Thirty-nine Senior Class History FRESHMEN In September of 1942 the largest class of Freshmen in the history of Wi¬ comico High School entered the strange new builaing to begin their high school career. To most of us Freshmen the building was the most bewildering maze of hells, stairways, classrooms, and traffic regulations that they had ever seen. With a little help we all reached the auditorium and were as¬ signed to nine different home rooms: Miss Gordy—then in room 10; Mrs. Disharoom—then in room 8; Miss Adkins in room 11; Miss Helen Warren in room 20; Mr. Houston—then jji room 22; Miss Morris—then in room 21; Miss Josephine Warren in room 23; Miss Stewart—then in room 24; and Mrs. Williamson in room 27. With a great deal of help we got our sched¬ ules straight, finally mastered the stairway and hall traffic rules and settled down to some good hard work. Later in the fall there were the Freshmen parties—two because the class was so large. The war had put an end to Varsity Sports, but Intramurals were enthusiastically supported. The Op¬ eretta, in which many Freshmen took part, was the next big thing on our calendars for the year, but Red Cross drives, Student Council activities, and assemblies made up a very busy year. Then that busy and happy day in May came when we were dismissed for our summer vacations. Most of us were very pleased that next year we would be sophomores who could really have fun with the Green Freshies. SOPHOMORES The September of 1943 found us back at Wi-Hi as sophomores. Every¬ thing was about the same, a few homerooms had disbanded entirely, a few had changed, new faces had been added, and old ones had disappeared. Early in the fall two successful sophomore parties were held. The war no longer curtailed Varsity Sports, so Football, Basketball, Soccer, and Base¬ ball, as well as Intramurals, were high on our list of activities. Throughout the year we supported the newspaper, Red Cross, Bonds Stamps sales, and assemblies. The next really big affair was the Musical Comedy, which was a big success. Many sophomores took part. In that year also, the first May Day in Wi-Hi ' s history was held. Faculty and students agreed that from then on we had to have a May Day every year. That year many sophomores were elected to positions on the Student Council and news¬ paper. Then, in May again we were dismissed for the summer with the comforting thought that next year we would be Juniors—Upperclassmen. JUNIORS Back again in September of 1944—this time as Juniors. Our Junior year was a busy one. This year we again had Varsity Sports and many Juniors held positions on the teams. Juniors acted as officers on the Student Coun¬ cil and newspaper while our class president—Robert Niemann presided over class meetings. The Variety Show , The Junior class play—a comedy called Growing Pains —May Day, and the Junior-Senior Banquet were all big successes. But V-E Day over-shadowed everything else. The year passed —I realized now as I look back—all too quickly, even though the next year we would be Seniors. Forty SENIORS The fall of 1945 found 170 seniors in five homerooms. Senior class of¬ ficers were elected: Joann Mitchell—president; Dick Stevens—vice-president; Hobart Hughes—treasurer; Ruth Holland—secretary; and Nancy Duffy — historian. The Student Council was headed by Judy Wood, and the news¬ paper editor was Pat Meise. Athletics—Varsity again under the experi¬ enced direction of Miss Lippy and Mr. Hewlett—was carried on in great fashion. The Glee Club was in full swing as always. Miss Adkins put on some very entertaining programs, including the Footlight Revue , which was given April 4 and 5. The Senior Play—under the direction of Miss Stewart—is just getting underway. The play is called Ever Si nce Eve . The Junior-Senior Banquet and the Senior Prom are looked forward to with eager anticipation. Thus we, the class of ' 46, will be graduated from Wi-Hi as all other classes, and as they, will take with us memories. Memories that in years to come we will relive, especially when the going gets tough. Our hope is that on-coming classes will find as much to enrich their lives, broaden their outlook, as we have found during our years in Wicomico High. Nancy Duffy—Historian Will We, the Class of ' 46, of Wicomico High, of the City of Salisbury, in the County of Wicomico and State of Maryland, being of sound mind (?) memory (Hubba-Hubba), and understanding, do make our last will and testament, and hereby devise and bequeath our earthly possessions and otherwise in the fol¬ lowing form: 1.

As soon as we had assembled in the auditor¬ ium the following home rooms were assigned us—15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 26, 30, and 32. With guidance we soon learned our way about. We became ac¬ customed to the hot-dog line and Attention, please! Then we set out to make a name for ourselves. Of courrse, the Sophomores never let us forget that we were only Freshies, but we persevered. Our Freshman party promoted friendships and made us feel more a part of our school. We did our best in the Red Cross drives, war bonds and stamps sales, end Wi-Hi News subscription. Some of us found time to enjoy the activities of the Glee Club, intra-mural sports, and to participate in as¬ sembly programs. When the May Day celebration came cn und we took a part, too. After a splendid vacation one hundred ninety-nine of us re-entered in September 1944 as Sophomores. It didn ' t take us long to get ou work lined up, at least to our satisfaction. The class party in the gym was a success at least-again-from our stand point. Again our sweet little voices could be heard trilling away in the Glee Club. The first Wi-Hi football team in three years was aided much in its victory march by several members of our class; as was the newly or¬ ganized soccer team. We participated in Basketball, the Variety Show, May Day, Cheer leading and were represented on the News Staff and in the Press Club, making up in enthusiasm what we lacked in ability. September found us trooping for the third time to W.H.S. This time our ranks had thinned to one hundred seevnty-eight. Besides the usual election of home room officers this year came the nomination and election of the following class officers who were to lead the class through the year; Presi¬ dent, Bill Mitchell; ’Vice-President, David Grier; Secretary, Betty Brady; Treasurer, Shirley Stevenson, and Historian, Louie Hopkins. Five from the class received sweaters for extraordinary bravery on the gridiron and the ability to charm the girls . The Soccer and Basketball teams were supported by the class. The Junior Class Play, Tiger House, was such a success that it was booked for two performances. We produced one home room play and helped in the Christmas Play. These three years have been well spent and fully enjoyed — indeed the proper background for our last year as reigning dignified (?) seniors. Louie Hopkins — Historian Fifty-three Tiger House On Nevember 15, 1945, members of the Junior Class presented Robert St. Clair ' s mystery play Tiger House under the supervision of Miss Helen Warren. The play was a great success and was one of the best plays ever presented at this school. The setting is laid around an isolated country estate called Mystery Manor , because of the alleged hauntings. Erma Lowrie, a young shop girl, has inherited the estate from her eccentric aunt, and according to the terms of the will, she must occupy the house for the period of one year. This house was supposed to be haunted by deceased aunt and a phantom tiger which appeared at midnight in order to regain possession of a fabulous collar of jewels which had been stolen from its neck years before. The play explains the strange and weird happenings and the way in which Erma manages to retain possession of her inheritance. A mysterious red lamp, supposedly indicating a death, and the eyes of a picture over a mantel glowed several times during the play, producing an eerie effect. The cast consisted of Jeanne Jennelle as Erma Lowrie, Joanne Price as Aunt Sophie, Joby Phillips as the Mystery Woman, Jane Brown, Julius Mitschke, Bob Mayne, Dale Perdue, George Horstemeyer, Jean Isakson, and J.ouie Hopkins. The cast was ably supported off stage by Erma Young, Betty Sue Payne, Richard Bowen, Bill Mitchell, and Richard Parsons. Mrs. Sarah Long and Miss Bessie Bailey also helped to produce the play. The outstanding feature of the production was the splendid cooperation and tireless effort on the part of the entire Junior Class. Bette Brady was student director and was assisted by Jane Burbage. Fifty four Fifty-five THE LOCKERS X ' x ' N e SEEN ' T HE SPi AE -TVW e ' V SV?PEV l fVT - co outers Fifty‘nine The Student Council This year the students of Wicomico High were fortunate in having Judy Wood as the president of the Student Cooperative Association. She was obly assisted by Robert Neimann as vice-president, Joe Kane as 2nd vice-president, Jane Burbage as 3rd vice-president, and Joan Stauch as Secretary-Treasurer. Robert was the head of the monitors while Joe had charge of assemblies, and Jane took charge of the school ' s social life. Each senior home room had two representatives. Each other home room was represented by one student. Mr. Cordrey acted as adviser. The Student Council has had charge of school parties, the monitor sys¬ tem, and assemblies. The Wi-Hi News Staff Organization and publication of a student newspaper at Wicomico High School was begun in 1937, under the successful editorship of Miss Audrey Stewart. The school year was climaxed by a special Senior issue which was published in lieu of a yearbook. The editor in 1938 was Josephine Taylor, in 1939, William Tilghman, in 1940, Charlotte Ann Wilkins, in 1941, Orland Langrall, in 1942, Charlotte White, in 1943, in 1944, Mary Lou Jenkins, and in 1945, Kitty Meise. This year 1945-46, the ever-growing Wi Hi News was edited by Pat Meise, sister of our editor of last year, and Marianna Rounds, Associate Editor. Mr. Frank Mitchell was faculty advisor. The editor was assisted by a staff which included Mary Lee Kelley, Nancy Duffy, Mary Lou Burbage, Pauline Downing, Irene Krest, Peggy Jean Lester, Mendel Heilig, and Louis Seidel. Sixty-one Wi-Hi Press Club The Press Club has elected its officers. They are: Nancy Duffy, president; Betty Brady, vice-president; and Joan Wharton, secretary. The purpose of the club is to teach its members the ethics of journalism and to help them understand how the school paper is run. Occasionally, there are speakers who tell the club about journalism. There are numerous committees being formed and plans are being made for after school dancing and picnics when the weather is warmer. Sixty-three Sixty-four Glee Club The Glee Club is one of the worthiest and best known organizations of Wicomico High School. Under the direction of Miss Sarah Graham Adkins, it has performed, as in previous years for assemblies, P.T.A. meetings, at the Christmas Pageant and the Commencement Exercises. Most of its members have also volunteered to help in the fourth-coming musical revue. Members of the Glee Club are volunteers from all classes. During the last five years there has been another campaign for more boys to join. At present there are 165 members. Wednesday is the regular meeting day, but much time has been given by both Miss Adkins and its members prac¬ ticing music tor special occasions. The officers of the Glee Club are elected by its members. For the year of 1946 they were as follows: President_ Vice-president Secretary _ Treasurer_ Accompanist . _Judy Wood Marianna Rounds _Joan Wharton - Ann Kuhn -Ruth Holland One of the loveliest memories that the seniors will carry with them is the music of the Glee Club. Sixty-five The Wicomico High School Band One of the most outstanding organizations of Wicomico High School is the Boys ' Band. Contrary to belief, the band consists not only of boys, but also of musically minded girls. The splendid record of the band speaks for itself. Founded in 1937, the bend participates in parades, drives, public ceremonies and various pro¬ grams and has won for itself several awards of which the school is very proud. However, the band makes its grand debut by giving an annual con¬ cert in late February or early March. The participants o fthe 1946 concert, which was given on March 8, were as follows: William Adkins, James Brown, Charles Williams, William Simms, Robert Niemann, Stuart Haemil, Dudley Phillips, Samuel Krause, Loretta Shockley, Dale Perdue, Robert Field, Ken¬ neth White, Guy Brittingham, William Mills, Wallace Gravenor, William Townsend, Kelly Walls, and Joyce Cannon. These eighteen students were active and qualified members of the Wicomico High School Band in 1946 and constituted the nucleus of the organiaztion. In paying tribute to the W. H. S. Band, the students cannot forget their patient and beloved Professor H. B. Marston. Under his able leadership and dynamic ingenuity, the W. H. S. Band has acquired an excellent repu¬ tation. Many of the boys whom he taught have gone out into the world and have begun brilliant musical careers. It is the sincere wish cf the seniors that Chief Marston will have as much success with the band next year. Sixty-seven The Senior Prom, on April 26, was planned by a committee consisting of two elected representatives from each senior home room with Miss Gordy as faculty advisor. Considered to be the high-light of social events at Wi-Hi, it was- acclaimd as highly successful. All plans were made and executed by the following sub-committees: Invitation_Joann Mitchell, Lloyd Hopkins Bids__Betty Hurdle, Joann Lewis Decorations_Robert Shockley, Janet Carrico, Bill Esham Refreshments_Ann Kuhn, Bill Croswell Orchestra _ Mary Ellen Gordy, Robert Niemann Sixty-eight May Fete The third annual May Fete was held May 9. It was a display of pastel colors and flowers forming the background for the crowning of the May Queen, Mary Ellen Gordy and her Duchess, Joann Mitchell. The Duchess and the class attendents, all of whom were elected by their respective classes, were escorted in the royal procession by young men of their own choice. The Senior attendents were Judith Wood and Patricia Hogarth. Those from the Junior class were Kessy Larmore, Juanita Benson, and Phyllis Mar¬ shall; the Sophomore class selected Anne Robins, Jane Rassa, and Joan Stauch; while the Freshmen attendents were Joan Hemming, Betty Boston, and Virginia Christian; and the Eighth grade selected as their attendents Sally Wulf, Joan Atkinson, and Mary McGrath. Robert Nieman, as Vice-President of the Student Council, crowned the May Queen during the ceremony. Dancing and singing, under the sponsor¬ ships of the Physical Education department and the Glee Club, formed an important part of the May Day Program. Music for the processional and recessional was played, as usual, by the Band. The May Day Activities were closed by a Tea Dance in the gymnasium of the school. Sixty-nine The Cheerleaders This year Wi Hi ' s cheerleaders have done a splendid job and should be congratulated. Under the guidance of Mrs. Smullen, Dot Adkins, (Captain), Shirley Adkins, Doris Brown, Anne Elliott, Ann Robins, Peggy lean Lester, P e 9gy Ring, and Aline Brown have led the students in cheering at all of the home games and at many of those played away. This year, instead of the white sweaters and dark blue skirts of last year, the cheerleaders wore yellow sweaters and blue skirts lined with yellow. They looked very attractive. Seventy-one The Girl’s Athletic Association The Girl ' s Athletic Assoc iation is composed of the girls in our school who are interested in sports. It is an independent organization run by officers elected by the members, under the sponsorship of Miss June Lippy. The present officers are Johanna Crisp, president, Patricia Meise, vice- president, Mary Louise Dickinson, treasurer, and Ann Troy, secretary. The purpose of The Girl ' s Athletic Association is to make the girls of the school more interested in sports and more conscious of their part in school life. All activities of the organization are carried on out of school hours. The dues pay for three athletic awards, namely the numerals, the W.H.S., and the big “W . This year, with the able assistance of Miss Lippy, the officers took the responsibility of the American Red Cross Drive for our school by collecting contributions and keeping records for the drive. During the years of high school records are kept of the number of points each girl earns in sports. Each award has a number of points that must be earned before it is given. The awards that have been earned are presented at one of the regular monthly meetings. At these meetings the business of the association is carried on and all matters of importance are discussed. The girls of the association have done a splendid job and should be thanked for the interest in sports they have aroused. Seventy-two The Soccer Team The Soccer team was coached this year by our principal Mr. C. H. Cordrey and Mr. Charles Berry. During the past season we played the neighboring towns of Mardela, Delmar, Hebron, Pocomoke, and Pittsville. The total number of games played was twelve. Of these we won six, lost five, and tied one. The team consisted of Dick Croswell, who was team captain, Bill Cros- well, Charles Bishop, Victor White, Kenneth White, Bill Simms, Guy Britting- ham, Bill Mills, Don Bradley, Charles Williams, Roger Banks, Bill Morris, Bill Adkins, Richard Perdue and Walter Webster. Seventy-three r y J A % i • ' f n - 5 ♦ i l 7 4 4 ■ • ' xy . r t i %r 1 t y K° j v a Football 1 - r ' r r ♦ This year our football season was carried out successfully under the fine leadership and coaching of Coach Andy Hewlett. Again this year the boys received their football sweaters from the Kiwanis Club. Among those who received their sweaters and will not be seen on the gridiron next year are: Stanley Jones, Stanley Smith, Bill Williams, Richard Shockley, Elmer McDonough, Warren Callaway, Harry Stein, Bill Hobbs, Jack Collins, Bill Esham and Claude Willing. Letters were also presented to Donald Malone, Stanley Jones, Bill Esham, Bill Malone, Bill Williams, Bull Donoway, Harry Stein, Bill Mitchell, Warren Callaway, Claude Willing, Elmer McDonough, George Broughton, Joe Kane, Jack Collins, Richard Shockley, Bill Hobbs, Stanley Smith, Howard Hayman, and Bill Hamill, Mgr.) The team was well managed through the able guidance of Bill Hamill and his assistants, Assist. Mgr. Bob Fithian, Bill Byrd Nock, and David Greer. Bill Williams was elected permanent Captain for the next football season, with Howard Hayman as alternate captain. -V .t ( n Our team played seven games of which we won five and lost two. Only two lettermen, William and McDonough, were available at the start, so the boys developed nicely as the team went along.
