I But we had our serious moments too. Many is the time that we left a class, our eyes glowing with inspiration, and we set out to lick the world, There never was a typical day in good old W. H. S. Every day something different happened or someone would do something to make that certain day outstanding. A lot of little incidents though, have occurred repeatedly, and our day unravelled something like this. Struggling from the arms of Orpheus, we grudgingly opened one eye to see if we could turn over again. Holy cow! Six minutes after eight! If we weren't on a diet, we snatched a handful of Wheaties and a sweet roll and were on our way. Jack be nimble; Jack be quick; if you're tardy again, you'll get the stick. After sliding safely into our seat in home room we relaxed a bit so much, in fact, we dozed right off again. But ne'er fear our old buddy gently woke us by tapping his safety shoe on our cranium. We were proud of that symbol outside our home room door signifying that our bond and stamp purchases were 100%. We always bought at least one a week—to bring our boys back home soon. After a refreshing mouthful of H20, we were ready for anything—even the obstacle course. A1—ley, al—ley, al—ley, oop! Ugh, ugh. Assembly third period. It was either a pep assembly or a student revue, or maybe we had a guest speaker. Anyhow it was very entertaining.

We came, we saw, and we stayed four (?) years, in an effort to attain a higher education. We got jeep coats, saddle shoes, sore necks from stretching them in exams, and we might add, an education. We, the members of the senior class of 1945, are sincerely proud of our book lamin' and hope that someday we shall be able to make use of that fact that the volume of any dry gas, at a constant temperature, varies inversely with the pressure it sustains. We go forth with the assurance of one only in his teens. We have answered Dad's query, Junior, how much did you score on that history exam? , many a time with, 89%, Pop. How far were you from the answer, son? Oh, just two seats. We lived constantly under the protecting wings of the proverbial You're only young once . At least three times a week one new word or phrase was added to our overflowing vocabulary, in which such prominent quotations as undubitably, boing , oh yeah , bug-a-hoppa , that wasn't very funny , and La Voo , were already becoming thread-bare from constant use. Our day was crammed full of exciting adventure. Every day was a holiday to the shining eyed students. We daintily tripped through the halls with our safety shoes and loafers, adding delicate sounds to the chaos of those three minute pauses that refresh . In Einstein fashion we indulged in such mathematical pursuits as counting the squares of sound-proof tile in study hall, daily.
