★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Senior Class History On September 1, 1939, thirty-six new recruits reported for duty aboard the u. S. S. Freshman which was firmly anchored at W. C. H. S. The recruits were to receive their “boot” training and were ready to earn their advancements. Miss Midge-tt served as Captain, with Don Horn, Norma Jean Banks, Leland Davis, and Nadene Steele as commissioned officers. The recruits worked hard for nine months and were then granted a three months leave. In September, 1940 the recruits returned to W. C. H. S. and were transferred to the U. S. S. Sophomore. Jim Thompson joined our ranks during the year. Miss Allen served as Captain on the Sophomore, with the aid of Mary Annetta Neal, Leland Davis, Floyd Hardwick, and Elaine Bullerman. The following fall thirty-six “gobs” boarded the “Junior” with Captain Paul Mark in charge. Captain Stark was soon transferred and Mr. Fleming received com • mand. The commissioned officers were Jim Thompson, Bob Storm, Gloria Anderson, and Norma Jean Garrett. A group was chosen to give a play, “Bringin’ Home the Bacon,” which boosted the morale aboard ship.
