WCHS In May, 1937, we all had shore-leave, but the following September, 36 of us signed back on. Two couldn't continue with us, but Virginia Sue Liston transferred from a Chicago boat and joined our ranks. Being more experienced this year, we have had two parties of our own. One was November 12, and the other one February 25. At the last party, we reverted to our old Kid selves-even to ice cream cones. We were taught the qualities of good behavior last year by Miss Walker, and this year Miss Hammer is captain. Our officers for the year are: President ................. . .. Barbara Jones Vice President ...... .. Eugene Baugher Secretary-Treasurer . . . ..... . . ..... ...... B ob Jones Historian .......................................... Dorothy Juhnke We are all hoping for increased benefit and happiness as we continue our voyage together.

History On September 1, 1937, thirty-seven seeds were planted in W.C.H.S. gardens. Miss Walker was appointed caretaker. At first all plants looked green and it was hard to tell one from another. It seemed as though all efforts had been in vain, but pretty soon they began to grow and blossom. The gardeners-Algebra, English, Latin, Geography, History, Agriculture, and Band, began to hoe out some of the weeds and prune better plants. The gardener, Band, found a great many beautiful flowers to add to his collection. The flower garden has a few distince specimens, whose names are: President .,........................................... David Munson Vice President ...... . . . . . Laurance Soland Secretary-Treasurer . ....... ........................... H arold Baker Historian ........... .................................. H arold Leeds One plant, which was rather unusual, was transplanted to the Athletic plot. This flower, Elmer Wallace, proved to be one of the five favorites of W.C.H.S. gardens. Two flowers which were so gay and cheerful, proved to be two of three leaders of all the specimens of the school's garden-cheer leaders, Laurance Soland and Harold Leeds. Although this year's garden has been most successful, it is hoped that when these flowers are transplanted from the Freshman garden plot into the Sophomore garden plot, they will be more outstanding than ever. 1 9 3 8 Eighteen
