All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. WHS students believe this adage, too. For instance here we see Bob Davis, Thurman Conger, Margaret Embach, Ralph Morton, Joyce Spurgeon, Carol Austin, and Darla Scott tearing crepe paper from the goal posts after a Tiger team vic- tory. In the following pages you'll see students in their activities. You'll see organizations made up primarily for fellowship and fun. '74edafywez'ou goalpaadam
