W. H. S. The Champion 1924 CLASS HISTORY-C Continued! Mr. U. S. Abbott, superintendent, Miss Anna E. Falls, principal 5 Mr. H. H. Sake! Cwho has been with us three yearsj , assistant principal, and Mr. Clar- ence Buechele, mathematics, and Miss Ruth Whitten, instructor of music and art. After looking ourselves over we found We had lost three members that we had in our third year. These members 'were Elizabeth Kidwell, who is now working in a store in Evansville, Adabyrl Pepple returned to Ohio, from whence she had come, and Ellen Tyner, who had quit school. But to make up for our loss, we gained two gay and jolly boys from Spurgeon, Henry Couts and Wrex Burns. Mr. Abbott took charge of our history, Mr. Sakel, our commercial geography and bookkeeping, and Miss Falls of our English. We found our teachers all excellent instructors and good sports. Our class did not fall behind in athletics. We were represented on the baseball team by Garth Richardson, John Wood, Charles Hurst and Bryan Reed, as regular players, and John Bonenberger and Byron Wood, as subs. On the basketball team we were represented by Garth Richardson, regular center, John Wood, regular forward, and Henry Couts, who played regular back guard the last half of the season. Byron Wood played sub center throughout the year. As for Spring Athletics, our class was sure to be represented. On the girls' basketball team we were represented by Lorraine Reiners and Hazel Benedict. In the Dramatic Club we were not behind. We presented the comedy, Kicked Out of College, at the Star Theatre, March 24th and 27th. All of our class was represented in this. As we are finishing high school this spring we will express our thanks to this and the three previous years' faculty. Doing this we bid W. H. S. adieu. BIRDS OF SPRING Birds of Spring, oh hear them warble Heralcls of a prince so noble. In the meadows cool, inviting, By the rippling waters hiding, Singing sweet, and ceasing never, Of the prince of fairest weather. In the tree tops, by the mountain, BV the clear and sparkling fountain, Still they cry, The prince is coming! Nature is awake and humming. Welcome! Welcome! Welcome Spring! Joy and glaclness it will bring! MILDRED POEHLEIN. 22

We found an almost entirely new high school faculty, 21

1921, The champion W. H. S. A TRIBUTE T0 MY CLASS Slowly, surely, spring draws near With breezes soft, perfume inlaid, And 'ere it comes my fond adieus To friend and teacher must be paid. Faithful my class has been to me, Stood by me in every trial. A tribute I'm sure I owe to them And so I make this avowal. That before my pen has ceased from work, Before my school is ended, To each and every member here A tribute shall be tended. A critic, Lyden, I see in you, But a well learned critic I admit 'tis true. For debating Henry is one I would dare With any other debater compare. Diamond, what does thy name signify? A Jewel precious to a loved one's eye. For fabulous tales, O, Thaddeus, 'tis true The fame will undoubtedly fall to you. For a short and plump, good-natured friend You'll find Louise the best in the end. A basketball star the school will lose When Garth gives it his last adieus. Joking, laughing, scolding Marie Is the bookkeeping belle, 'tis plain to see. O John, thou sleeper, I bid thee awake And cease your dreams 'ere 'tis too late. Joyce, my dear, you'll always be A good and true kind friend to me. Mildred, or rather, Mid, I should say, Is always ready to smile gloom away. Bryan, taciturn and quiet- ' I'll wager he studies home at night. Tie, your wistful eyes of brown They seem to speak of world renown. Charles, Charles, you little man, You stay as quiet as you possibly can. Lucille, named the star of the class, I have no wish to dispute it, my lass. Wrex I am sure is the ladies' man, You can never see him without one at hand. For a girl who is industrious and jovial I beg to present our blue-eyed Hazel. Our class comedian Elmer plays, He's brimming over with jokes and lays. And I know Lorraine is really not shy, She on? pretends so when teachers are mg . I think Byron came from the Golden West Where bronchos are broke with fun and jest. Writha, virtuous and youthful too Is another student of the faithful few. There's Waldo who of course you know Is an enthusiastic fan of the radio. .. l 1 I ' Orval, you would not think so, but say- 1-le's the brilliant star of the Senior play. 'l'o myself there need no tribute be For I am just palin little me. To designate you, John, from another h I'll call you a jolly good Bonenberger. E MILDRED POEIILHN. THINGS OF IMPORTANCE Red's Tie .
