ip n iu -UJn m Junior Class History This brilliant organization of students entered the “Spirit of W. C. H. S.” in the year 1927 A. D. Although the magnitude of this class is to a degree smaller than some of the other class organizations, we have “quality and not quantity.” Under the adroit guidance of Miss Birkett and Miss Fortner, class advisers, many unique ideas have been made a reality. The pilot of this class was elected by an overwhelming majority and she, Lena Holsapple, has been tried and was found to be not wanting. She is ably assisted by Margaret Clawson, vice president. Several members of this class are destined to become known internationally through their efforts. Take, for instance, the oratory power of Harold Turner, Ralph Hyland, Kenneth Davidson, and Margaret Baker, or the artistic inclination of Marguerite Lemons, and Kathryn Mahan, last and far from least the athletic ability of T. D. Hennigh, Ralph Neill, Boyd Lemons, and K. Davidson; all members of first basket ball team. We are also wizards of finance—perhaps the Seniors shall enjoy the usual banquet, who knows? We have every sign of becoming thoroughly sophisticated through the untiring efforts of our various instructors. The most outstanding characteristic of this class is the decided lack of dumb scholars; never in history has a class of W. C. H. S. had the distinction of possessing such unusual uniform brilliance. Our class has had the minimum misfortune to lose one member, Lela Clawson, who embarked in the sea of matrimony, thereby terminating her education. Our most fantastic dream shall materialize next year, when we hope to ascend the glorified throne of Seniors. The dignity of the said “Senior throne” shall be engraved with an indelible impression through the accession of this year’s Junior Class— after that “we do not choose to run.” —HERBERT BALDRIDGE. li 192B —«§{ 15 )• • -

jp ont-H 0 ut Junior Class Play, “Two Days to Marry” Given in the latter part of April in the School Gym with the following cast: Simon P. Chase, as black as his race........Harold Turner James J. Dare, a wifeless heir......Thomas Dale Renneigh Ruford B. Sawyer, a timid lawyer...........Wendell Hartsell Emily Jane Pink, blacker than ink..........Kathryn Mahan Sadie L. Boise, a widow by choice.........Margaret Clawson Imogene McShane, a sweet young thing........Hazel Rankin Walter M. Blair, a millionaire...........Kenneth Davidson James Dare, a young society man, comes to the realization that if he inherits his father’s million he must be married before his twenty-eighth birthday, which is just two days off. His lawyer, Rudford Sawyer, decides to help him and advertises for a wife. Dare has a hundred women “on the string” but there is only one whom he really cares for, Miss McShave. Women of all nationalities and position in life answer the advertisement. Among these are Miss Emily Jane Pink, who “falls” for Chase, thinking he is Dare, and Sadie L. Boise, who gets a crush on Sawyer. Out of pity for Miss Pink Dare hires her as maid to his wife-to-be. After some trouble Dare marries Imogene McShane, his heart’s desire. A very few hours after his marriage Mrs. Boise comes to his apartment and recognizes Imogene as her foster-daughter. That same day he receives a letter from his uncle, who says he will arrive the next day to settle up his father’s will and that Dare’s wife must be older than Dare. Mrs. Boise promises to act as Mrs. Dare, with Imogene as maid, while the uncle, Mr. Blair, is there. All goes well until Mrs. Boise and Mr. Dare get to thinking over private affairs. Mr. Blair says that he was once married to a Sadie Boise, who left him for an unknown reason. Mrs. Boise recognizes him as her husband, whom she left because she thought he cared too much for her. Their happiness is restored; Dare gets his million and Chase and Pink, who love scenes and antics make the play comical from beginning to end, are at last happily mated. agf 16
