JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY During the autumn days of 1937 a band of some thirty-five or forty small but determined pioneers started out to conquer the Great Plains of W. C. H. S. We got under way about the first week in September. Not being accustomed to the ways and means of surviving this hard life, we were somewhat mixed up during the first few days of our journey. However, we got used to the hardships and proceeded on our way. We met a few tribes of hostile Indians (English, algebra, and agriculture) during the first term of our journey. The English and algebra tribes were the most fierce. The unusual detail about these tribes was that they were led by a couple of Squaws (Garvin and Walker). The agriculture tribe was led by Chief Johnson, the first red headed Indian I ever saw. Despite the Indians, none of our band had been massacred when spring came and we camped for a rest, which lasted through the summer of ’38. At about the same time as in the previous fall, we renewed our journey in 1938. Being better acquainted with W. C. H. S.’s life we knew more about how to handle the average tribe of Indians, (biology and history). However, we did come up against a more fierce tribe (geometry) that nearly scalped some of us. This particular tribe was led by Big Chief Wild B 11 Bennett. Just the same we all survived anci now the Chief is our friend. About the last of May we camped again, and there we rested another summer. Again in September we began the third leg of our trip. Eight members of our gallant little band were immediately stricken by a deathly plague (advanced algebra and sol d geometry). This, and its sister disease (English III) were brought into our ranks by the “Goddess of Misery” (Ridgley). Ot'.-.er tribes of hostile Indians were also encountered (bookkeeping, civics, and economics). These were led by the Chief of Chieftains, (J. H. Dunscomb). As before our sturdy band suppressed the attacks and we now are rolling peacefully along, looking forward to the annual vacation. Most of us too, I think, are looking forward to the fourth and last leg of our hard but enjoyable journey.
