SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We wish to thank the people of Windsor Community High School District, for the wonderful building in which the class of 1936 had the opportunity to start in their quest of high school education. Our first year’s start was delayed three weeks due to installation of new equipment, but on September 21, 1936, forty-five lucky green Freshmen entered the portals of VV. C. H. S. We elected Joe Hampton, President, Laurnette May, Vice President, Raymond Butcher, Secretary and Treasurer and Martha Morgan, Historian. Miss Walker was chosen as class advisor. Our first party was March 12, 1937 and was a success with the majority of members and three teachers present. Sandwiches and ice cream bars were refreshments. September 1, 1937 thirty-six students returned, also a new face, Virginia Sue Liston. There was a more settled beginning as the building was now complete. Our officers were Barbara Jones, President, Eugene Baugher, Vice President, Bob Jones, Secretary and Treasurer, and Dorothy Juhnke. Historian. Miss Hammer was our class advisor. We gave two parties, November 12, and February 25, the latter a “kid” party, at which we all acted natural.

Jones Historian SENIOR PLAYS This year the senior class is giving two plays under the direction of Miss Ridgley. One is a mystery and the other a comedy. The “House of Greed” is a very mysterious play. Letita Roberts, a wealthy spinster, who has a reputation of being the meanest woman in the city, is suddenly found dead. Servants and relatives all have some justifiable reason for instigating her mysterious death and these facts are revealed at the beginning of the play. The remainder of the plot deals with the attempts of the detective to find the guilty party and this provides an exc’ting trend in plot unfoldment until the end of the play when the most innocent appearing member of the group proves to be the murderer. The characters of the play are—Miss Letitia Roberts—Rosemary Edwards, Car-lotta Hendricks—Barbara J. Jones, Mamie Hield—Laurnette May, Gwenda Lee— Virginia Sue Liston, Cedric Roberts—Harold Noffke, Jerry McArthur—Delmar Shafer, Detective Brooks—Eugene Baugher.
