:POW WOW: SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 1938, a group of fifty green and shy pupils gathered at W. C. H.S. to begin their high school education. We had more pupils than any other class. We recovered from our shyness when we were initiated by the upper classmen. A few weeks after that we had a kid party at which we represented Mother Goose or some other comic character. W'th the help of Miss Ridgley, our class advisor, we got through our first year of study successfully. At the beginning of this year, forty-six pupils came to W. C. H. S. to start in their sophomore year. Several pupils had moved away during vacation and others had come to join us. We are still the largest class n school and we also h.ave more pupils in the band than any other class. We were very proud to have our candidate, Mary Maxine Bence, elected queen of W. C. H. S. for 1940. On October 20, 1939, the sophomore class had a wiener roast at Gene Glasscock's grandparents' at which every one had a n;ce t;me. We had a party at the school building on Friday night, April 5, 1940. Our officers are: President .................................. Junior Ethridge Vice President .............................. Emma J. Elliott Secretary and Treasurer ................... Pauline Edwkrds Historian ............................... Lois Jean Bartley Class Advisor ................................. Mr. Turner FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY On Septemberl, 1939, a group of young people gathered at the W. C. H. .S building for the purpose of forming a company to start on an expedition into the jungle of education. These youngsters had been eight years at various grade stations preparing for this trip. Most of them came from W G. S. or near by stat;ons. Some had come quite a distance. These were Warren Specht from Lakewood, Floyd Hardwick from Indiana, Duncan Ruble from Nebraska, and later Helen Green from Tennessee. There vere thirty-six altogether. After electing Miss Midgett Captain, Don Horn, Lieutenant, Norma J. Banks, Secretary and Treasurer, and Leland Davis, Assistant Lieutenant, we were ready to start. Although many feet had traveled these same paths, all were new to us. Nevertheless we were anxious to start. We all feared, more or less, the things ahead of us, but we had a helpful body of instructors to lend a hand when needed. We had gone but a short way when we were called to halt by the companies, who had started one, two, or three years ahead of us. They wished to test our abilities before accepting us on such a great expedition. We proved to be capable and were accepted. Daily we came in contact with such obstacles as text books and tests, which we overcame. Our greatest struggle was just after the Christmas Holidays when we came face to face with semester examinations. However, with assistance from our excellent instructors we conquered and marched gayly on. After a few weeks we were joined by Tommy Curry from Gays and Dale Tull from Green Valley. Before we had gone far in the second semester, Billy Tilford and Novie Waddell were forced to drop from our ranks because of moving to other fields. They were sadly missed. When we started it seemed an endless journey. Although several months have passed and we near the end of our first milestone, it seems that we have been on the ioad only a short time. We have enjoyed most of our adventures. We shall always remember our Freshmen year in W. C. H. S. as one of our happiest memories. Class Historian, Nadine Steele. WCHS 1940= Twenty-one
