track of something new. We have kept the students informed through the Rambler as to what's going on in school both in activ- ities and the social whirl. If you should have a bone to pick with Super's Snooping, just blame all the journalism class because Su- per Snooper was incorporated this year with a different editor each issue. At the end of the first se- mester a new Rambler staff took over: both Nell Frazier and Janey Hackney have served it well. The Megaphone has been on with a bang all year! The journ- alism class elected Colleen Cy- phers editor, Shirley Mann assist- ant, and Jo Anne Brown business manager. The pictures were al- most all taken early, but the work really began in earnest when the stories for the Megaphone were started, and here we had many a tussle trying to get the Write- ups in to meet a deadline. The senior prophecy caused the most trouble as someone was always losing it. At last the pictures were all taken, somehow the stories were written, the farewell finished, and we thought for sure that We were through but we found we were only getting start- ed. Each page had to be proof- read and the pictures all checked. The senior panels had to be laid out and mounted, the snapshots were cut down and finally those pages were finished. At last we :rot all the pages in to the printer and settled back to await the verdict of our finished Mega- phone! We have had both, good and bw! t'mes doing the Megaphone. but now, after it is al finished, we are glad we had at liand in it! S.R. 0
