Friendly smiles and bits of humor help to make a hard day a lot more pleasant. Life is a game of personalities and our personal relationships with the faculty have meant a great deal to the Class of ’55. With our didactic friend Mr. Keeney, we struggled through vocabulary tests, poets, and a succession of new names . . . We took journalism from Mr. Stevens and I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they from Mr. Fitts and Mr. Ulin (he who had something to do with Aherjona), while Miss Bailey gave us our first experience with Ancient Mariner . . . Mr. Hayward has guided the Vaudeville and pulled the A A out of the “red” many times . . . “Doc” Alley with twenty-three text books on the market has bathed us many imes with his vast knowledge . . . We’ll remember Mrs. Travis, Mr. Butters, and Mr. Burns for their patience and witty remarks . . . Coach Phillips is •a man we’ll remember for fine sportsmanship and coaching ability . . . Mrs. Stacy’s “Get your story straight,” Mr. Cooper’s work on the Student Council, and Miss Cone’s ticket selling for every event at WHS can’t be forgotten . . . “Sweet Suzy” and Mr. Skerry are our favorite philosophers, while Mr. Kotkov’s subtleness and Mrs. Genicot’s accent slightly bewildered us . . . Always on the job for the Red Cross was Miss Bronson, who, along with Miss Skornik and Miss Bennett, led the typing brigade . . . Mr. Knowlton and Miss Barnes have shaped our teams and we respect and admire their fine traits of good sportmanship and fair play . . .

With warm and heartfelt gratitude we, the Class of 1955, wish to thank our faculty for sincere interest and guidance during the past four years. We have not only gained knowledge, but through their combined ef¬ forts we have learned to respect knowledge. We wish them continued success and hope that others will benefit as we have, from their patience, understanding, and vast knowledge. To the administration we also give our thanks for the confidence they have had in us and for the work they have done to put our school up at the top, to give us a better education. We hope that we have, in return, measured up to their expectation of us. Nine
