The W , . EN YEARS AGO the students of Wells High School dreamed of a block W constructed on a hill north of town. This desire remained a dream until the year of 1927. At this time the Senior Class Cclass of '28J planned to construct this letter. However, with the termination of the school year, the class of '28 graduated leaving their work to their successors. At the beginning of the next year, September, 1928, the work of building the letter was taken up at once. The first step was to interview a surveyor who pointed out that it would be almost impossible to build the letter on the hill first Planned. A new location was suggested on a hill south of town and was chosen by the Student Bodyg so a, committee of boys, accompanied by Surveyor Morrison, journeyed to the new location and staked out the letter so that it faced the town directly. Although the new location did not afford as good a viewiof the letter, it made the work of construction easier. The next problem was to find a time when the whole student body could and would get together to start the work. This was solved by Mr. Wooster who gave us a Friday off. This day was proclaimed Letter Day and each year we hope to recognize this day in order to keep the letter in good shape. On this Friday, October 5, a lively student body was trans- ported in cars to the foot of said hill and from there everyone had a good hike. The boys immediately set to work and the girls prepared the feed. After putting in a real day's work of carrying rocks, everyone enjoyed the eats and departed for home, tired but very happy. This was just a beginning but What is well begun is half done, so it will be but a short time before a shining, white block W will be smiling down 011 a proud Student Body of Wells High School. R. Leighton, '30. f
