These boys have led t1'eir class in a big way in school activities. Many of the second team in basketball were their classmates as were two mem- bers regular starters on the football team. Harold Rogers was on the Ark Valley team in two sports. On the dramatic side, Lou Ann Baumgartner was in the all school play, Roger Davis became a known debaterg everyone had a part in the sopho- more party on April 18, and the gang took an ac- tive part in keeping the Rec alive. If anyone has any doubts as to who is a soph- omore, apply thisttest: they talk more and listen less than any class in school. For all that they are at heart a good fclass in many ways.

Charles Tibks was elected jinior high fedora- tion president after a close race with Benny Waugh and Dorothy Kissick. As usual twelve de- serving boys and girls were chosen for the Lions Awards, and honored in an assembly in May. To create interest many clubs were formed for the freshman and the rest of the junior high. Several bowling teams with senior high girls and Miss Foster formed a league and offered much competition for each other. The junior high dra- matic club presented a play for assembly as they learned the fundamentals of dramatics. Jxl. lf get ' - I- ' f A if Freshmen iz

Anne of Green Gables, presented by the ll1Hi01'S, lived to its guarantee of getting a hundred and twenty-five laughs from the audience as Well as making supersalesmen of the en- tire class. Doreen Cook as Anne kept everyone roaring from the first scene to the last curtain with her vivid imagination. Unforgetable also were Sally Wingate as Marilla, the un- emotional old maidg Jerry Hyndman as Gilbert Blythe, the heroic youth who saved Anne's life, captivated her heart, and even fought a duel with Edward Sargent as Moody, the bare- foot farm boy. He impressed the audience uproariously by his, UI lc-rung your pigwbacklu Dorothy Guthrie did a good job as Mrs. Alexander' Spencer, despite her shortness of breath. No one ever asked poor Rachel Lynde's, Betty Rengel's opinion of anyth Other victims of Anne's imagination were Lois Wolf, gntsiaine Oppy, Lois Harris, Winifred Wilson, Alice Staley! and Audrea Hill. E v -Heading the ticket sales, in which every member of the dlass participated, were Roanna Argo and Faye Cain, and captains Joan Mercer, Pat White, Bob Dare, and Edward Sargent. They must have been pretty good because 860 tickets were sold: Winner of the S5 prize by selling 75 of them was Zoe Ann Colties. The cast was directed by Miss Helen Louise Crouch, and for the thousand other responsibilities necessary to make the perfoimance a success, much credit goes to the junior spon- sors, Miss Kirkhuff, Mrs. Bingle, Mr. ODDY, and Miss Erma Foster, head sponsor. We are sure the school joins with George Weber in saying, I can't say as it was and I can't sag: it wasnt but I'm sure it was the best play I ever saw. -v, - , ,s ,,.,..n .

, 1 Eighth Grade vs- by XVINILRI D XVYLSON Anything you want to know about our high school? Just ask us eighth graders. After two years we know practically everything there is to learn about rules and customs around here. We have had active parts in sports clubs, and we have discovered hidden talent through our dra- matic club, and presented plays even the seniors enjoyed. And we shall never forget our party. It was exclusively an eighth grade affair, and We elected our own king and queen, Gail Goodrum and Dorothy Hyndman, who were crowned after a royal procession. With a year of pleasure and many wonderful memories behind us, we are looking forward to next year when we will be invited to senior high parties. With a class like ours, we are sure that it will be one of the most successful that Welling- ton High has ever seen. Just you wait and see. We seventh graders have had a whole year here now and we pretty well know our Way around. It is true, of course, that the halls looked mighty long and room numb-ers were really con- fusing the first day we came to school. Football and basketball took on a new meaning for Us be- cause we began rooting for our team. If you don't believe us, you should attend our pep assemblies and hear us make those walls ring. We soon learned about those subjects the sen- iors were taking too, and we a1'e now looking for- ward to the time when we will get to do as they are now. We studied some this year, passed most of our tests tried to run down the halls, in fact we did everything seventh graders are supposed to do. Best of all we learned to sing Alma Mater, and feel proud of our school because we are full-fledged and loyal Crusaders. Seventh Grade fl- at H F .
