S E N I 0 R C L A S S H I S T'0 R Y In the fall of 1941, nineteen streamlined bicycles pulled up to the Westervelt High School, with Mr. Burgner leading the poor green Freshmen. Our first stop was at Shelbyville parkg we had a weiner roast and then went skating. Next, we peddled back to school for another party. Frances Pierce and her bike left us after the first semester, but the remaining eighteen bikes reached the end of the year with safety. Before starting on our second trip, several of the bikers decided to change routes. Beta Baker and Mary H. Shiels Joined the Shelbyville group: Haurine Jones peddled off to Moweaqua. Just as we were getting ready to take off Dale Smith from Bethany came peddling ln. t When Captain Burgner left to serve in the U. S. Army we chose Miss Stewart to act in his place. We had many interesting adventures during our Sophomore year. Once we peddled out to Howard's woods for a hay ride and weiner roast. Next we stopped at Burk's for a sled ride. Daniel Winings paddled off to attend a defense school, thus leaving us with only fourteen bikes. In September, 1945, we started on our third trip with only twelve bikes, because we had lost Dorothy Warner to Shelbyville and Lavonne Largent to Vienna. We chose Miss Isley as our Captain, and on December 3, with the aid of three Sophomores, gave the play 'Nuts and Bo1ts.' It was a great success, so to celebrate we had a weiner roast at the reservoir.
