Many people gazed in wonder at the thirteen charming young ladies and nine bold and dashing young gentlemen as they started on the road for The Land of Great Wisdom. At first each teacher seemed more severe than each of the others and tried to see how unbearable he could make life for the timid Freshies. After a while-we learned that it was no personal enmity, but what they called discipline. We were told that was a necessity in every high school course, but we would have liked this new world better had that part of the curriculum been left out. ' .4 ,v After we became acquainted with the teachers and their exquisite manners, we loved them all, and our affections have not ceased to this day. Our introduction to the teachers was mild compared with .our experience with the upper classmen. Early in our Freshmen year, we were officially received into the high school by an initiation party given by the upper classmen of the school. We were then made true members of the high school, and the upper classmen didn't seem like such a strange, wild crowd as before. This first year our class loyally supported W. H. S. We were represented in the music, athletics,and scholarship events of the school. With. what a different air we entered high school as proud sophomores to that of the preceding year. Our class continued its loyal support of W. H. S. and won many triumphs as sophomores. ' As we entered our Junior year the world seemed to expand and our greatness enlarged in our own estimation. We entered all activities of the school and won great laurels. The crowning event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet at which we acted as hosts to the seniors. ' With what pride and joy we entered high school as seniors! How different things seemed from that of three years before! We now had a feeling of personal responsibility and wanted to make the most of every moment, since we were on the last lap of the journey that 'would place us Out of School Life into Life's School. In many ways our Senior year has been verv' successful. Mrs. Sutherland, our class sponsor for two years. coached the play Professor Pepp which was our first play. Members of our class were prominent members of musical. athletic and scholastic organizations. We are the second class that has published a year book. As the years went by our members decreased until the final list of those who are to receive the honors of graduation number seventeen. We attribute our success in high school not only to ourselves, but to our teachers who have so carefully watched over and encouraged us, more especially to Mrs. Sutherland, our class sponsor, and Miss McLindon who has proved herself a true friend to all. Mrs. Sutherland and Miss McLindon have been with us all four years of our high school life. We are about to go out in the wide world with those who are doing the use- ful things. Let us not weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap our reward. - 1928 'l'llli l'liOKii-i liSSl'S ' First row: Greenfield, Johnson, Mize, Blair, Grigsby, Sweet, Crawford. Second row: R.

Mr. Mickel The Freshmen Class of 1928 is the largest class that has ever enrolled in VV. H. S. In September this class numbered thirty-eight, but for various reasons six members have dropped out. Glenn Godsey, a member of our class passed away this last semester and now we number thirty-two. At first, everything seemed strange to these Freshies, as they entered these halls of learning, but soon they became accustomed to their new surroundings. They were otlicially received into high school by the upper classmen who gave an initiation party in their honor. Several of the Freshies have taken part in school activities, such as Music. basketball, football, track and scholastic events. The following Freshmen won places at the County Scholastic Contest: Earl Blair won second place in Algebra, Clinton Richeson first place in both English I and Algebra, Elma Staten won second place in English I. VVilburn Cochran took an active part in the track meets by running an open quarter of a mile and taking part in the medley relay. 4 'fl I ao 2 S iw TA' '1'lIl'l l'lt0GltESSUS FIRST AND SECOND PRIMARY The enrollment in this room at the beginning of the year was twenty-seven. but several pupils moved from the districtg others have taken their places until we still have an enrollment of twenty-seven.

The members of this part of our school organization have contributed greatly in the activities that help to make school life worth while. Besides giving special music programs at various times for chapel, they helped to present the Christmas Operetta, The Miser's Dreamf' which was distinctly a success. The seventh and eighth grades had an enrollment of forty-three when school commenced. Twenty of these pupils were members of tl1e seventh grade and the remainder were in the eighth. The present enrollment is sixteen in the seventh grade and nineteen in the upper class. These grades have a well organized orchestra of eight pieces. And the girls' chorus from this group presented a pageant at Christmas time. The members of these grades also took their part in the athletic activities of the school. by organizing both boys, and girls' basketball teams. Miss King had charge of the girls while VVallacc VVren. a member of the high school basketball squad, coached the boys. There were no games matched for our girls with other schools, but the boys had three with outside competition and succeeded in winning one. They also beat the high school freshmen twice. f l U J H ......,...,,,,.,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,..,,,11,g.r----'-r Tl Ili PROG RESSUSH I F 'f'W TM 51- ' 'Pi N , lyff' --N' --f 'lt1f QRDER 0fBooK5 ACTIVITIES BOOK III F w- Cff E. - Sl: I,ImpQF- A C , .

They came out every night for practice and helped to develop the strong team this year when they knew that they had no chance to make the first line-up. Our schedule this year is one of which we are especially proudg for out of nine games played we won six, tied one, and lost hut two. The last game of the season. the LeRoy game, is one which will long he remembered hy the football fans of VVilliamsburg. This all-victorious team was doped to make a walk-away of the game but the minute the whistle blew the rooters from hoth sides knew that they were going to see a battle. In the game which fol- fowed the Burg men, clearly outplayed LeRoy, making ten yards to their one and were heaten only after LeRoy had pulled two flukes for touch-downs. VVilliamshurg- 6 .. ......

GI RLS BASKETBALL In recent years the girls basketball teams have been successful organizations of VVilliamsburg High School, winning cups and honors for the school. In the last seven years, six of which have been coached by Mrs. Sutherland, these teams have lost but six games. During the last two years only one game has been lost. Much of the success of this year's team was due to the leadership and excellent ability of the captain and center Aletha Peddicord who is a Senior and graduates this year. Running center was well handled by Mildred Ashton, with Mildred Kline as Sub- center. Guard positions were played by Mabel Davis and Elizabeth Davis whose strong degense was responsible for less scoring by opponents. Elizabeth graduates this year. Sub-guards were Stella Davis and Ruth Johnson. The forwards were Ella McCurdy and Pearl Sutton whose teamwork never failed in breaking the op- posing defense. is Fira U7 m 'P UI O Z sv ra Q O rr: 'C' W il 5.

BASKETBALL 1926-1927 The Williamsburg High School Basketball Team kept the slogan Williams- burg Winsu for the two years '26-'27 by taking almost every team into camp.', The team coached by E. A. Thomas lost but three games during the 1926 season and during 1927 lost but one game which was at the State Tournament at Topeka. Probably the most outstanding players on the team were Reed at guard and Binns at center. Only two players were lost by graduation. Reed and Curry both guards graduated in 1926. The front line and good material to develop the team proved a strong competitor in the following season. In 1927 Williamsburg scored over five hundred points against the opponents 264 points. Williamsburg overwhelmed teams they met and at the State meet went to the finals. The breaks seemed to go against the team for in the last minute of play in the semi-final game Binns, the captain and pivot man of the team, severely sprained his ankle and was unable to play in the finals. As a result the 'Burg team lost by a score of 31 to 13. Williamsburg had been coached by Thomas for the last six years and had lost but few games under his leadership. Binns, Morrow and Sutherland were lost by graduation but there were bright prospects left for the coming season of '28. Binns was the outstanding player on the team scoring over two hundred of his team's points.

It seems as though the slogan Williams- burg Wins has been a jinx to the other schools of the county. The County Scholastic Contest Cup for general school has been taken by W. H. S. for four consecutive years. Cups have been won in Boys Glee Club, 'Mixed Chorus, Girls Glee Club, Girls and Boys basketball, Track, and Literary events. Trophies have been won in the following: Five in mixed chorus, seven in girls glee clubg five in boys glee clubg ten in boys basketballg four in girls basketballg six in track, and two in literary. The boys basketball teams have won the Williamsburg Invitation Tournament for the last four years. In 1927 they were runners up for the State Championship at Topeka. The glee club cups have been won in both county and state contests. The Boys Glee club of 1926 won second place at Emporia in the all Kansas Contest. The county track meet was won by Williamsburg in '24, '25, '26. The girls have won the Franklin County Basketball Tournament cup in '24, '25, '26. They were presented a trophy by the Williamsburg Business Womens Club for having gone through a perfect season. Besides these many medals have been won by individuals in scholastics and athletics. 1928 - -1117:-:LT.L'-::l:?r.: :::7' 'l'lll- l2j14y1,ljl'5Al 5' 4' I First row: Davis, Wheeler, Farney, Duvall, Sutherland, Mizc, Reeder, Sweet.

EITNER PHOTOGRAPHER Ottawa, Kansas 1 fs fafs Y THE PROGRESSUSH Out from the night of the grayish penetrating mists of heed- lessness of the morrow, in all its substile clamish uncanniness, the Ghosts of Waste stalk grimly before us. They are stalking before you. Are you flirting with the damp, misty shadows of Wastefulness without giving thought to their effect on your future-or, are you relating Their Grimnessn to the past by taking advantage of the opportunities of today? Don't let the Ghosts dance o'er the grave of one of your dollars that has been thoughtlessly murdered. Learn to spend less than your income. The feeling of security engendered tends to greater efiiciency-the highroad to success. The Williamsburg State Bank Mabel: Well, Ella, I see you've landed a man at last.
