In the year 1947 we, the Senior class, came trudging up the stairs to study hall a little scared, but trying to act brazen instead. When the nine o'clock bell rang, we went to our desks to see what was going to take place next. Mr. LeDoux introduced himself, Mrs. Pauline Hackamack, and Miss Faith Saunders. After introducing them, he had the Freshman class introduce themselves. Somehow we managed to get our names out without having heart failure or fainting from being scared. We started out with the largest class in school, the pupils numbering nine. Their names being Esther Ann Lillard, Virginia Nesbitt, Frances Hafer, Virginia Harrison, Vincel Bronstine, Earl Wayne Fishback, Marvin Ridgely, Henry McClain and Norman Briscoe. A few weeks after school got in full swing, we gained one more boy, Neil Rebo. During the year we lost Frances Hafer, who went to live in Chicago and Vincel, who moved to Lewistown. We also lost Henry for a short time. The next September we came up the stairs again and found that we had lost Virginia Nesbitt to Lewistown School. We had left in our class, Esther Ann Lillard, Virginia Harrison, Norman Briscoe, Marvin Ridgely, Earl Wayne Fishback, Henry McClain and Neil Rebo. Again our teachers were Mrs. Hackamack, Miss Saunders and Mr. LeDoux. In the fall of '49 we came upstairs to find that we had some new teachers and another girl in our class, Oneida Mae Walker from Luray High School. And our new teachers were: Mrs. Beulah Gould, Norman Lee Merrell, and Edward Miller. We had the old stand by Mr. LeDoux. We also had new subjects offered. For example, typing for Juniors, speech, business arithmetic and driver training. During the year we lost Neil Rebo to Kahoka High School; however, he later enlisted in the Navy and is now stationed in Washington. Last fall (’50) we came trudging up the stairs once more thinking that this would be our last year of drudgery ; however, I imagine we will all hate to leave W. H. S. in one sense of the matter, as well as be glad it is all over. Our class now consists of Oneida Mae Walker, Virginia Harrison, Esther Ann Lillard, Earl Wayne Fishback, Norman Briscoe, Henry McClain, and Marvin Ridgely. We had as teachers Mrs. Gould, Mr. Merrell, Mr. A1 Pabst, and Mr. LeDoux. This is the history of our high school days. We have had a great deal of fun at W. H. S. These days will always be remembered. 14 —Virginia Harrison
