SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 3, 1945, some forty bashful, but brilliant Freshmen entered the fair portals of W.H.S. The Seniors gave us a gruelling introduction to high school life by initiating us on November 2. Y e certainly iooked Appealing” in our inside-out clothes. Highlights of our first year were the Variety Show which v e wrote and presen- ted to the student body and also our Freshman Party. (Remember the Chevs and Fords?) Our class started out well on itsf way by actively taking part in all the act- ivities offered at W.H.S. So ended our Freshman year------------ Our Sophomore year started with an addition of the Coloraa students for which Elaine K. came to be thankful. It was a quiet year-----until Shirley D. joined our class. She came to be our class artist. Three members of our class helped win the forensic cup for the fourth year in a row. They were Tom H., Dorothy B., and Dorothy Iff. Five of our class took part in football and four played basketball. V e ll never forget our Sophomore Algebra Class. In the fall of 47 we entered high school as jolly Juniors. As a clas we published the school paper, The Clarion with Dorothy M. as its editor. Then come the great day in every Junior s life---the class rings arrived. Were there any so beautiful?) Our Junior year found six fellows on the gridiron, and three fellows on the basketball court. The Juniors were again well represented in the Forensic Field and came through with numerous honors. Then came Spring! Time for a young man s fancy to turn to love and thoughts of the Prom---with a little prodding by the girls, of course. Our Prom was held on April 24th. King Jim W. chose for his queen, Virginia K. and they led the grand march to the melody of Memories. Our long dreamed of plans for a suc- cessful prom became a reality. The Seniors chose Dorothy B. and Jim J. as the outstanding girl and boy of the Junior class. Jim W. And Tom H. were representatives at Badger Boy’s State. Our eventful Junior year ended with the Clarion staff picnic at Pleasant Lake and the all school picnic at Waupaca. On a sweltering hot day in 194 our class started on the last lap of our high school career. Class officers for our last year were; Dorothy B., President, Delbert R., V. President, Betty Muehrer, Secretary, and Bob K., Treasurer. Four Neshkoro students were added to our 1949 roll call. We assisted over ninety students in feeling at home by initiating them into W.H.S. Bob K., Bob G., Jim V!., Norman S., Burton A., and Delbert R. were members of the football squad. Monica E. was chosen Homecoming Queen and Norman S. was the king. Iluck Finn was chosen as the Senior Class Play and proved to be the most suc- cessful play given in years. Jim W., Jim J., and Bob K., helped our basketball team win many victories. The Spring of the year found us busy at work on the Artesian, getting ready for the All School Musical and the Music Festival to be held at Adams, and again going out for Forensics. Our school work and extra activities kept us busy up until the last minute of graduation day. As v e look back upon our four years we see they have been years of hard work, but years of pleasure and achievement, too. We, the Forty Niners, were not out looking for gold but we found something just as precious and as wonderful---an education, friends, and happiness. What more could one ask for? -4-
