★ f f f f f POW WOW f f f f f Junior Class History On September 3, 1938, a group of fifty shy and embarrassed boys and girls gathered at W. C. H. S. for four years of training aboard the education “clippers.” The first one we encountered was the clipper Freshman. We took off with Miss Ridgley in charge, Gene Glasscock as pilot, Isaac Walden co-pilot, Irene Ashbrook recorder, Howard Hamilton finances, and Mary Maxine Bence ir charge of past and present happnings. About a week after we started the other clippers joined us and gave us a party, in which we all had to tell a mother-goose rhyme or imitate some comic character. Also we had two parties and a wiener roast. One of the parties was a kid party in which we all dressed like “little kids.” As we were not used to the ways of the clippers there were several bumps and rough spots which bothered us, but we soon overcame them and wound up a success. Again the next year the same group, minus a few, came back for the second lap of the journey. This time we traveled aboard the “sophomore.” Mr. Turner was in charge with Jr. Etheridge as pilot, Emma J. Elliott, co-pilot, Pauline Edwards, in charge of reports and finances, and Lois Bartley in charge of past and present happenings. The subjects we encountered this time such as English and Geometry seemed like mountains in accordance with the first year, but with considerable effort we managed to conquer them. We were very happy and proud to have a delegate of our class, Mary Maxine Bence, elected school queen of 1940. We were also proud of our representation of the band, which included 19 members. On September 1941, we returned to complete the third lap of the four, aboard the clipper “Junior.” “Wild Bill” Bennett was overseer with Lois Bartley pilot, Irene Ashbrook co-pilot, and Gene Glasscock in charge of reports and finances. This year several students from our class entered the district solo and ensemble contest held at Matttoon. We were very sorry to lose one of our classmates and vice president, Irene Ashbrook, this spring. She moved to Stewardson. Now, the third lap of the journey almost completed, we are looking forward to to next year and to what it will bring us. —Eileen Kercheval, Historian EVERYBODY’S GETTING MARRIED Reginald D’Arcy, a quiet young man, has just received a notice that his wealthy aunt Agatha D’Arcy has just passed away leaving to him one million dollars if he full-fills the terms of her will. The will states that he must find husbands within 30 days for her six women who were the members of her matrimonial agency and remained unmarried during this time. Very much in despair he calls in his friend Dean Garrett a business genius, to help him find husbands for the women. Meanwhile his fiancee, Viola Compton, says that if he carries the plan out she will never marry him. After searching every poolhall in town he succeeds in finding three men who are willing to get married. And by much talking he persuades James, Reginold's valet, to marry another of the women. This leaves two more to go so he tricks Mr. Gordon, a Philadelphia lawyer, who is looking after the estate, into marrying one of the women and finally in the end marrying one of them himself. This satisfies all of the conditions ★ f f f f f WCHS 1941 ff ff W f W ★ —17—
