POW-WOW T' Freshman Class History The first week of September 11)41, fifty green freshmen started their journey through four years of work and play at the W. C. H. S. There were only three persons who discontinued school. We regret losing them because we had the largest class of freshmen ever enrolled in this school. The first week of school was rather difficult because few of us knew when or where we had our classes. Miss Allen was in charge of our initiation. I think we rather surprised the sophomores by performing our various tasks so well. In October we held our first class meeting to select our class advisor, Miss Allen. She was chosen with a unanimous vote. Later our advisor called a meeting to elect our class officers who are: Mac Sexson, president; Evelyn Tull, Vice-President; and Bill Ramsey as Secretary and Treasurer. The freshmen class party was held November 28. Nearly all of the freshmen were present to enjoy the games prepared by Miss Allen. Hot chocolate and candy bars were served as refreshments. The basketball games were a thing of interest to most of the freshmen and a new experience to several because they had never seen a game before. The freshmen boys who made the team were: Van Anderson and Howard Vandevanter. We are very proud of them. The freshmen who represent our class in the band are as follows: Van Anderson. Betty Antrim, Fern Buckley, Dorothy Clapper, Rosalie Conley, Norma Jean Lar-rew, Ruth Maxedon, Patsy Kennedy, Betty Rankin, Mac Sexson, Mary Storm and John Yunker. We are all trying to bring our grades up a little higher and increase the number of freshmen who make the honor roll. We hope we will all be sophomores next year. —Ludwell Storm, Historian Sophomore Class History On September 8, 1940, a hearty group of twenty-five braves and twenty-one maidens met at tepee W. C. H. S. to engage in the hunt of knowledge and companionships. The guide chosen for the hunt was Arthur Johnson, who did a very good job. During the hunt two braves, Raymond Warner and Dwain Hawkins, were added to our tribe. We met many ferocious obstacles: Algebra, Science and English, but we overcame these without much difficulty. After we had conquered the troubles of the I reshmen Hunt we were ready for Hunt Sophomore. We gathered at W. C. H. S. on September 1, 1941, for our Sophomore Hunt. The guide chosen for this hunt was “Big Chief Bennett.” He did a very fine job guiding us on this trip. WCHS 1942

POW-WOW The leaders chosen by the tribe were: Gerald Shew, President; 11a Rincker, Vice-President. Virginia Kercheval, Secretary and Treasurer, and Robert Slifer, Historian. There were twenty-three braves and twenty-two maidens to start on the Hunt Sophomore. We had the misfortune of losing one brave, Richard Quigley, and two maidens, Vada Mac Tull and Thelma Shriver. We were fortunate enough, however, to get two maidens, Mae Lee Kays and Doris Schlechte, from neighboring tribes. On December 15, a “Pow-Wow” was held at our W. C. H. S. Tepee. Games were played and delicious refreshments were served. The game committee was Dorothy Calvin, Johnny Rose, and Charles Fugate. The refreshment committee was Wanda Latch, Jacque Morford, and Maurine Krile. They all did a very splendid job. —Robert Slifer, Historian SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row—Floyd Buckalew, Forest Worley, Bill Spencer, Everett Griffin, Charles Fugate, Gerald Shew, Doris Schlechte, Dallas Peadro, Mr. Bennett.
