William Schumacker THROUGH THE YEAR--FROM PROM TO PROM December 16, 1944, was truly a Night to Remember . The annual Junior- Senior prom was given early to accomodate those- boys who are leaving for the armed services and otherwise would not have been able to attend. QUEENE IRENE, reigned during the evening and her coronation was a sight to behold. The the-me carried throughout the evening was that of Royalty. LeRoy Vandewalker, the Junior class president, led the grand march, with James Noland, Senior class president, holding honor of second couple in line. All in all, this was one of the most outstanding and planned-for features of the year. SENIORS SPONSOR BOBBIE SOX DANCE, SEPT. 29 On Friday night, September 29, the Wheeler gym was crowded with jitterbiugs, waltzers, and two steppers, but they all had one thing in common. That was that they were all dancing in their stocking feet. It was one of the first of those dances given in this vicinity and everyone had a look of surprise and disgust on his face when upon entering the door he was told to check his shoes as well as his coat and hat. But before the evening was over, everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves, and it was really something to look back upon for years to come. There Is a People Mighty in Its Youth. -Shelley Although off to a rather late start, the Wheeler School, in its voluntary sales program of war stamps and bonds, from November 1, 1944, to March 21, 1945, has made amazing progress. Through the cooperation of the students, faculty, and class treasurers, the goal which as announced for the entire! year was reached in one month. This goal, to buy a jeep 1511605 on which appears the name of our school, was wise- ly extended to buy two jeeps. This second goal will be an accomplished fact by the close of school. To date QMarch 211, bond and stamp sales total S1805.20. Of this amount the Class of '45 have invested the m-ost heavily to the sum of S642.20.
