s enter How well we remember the day we entered Wheatfield High School. your years ago--it seems but yesterday. Independence was our virture and has remained such throughout our high school years. Our sponsor for the year was Mr. Gerald Rainford, who very ably led us through the year, we were all a little wary of what the sophomores might do to us at initiation, but we lived through it. We selected June Myers as the popular girl of our class and when all the money was counted we found that our class had won. Coming back to school after the summer vacation, we found ourselves sophomores. Mr. Howard Williams was our sponsor, and with his help we man- aged to get through the year without any serious mishaps. During the middle of September we initiated the freshmen properly. During the year we ordered our class sweaters, royal blue and white. For the popular girl of our class we chose Mary Alys Sprague, and much to our delight we won the contest again. Juniors at last, we felt pretty big now. We ordered our class rings during the first semester and recieved them during the second semester. Right away there was an exchanging of rings between some of the juniors and seniors. Our play was a comedy called, Bashful Bobby. The members of the cast were; Wilma Swart, Joyce Risner, Phyllis Calvert, Lila Walker, Margaret Jordan, Esther Yerion, Kathleen Seegers, Norbert Henrichs, Paul Howard, Lewis Jones, Richard Polczynski, Bobby Theis. The theme of our prom was, A Spring Garden. Mary Alys was again our popular girl and as before we won the contest. Miss Stroup, our sponsor, helped us with lots of our work. We returned from a mad scramble of a summer to the envious ranks of seniors only to find that we didn ' t have time to really enjoy ourselves. Right away we were faced with the problem of deciding what our class gift was going to be. After much thought we decided that the most permanent and necessary gift was wall molding. This would enable us to have our rogues gallery which will feature the seniors of all years. Once again Mary Alys Sprague was chosen popularity queen and won with a large majority of votes. With such enthusiastic fellow students and the kindly guidance and understanding of Miss Brown, our sponsor, our senior year was proving to be the most eventful we had yet encountered. Along with our name cards we received memory books. The teachers and athletic squads also received writers cramps from personally signing auto- graphs. Everybody in the class was on some committee or other so we were always kept busy. After we received our invitations we sent them out to our friends and relatives. We picked our play, Am I Intruding, which was given in Itey. We practiced on how to walk up to the stage in a dignified manner and then the moment we had been waiting for finally arrived— we graduated. 7
