----llbowflllllow Junior Class History In the fall of 1938, thirty-six boys and girls were continuing the four year cruise, on the Windsor High Boat. Two new shipmates have joined our crew: Walter Tilford from the Gays Boat, and Frances Etheridge from the Cowden Boat. We have been very fortunate not to have lost any of our crew. Miss Hammer is captain again this year. On January 11 we entertained guests and faculty to a party, and April 21 we had a spring get-together. Our athletic boys won the class basketball tournament this year. One of our crew, Rosemary Edwards, won secc-nd in her division of dramatic read- ings in the sub-district held at Robinson, but placed first in the B Schools competing in the same contest, which made her eligible to go to the District hcld at Charleston. April 5, she won second place in Dramatic Readings at the Moultrie County Literary Meet, held at Gays. I On March 11, another member of the crew, Virginia Sue Liston, placed in the sec- ond division, in a piccolo solo contest held at Tuscola. -Joe Hampton, Historian Sophomore Class History In the first week of September 1937, forty excited students filled with turmoil and embarrassment, gathered at the dock of the four ships of education of WCHS. Having been assigned to the good ship Freshmen by the officer in charge, J. H. Duns- comb, we left port. The captain of our ship was Reta Walker. We had barely navigated the dangerous reefs just outside the harbor, when we were attacked by the Sopho- more, another ship. Although only a few received minor injuries, we shall never forgot our first encounter. Many more storms and squalls occurred, but we weathered them easily. The end of our first voyage came very -quickly. After reaching dock we dis- covered only thirty-five of the forty completed the round trip. As soon as all were granted three-months shore leave, Reta Walker, our Captain, retired from the service. On September 1, 1938, we set sail with Captain Bennett in charge, who informed us we were headed for the South Seas. All the mariners of the first voyage were baclc, including a new recruit, Harold Bullerman, from ship Strasburg, Eighteen weeks out we survived an attack of torpedos from two submarines, Latin and Geometry. Al. this time, Waunita Pifer, who had proved her seamanship in the first voyage trans- ferred to Warship Decatur . Imogene Manion was also moved to the Cruiser Stras- burg , A few days later two sailors, Donald Rankin and Velma Turrentine fell over- board, and were lost. Thirty-two were then left on board, nineteen of which played in the WCHS band. While cruising among the South Sea Islands, we were shipwrecked on a hidden reef. Here Captain Bennett organized four expeditions to get provisions. Commander Baker led party Manual Training to find repairs for the ship. Commander-Lieutenant Leeds led the detachment English and History to make use of some oldg maps telling where a valuable treasure of rare poems were hidden. Lieutenant Soland led party Ag. and Home Ec. to buy food and fresh meats from the cannibals. Captain Bennett him- self headed the searching party Biology to find some rare fossils for research work. The ship, having been repaired and filled with provisions, set sail for home. We all ex- pect to dock May 29, 1941. Here we will rest before a voyage in the North Seas where it takes more skillful navigating. -Elmer Wallace, Historian 1939 Nineteen
