Our superintendent being j. S. johnson, A. L. Loeser, principal, Carl Harmeyer, assistant principal and Miss Jessie Powell, Music, Art and Domestic Science instructor. Ernest Wilder and Estelle Bristow were elected officers of our class. Our work this year was somewhat harder than the year before, but we took new courage and worked harder in order to be able to enter the junior class the following year. During the first semester of this year we lost one of our classmates, Zora McGraw, who quit school. Mr. johnson, our Caesar teacher, being very kind and sympathetic, made our work somewhat easier for us. This year two of our members, Ernest Wilder and Paul Gladish, played on the basketball team which won eleven games out of fifteen. At the close of school, a reception was given in honor of the team. Two of our members, Estelle Minnis and Paul Gladish, were given the honor of taking part in the H. S. Play, Claim Allowed. Our school this year was filled with patriotism. Our class was always among the first of the school to respond to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Lib- erty Loan drives. Although we were called Silly Sophies by the higher classes, we finished this term feeling we had accomplished much. v . WHEN W'E WERE SOPHOMORES is

l92O CHAMPION l920 Ztliatnrg nf Gllztaa nf 19211 K' By ,Paul Curtis Four years ago a very large class of timid boys and girls started upon a long journey that led them over a strange and unknown road-a road that takes its toll from the travelers as they pass from year to year. From this number of Freshies has emerged one of the best Senior classes of the W. H. S. lt was very green, but a very ambitious class. We entered High School with the motto: Do Your Best. The members were: Guy Dedman, Charles Cooper, Georgia Fettinger. Esther Robling, Floyd Biggs, Walter jones, Estelle Bristow, Paul Curtis, Zora McGraw, Charles Ashby, Estelle Minnis and Owen Bottoms, graduates of the Winslow common schools. joe Board, of Ayrshire: Paul Gladish, of Burch, Ernest and Estelle Wilder, of Boonville: Rufo and Luther Henager, of Wilder, and Berna Thompson of Harri- son school. The Faculty was composed of the following: L. H. Risley, superintendent, E. W. jerrell, principal, A. L. Loeser, assistant principal and Miss jessie Powell, supervisor of Music, Art and Domestic Science. Our class soon organized and elected joe Board, President, Estelle Wilder, Secretary and Treasurer and Chas. Cooper as Class Reporter. Mr. Risley, our Latin teacher, being strict, made us green Freshies put in most of our time studying Latin. We, as all beginners, were treated and looked down upon as green Freshies by the upper classes. We were represented in the play, The Deacon, given by the High School, by three of our members: Chas. Cooper, Estelle Bristow and joe Board, in which they showed their ability as actors. During this year, to our sorrow, we lost three of our members, Guy Ded- man, Charles Cooper and Esther Robling, all quitting school for other pursuits in life. We finished this year with a knowledge that we had done our best and look- ing forward to the time when we should become the Seniors of W. H. S.

1920 CHAMPION 1920 iiiatnrg nf Qllttaa nf 19211-Glnntinurh Now we entered as jolly juniors, with a feeling that we would soon be the leaders of our school. The faculty was the same as the year before, with the exception of C. G. Pierson as assistant principal, and Miss Delia Pirkle, Music, Art and Domestic Science. Miss Pirkle resigned the latter part of the second semester and was suc- ceeded by Miss jessie Powell. Our class lost six of its former members, Estelle Bristow entering school at Monticello and Paul Gladish, Luther Henager, Charles Ashby and Margaret Noble quitting school life, and Owen Bottoms, who died during the summer, thus leaving the class with six of its former members, Ernest Wilder, Floyd Biggs, Paul Curtis, Rufo Henager, Estelle Wilder and Estelle Minnis. We gained two new ones, Maurice Evans, a former student of the W. H. S. and Aura Con- diff, of Otwell. The officers of our class were Ernest Wilder, president, and Maurice Evans, secretary-treasurer. We were represented in Athletics this year by three of our members who played on the basketball team which won eleven straights. Our school work this year being greatly hindered on the account of the Influenza, the school failed to have a Play. We, as the junior class, bade the departing Seniors farewell by giving a ban- quet in their honor. WHEN WE WERE jUNlORS Now we have entered our Senior year, which once seemed our highest am- bitions, but our ambitions have now gone higher. This year brings our High School career to a close and gives each of us a chance to set our goal still higher. Blessed Is He That Endureth Temptation 14
