llbowfillllow Burl Small was the editor of the 1928 year book. Melvin Rentfrow was business manager. The art work was especially notable in this book. It was done by Kenneth Stephens, now a commercial artist. There was a big market crash in 1929, but Jane Moberley didn't let the Pow-Wow's standards slip. The advertisers came through with a helping hand due to Wendell Hart- sell's persuasion. Florence Curry, QE. I. student this yearj and a sister to our Coach, edited the Pow-Wow this year. John Bland managed the financial end of the job. None other than our English teacher Mary Ann Garvin edited the Pow-Wow with the help of the business ability of her cousin Jacob Grider. There was an Indian theme carried out through the 1931 book. At that time there was an honorary society. What do you think we found? On the shield were the names of none other than Russell Curry and Mary Ann Garvin, two members of our faculty. This was one of the best year books published. The last Pow-Wow for a few years was the 1932 book edited by Eugene Bauer and Russell Curry. The business managers were Paul York and Carl Edwards, brother of one of our freshmen, Rose Marie Edwards. After an interruption due to the depression Qterrible bore isn't it?J the publication of the Pow-Wow was resumed in 1935. This issue was planographed which was consider- ably cheaper than printing. We owe a debt of gratitude to the editors, Ruth Elder and Roberta Conley, and to the business managers, Wendell Lugar and Fred Ryherd in giv- ing us this book. A new building! A dream coming true. This was the last annual published in the old school, so it was dedicated to the old High School. The editors were Ruby Miner and Lyle Munson. The business managers, Dean Fling and Paul Bennett. We were all proud of the architects' drawing of the new building. The following year Mildred Thompson and Phyllis Storm edited the Pow-Wow and appropriately dedicated it to the now completed and efficient as well as beautiful new building. Richard Gannaway and Charles Workman Qgood financiersl made it possible for the pictures in the annual to be real pictures, not engraved copies. Last year the annual was published under the directorskip of Helen Ashbrook and Ruby Latch. Walter Rose and Junior Elder managed the accounts. Asst. Editor-Jay Garvin.

-1-llbowilllllow Freshman Class History On September 3, 1938, a group of boys and girls from country and town schools started a long aeroplane trip over Freshland. On September 6, we took off from the field carrying huge supplies of gas and oil in a fine new craft which was well equipped for a long tedious journey. There were fifty-one anxious but bewildered passengers. We were well organized with Gene Glasscock as pilot, Isaac Walden, co-pilot, Irene Ash- brook in charge of records, Howard Hamilton in charge of finances, Mary Maxine Bence in charge of past and present happenings, and Miss Ridgley as stewardess. With the crew and passengers as listed, we were off to a flying start. In a few short days we had to land in order to attend our all-school party, which was really our initiation, but we survived and were soon off to higher lands. It was not long until we flew into some bad air pockets called Algebra, Latin, His- tory, Agriculture, Geography and English. We had to make several landings for passen- gers that could not stand the high altitudes. We noticed in the distance, what apparently were dark clouds, but upon inspection we found them to be a mountain of exams. Some of us went over the top easily, while others just barely escaped mishap. The passengers that left for various reasons were: Junior Reed, Bob Gaston, Clifford Seeley, Otis Butler, and Maxine Manion. New pas-. sengers taken on board were Dorothy Osgood and Junior Ethridge. We made several other landings in order to attend various school functions which added to the enjoyment of the trip. We have made our last landing on Freshland and are now ready to start our trip over Sophland. -Mary Maxine Bence, Historian Pow-Wow History In 1922 the Senior Class of W.C.H.S. published the Pow-Wow. 1No, I don't remem- ber it, I was only a year old thenj. Orvyll Bundy was the Editor, and Ralph fDickJ Ed- wards, the Business Manager. Although this was the first year of a community high school, the student body was engaged in many activities among which were Glee Club, Orchestra, Basketball, and Track. The class of 1923 continued the Pow-Wow's publication and it was watched carefully by Garvin Grider, and Ralph Cox fthe grade school principal nowj ably managed the business affairs. The social activities were many this year, among which was the time honored Junior and Senior Banquet, and an Alumni reception and dance. Clarence Robb had the responsibility of editing the Pow-Wow of 1924 and he did a remarkable job, but he had the reliable help of Corwin Hamilton to manage the busi- ness affairs. The Pow-Wow improved year by year. This year of 1925 Glen Armantrout edited it and Edward Webb managed the business. Guess what teacher was a Sophie -none other than our Gansel Bennett-RATHER BASHFUL THEN? ?? The year of 1926 was the year of history making. The Pow-Wow was the largest and also the most costly fgood old daysj that has ever been put out. Paul Bridges edited it and Harold Nichols managed to sell 400 copies. This was the year in which the book was dedicated to the basketball team. They won the District Basketball Tournament. Hurrayll You've all heard of the Dutch? This was the theme of the 1927 Pow-Wow and Wilda Grider watched the dikes to see that no trouble hurt this Pow-Wow. Earl Davidson was all business, he didn't have time for anything else. This book was dedicated to the par- rnts. Very unique we thought! 1939 Twenty Three
