 O m Senior Class History ALTHOUGH having entered W. T. H. S. four years ago as a class of 59 members, only about one-half will complete their school career. In our Freshmen year we organized, electing Leo Lucas for our President. Even though we were just “Freshies” we were represented in all school activities. Ten of our boys went out for football and one, Edward Andrulis, made his letter. Quite a few made second team letters. The girls also went out for athletics and made a good showing. The second semester nineteen new Freshmen joined us. There were members of our class in the orchestra, semi-chorus, operetta, literary programs, etc. Upon returning the second year we were disappointed to find that only twenty-nine returned to carry on their school work. Leo Lucas was re-elected as President. Out of the ten boys of our class who went out for football, five made the first team. In basketball three made he first team. Several members of our class were on the newspaper staff. As the number of those is limited, this was quite an honor. At the beginning of the new organization, “The Student Council,” Owen McArdle was elected to represent our class. In our sophomore year we also gave a play entitled, “Fun in a Photograph Gallery.” It kept the audience in laughter from the beginning until the end. Needless to say, it was a great success. As Juniors, we elected Anna Savoldi for President. Carrol Henderson was elected to the Student Council. This year eight boys made the first squad in football. Three members out of the four on the Athletic Board of Control were Juniors. As is the custom for the Junior Class to give a play, we gave, “It Happened in June.” It was one of the best plays ever given and was a great success. Members of our class represented the literary societies in the contests and have done it very well. Several of our members were chosen for the Owl Society. Our most successful social event was the banquet which we gave to the Senior Class of ’26. It was held at the Fisher Club in Danville. Our fourth year we organized electing George Krivisky as President. George was also elected Editor-in-Chief of the “Janus.” Agatha Passis and Wilbur Jessup were the fortunate ones to be elected to the Student Council. This year, as in previous years, our boys were active in Athletics. John Myers, a member of our class, was Captain of the ’27 football team and Carrol Henderson was Captain of the basketball team. In general, the class of ’27 is made up of good students, almost everyone appearing on the Honor Roll. Six students were chosen to the Owl Honorary Society. They were Marjorie Buskirk, Owen McArdle, George Meinart, Carrol Henderson, John Myers and Agatha Passis. In the Operetta, Chorus, Orchestra, on the Newspaper Staff and Athletic Board of Control and other activities, members of our class are to be found. This year we gave a ball at St. Mary’s Hall. It vras a formal affair and a success. Everyone present reported an enjoyable time. As the time draws near when we shall leave our dear “Alma Mater” it is with many regrets that we shall depart through her portals and go out into the wide, wide world to seek our fortunes. And if at any time we come to a point where it seems as though we can get no further, where all our efforts seem fruitless, we will recall to our minds the motto of our High School days, “It is our endeavor to try, and determination to succeed,” and go back to our tasks with renewed hope and energy, striving to play our part in life in an optimistic way.
