★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Junior Class History On September 8, 19 0, a strong and courageous group of forty-six youths took the oath of higher learning and were inducted as Buck Privates at Fort W. C. H. S. The Top Sergeant chosen to guide these soldiers of education was Mr. Arthur Johnson, who proved to be very capable. His helpers were Jacque Morford, Bill Spencer, Mary Hennigh and Dorothy Calvin. During this first year at Fort W. C. H. S. three Privates, Harold and Gerald Harden and Helen Jeffers were lost. Raymond Warner, Sybil Reed and Dwayne Hawkins joined our ranks. On the drill field these soldiers met such obstacles as science and algebra, but they were soon overcome. The last of May all the Privates were promoted to the rank of Corporal, and were given a three months’ furlough because they had worked and drilled diligently. Early in September, forty-five of the Corporals returned to Fort W. C. H. S. This fall the Corporals took long hikes over such rough roads as English and geometry. Richard Quigley, Vada Mae Tull and Thelma Shriver left our training camp, while Mae Lee Kays, Doris Schlechte and Margie Erwin entered our camp. The Top Sergeant chosen for this year was the helpful and understanding Mr. Bennett. His helpers were Gerald Shew, 11a Rinker, Virginia Kercheval and Robert Slifer. About the first week in September in the year of 1942, these Corporals were promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Several of the group were A. W. O. L. The first Top Sergeant chosen was Mr. Fleming, who much to our regrets left us early in January. Miss Kuhn was unanimously chosen to fill his place. The willing helpers this year were Margie Erwin, 11a Rincker, Maurine Kiile and Gerald Shew. These Sergeants encountered such obstacles as chemistry and bookkeeping, but with the willing aid of the General and the Captains of the faculty they pulled through. This was another successful year at Fort W. C. H. S. —Gerald Shew, Historian Sophomore Ship’s Logue Fifty of us began our basic training as Seaman 3rd class in 1941. During tne year two of our Company left us, Thelma Moore and Helen Griffin. Then in the rummer Howard Vandeventer was the first of us to go into actual training at Great Lakes. Therefore, we shall pretend to join him as Seaman 1st class and WAVES and turn cur school into the good ship W. C. H.S. For our chief Warrant Officers of the year, we chose Miss Betty Markel and she has proved to be exceptionally well-liked. To assist her in managing our affairs we chose as our officers: Admiral, Russell Roellig; Vice Admiral, Ludwell Storm; Yeoman, Rosalie Conley; Ship’s Correspondent, Befty Wallace. The WAVES in our division were sorry to lose Betta M. Dougias to the .Mattoon Base for a while, but in a short time she returned, so all is well again. Others also have been transferred at intervals during the year. Louise Rankin was giver, an honorable discharge to her home. Clarence Williams was moved to Decatur Base in Co. B and Van Anderson to the Sullivan Base in Co. A. We have missed Van’s name on our Honor Roll and his participation in the service band and basketball. In October 1942, we had our semi-annual ship party. A scavenger hunt was carried through even though “one dog’s hair, and a fish worm” were on the list. Afterwards the canteen served popcorn and “rum and cake,” (minus the rum). We are usually well represented on the Honor Roll and most of us are confident that we shall soon receive our next rating. Likewise our Service Band contains at least ten sailors and WAVES. We have taken the bumps and pleasures for two years now and wc look forward to two more years of good sailing! —Betty Wallace, Ship’s Correspondent W C H S 19 4 3 Nineteen

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Freshmen Class History On the first of September 1942, thirty-three 3rd Class Petty Officers set sail upon the Ship W. C. H. S. We were duly initiated a week or so later by performing various stunts to shov. the rest of the crew that we could become good seamen. We chose as our Commander, Miss Aschermann, to keep us on an even keel throughout the voyage. We elected as Ensigns, Junior Bunyard, Ruth Gaddis. Betty Nolan, and Raymond Carnine. Sailing was ouite smooth, with the exception of a few small gales encountered in Algebra and English. At the middle of the year, we thought we were torpedoed and were about to sink but with the help of our Lieutenants we go back on our course again. A new sailor, Mary Rose Hurley, joined our crew and raised our number to thirty-four. Our basketball team has played several games, in w’hich we won more battles than were lost. In time we hope to be promoted to 2nd Class Petty Officers and to continue our smooth sailing to the end of the course. , —Raymond Carnine, Historian JUNIOR CLASS First Row (left to right)—Dallas Peadro, Doris Schlechte, Forest Worley, Maurine Krile (Sec.-Treas.), Marjorie Erwin (Pres.), Gerald Shew, Bill Spencer, Miss Kuhn (Advisor), Charles Fugate (Vice Pres.—not in picture).
