POW-WOW r Junior Class h|istory On September 1, 1939, thirty-six bashful freshmen gathered at W. C. H. S. to begin their high school education. The upper classmen gave us a hearty welcome by initiating us at an ‘‘All School Party.” Our captain was Miss Midgett and our class officers were as follows: President, Don Horn; Vice-President, Leland Davis; Secretary and Treasurer, Norma Jean Banks, and Historian, Nadene Steele. Our next expedition began in September, 1940, with thirty-eight members. Our captain this year was Miss Allen. The officers were: President, Mary Annetta Neal; Vice-President, Leland Davis; Secretary and Treasurer, Floyd Hardwick, and Historian, Elaine Bullerman. We had several class parties this year and Miss Midgett organized the Dramatics Club. Nadene Steele, Mary Annetta Neal and Norma Jear. Garrett were selected to give a short play. Several students entered the solo and ensemble contest at Mattoon. Our Biology class went to St. Louis to visit the Zoo end Park where we had a very nice time. At about the same time the previous fall we started our third year of education with thirty-six members. Mr. Stark was chosen our captain this year. On his leaving us we chose Mr. Fleming. Our President is Jim Thompson; Vice-President, Bob Storm: Secretary and Treasurer, Gloria Anderson and Historian, Norma Jean Garrett. We gave our Junior Class Play, “Bringin’ Home The Bacon,” with Miss Midgett as our director. Three of our Junior boys are on the varsity squad: Jimmie Carter, Don Horn and Donald Noffke. This spring we will entertain the seniors with the Junior and Senior Banquet. Now that our third year is almost completed, we are looking forward to our last year and the ending of our good times in ‘‘Good Old W. C. II.
