v WA-HWA-HTA-SEE PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1932 WINTER HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL Winter Haven . FOREWORD This has been a year of hard times, depression, and frequent failures. We, as Seniors, are about to depart into a world of unknown adventure; and as our forefathers overcame their difficulties and obtained freedom, so we are to become successful in our battle with life's difficulties. May this handbook of our student days recall pleasant memories, and may it instill hope for better years to come. .... DEDICATION To our underclassmen, who are our friends, our helpers, and who have been our companions this past and these past years, we dedicate this book. To you remains the task of carrying on the traditions for which Haven High has long been noted. King Depression reigns. To you we give the challenge to dethrone and slay the tyrant ruler, to seek success —and to find it! Play the game! CONTENTS 1. THE SCHOOL 2. THE CLASSES 3. ATHLETICS 4.

Miss Boltin, you successfully directed our play, Smilin' Through,” and we thank you for helping us so splendidly in this manner. Miss Walker, you are quiet and very modest, but you are a real sport. We appreciate your guidance and general aid. After we leave Winter Haven High School we shall think of you both often. We wish you great success in everything you do, be it in authorship, stenography, or in simple living. The Senior Class. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS . . . President Vice-President .

Illustrating or designing A real romance TO WASHINGTON THIS YEAR all America has celebrated the two-hundrcth anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Patriotic dinners and conventions have been held; famous statesmen have spoken in honor of the Father of Our Country. It seemed only fair that our school should honor this wonderful man in some manner, even though it be humble. Consequently, five Seniors wrote and delivered orations upon Washington in chapel. As a simple salute to our nation, w'e publish this article in Washington’s honor. Friends and fellow-citizens, this month is possibly one of the most noteworthy periods in the history of the United States. During this month we celebrate the birthday of one of America’s most colorful and most beloved characters; one who emerged from the strife and turmoil of the Revolution to lead his countrymen in the formation of a strong and secure union; one who defied the royal troops of mighty England in their futile attempt to stop his countrymen in their fight for freedom; a man who, having released his country from the vise-like grip of a selfish English king, was given the highest office in the land; a man who accepted this honor with the quiet gratitude of a lover of his people. This man, dear people, was George Washington, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” First in war.” This phrase does not mean that Washington fought for the chance to gain glory, but he fought to keep his home and his homeland free. Nor did he fight because victory was certain, but quite the contrary. He often fought against overwhelming odds. When the City of Boston was in the hands of the British, Washington exclaimed, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense and march with them, at their head, to the relief of Boston.” Not only was he a competent general in military affairs and skilled by his precept and experience in the art of war, but he also possessed an uncanny ability to diagnose every movement. This made him invaluable as a leader during the Revolution. The second Continental Congress made him Com-mander-in-Chief of the Colonial troops. As their leader, he turned an almost certain defeat into an astounding victory. First in peace.” Not only during the Revolution did Washington lead his people; but after the clouds of war had vanished, he was again placed at the head of his people. He was given the office of President. His election was unanimous, as he had no opponent. He held this office for two consecutive terms. He refused his third nomination for reasons of his own. During his stay in office he proved himself as capable a political as he was a military leader. He dominated such men as Hamilton and Jefferson, who later were party leaders. He proved himself first in peace.” First in the hearts of his countrymen.” This last phrase of Light Horse Harry” Lee’s statement has a very broad meaning. When news of Washington’s death reached Europe, the armies of Bonaparte and those of England called a truce to pay homage to a man who justly dserved such a tribute. And surely Washington is first in our hearts, for this year the entire nation will join to commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of the birthday of the Father of Our Country.” —Harry Dye. Page 29 CLASS POEM In the good old high-school building, Where each fond old desk still stays. With the ink spots on its gilding, With the scratches on its glaze; With our gum just where we left it. And our landmarks everywhere— Now our passing has bereft it; Does the good old school room care? Now we’ve left the seats we sat in, Bound to climb the ladder’s rungs; Do the English and the Latin Gossip in their mother tongues? Arc the ghosts of whispers floating With the phantasies of smiles? Are the lessons locomoting All along the empty aisles? Each, in turn, has puzzled, fretting Over Algebraic sum, With the sun outside coquetting And the water moaning Come Now a greater chain is flowing Through our midst and past our town. Calls each student to go rowing, On its surface—up or down. Glance we back with looks half yearning While our hearts more swiftly beat; There will be no more returning To that class room and that seat. Start we on with animation; There’s a song for each unsung; We shall find that distant station,— We shall climb the ladder’s rung. oJf umars Miss Elizabeth Stephenson Charles Der . Miss Mary Godwin .

T reasurer Vice-President Sponsor IN 1931-32 the Athletic Association of Winter Haven High School did truly great things. We were financed by a civic organization, and through its help. Winter Haven High School now boasts one of the best-equipped and best-lighted football fields in the state. Our own boys spent days out in the wilds.” They fought with mosquitoes, red bugs and cypress trees, while cutting poles for the electricians. Mr. Wooton and Mr. Leps, as directors, worked hard to make the season a financial success, so that by next year we will again be able to meet our obligations unassisted. To the officers and cheer leaders likewise belongs credit for a season of the greatest spirit ever exhibited in our school’s history. Next fall we are going to do things still bigger. Page 5 OFFICIALS MAY WE take this opportunity to thank Doc” Welch, Mr. MacCalla, Mr. Fuller and Mr. Smithers respectively for the unselfish service that they have rendered to Winter Fiaven Fdigh School this year. CHEER LEADERS Barbara Greene Lucille Cox Page 52 Harry Dye Roye Kirk k i : yr FOOTBALL 'T1 O LOOK at our proud Blue Devils’” score rating would not show that we had a very successful season in football. Don’t let that influence your opinion! This year we played a new' schedule in the South Florida Conference, and although we usually lost by small scores, our boys wxre the gamest, scrappiest bunch of sports in the organization. On Thanksgiving Day the boys met Lake Wales, our age-old rivals. That afternoon Osborn was in high” and Captain Mac-Calla caught one of the famous Devil passes for a 7-6 victory. Don’t forget that we had the best line in the conference, too. In fact, Charles Wirt, Bill Hampton and George Thompson won substitute places on the All-Conference team. We are proud of them all, for they are clean athletes and regular men. Receive our congratulations.

The boys could not seem to muster enough pep to win games at the beginning of their schedule; however, under the grind of daily practice with Coaches Leps and Wooton, they developed into an accurate machine that proved to be the jinx of many teams who had defeated the Devils earlier in the year. The Blue and Gold men published their first notice of real victory in the South Florida Tournament at Bartow. They eliminated Clearwater and Bartow and finished second only to Bradenton. What is more, they played wonderful ball games in the District Tournament held at Southern College. They met the Dreadnaughts of Lakeland in the finals to go down in defeat. But they won a place in the State Tournament at Gainesville. This is the first Haven team to win such honors in several years, since 23. Great credit must go to Clovis Hart, All-Conference guard. John Parker is also to be commended for his work as manager. Kissimmee II—W. H. H. S. 17 F. M. I. 21—W. H. H. s. 11 Bartow I� —W. H. H. S. 2S Lakeland 24 —W. H. H. S. 14 Arcadia 50—W. H. H.

S. 22 Page 58 Page 59 GIRLS' BASKET-BALL NCE UPON a time, many long months ago, a tall handsome blonde decided to be a coach of athletics. He was determined to be the best coach in the whole world. So he studied hard and finally graduated from the best coaching school in America. Then in order to establish a record of which to be proud, he found it necessary to coach at a place where the entire allotted time could be given to coaching and none had to be given over to character building. After a few years, he found Winter Haven, Florida, to have a squad of girls who already had these splendid characters; honesty and fair play were already established; fairness and good-sportsmanship were already there; sound, strong bodies, healthful and vigorous, guided by alert and active minds—it was only necessary to give these girls their fundamentals; to create and hold a winning spirit; this accomplished, all the honor of the game went to the girls. Page 60 GIRLS' BASKET-BALL TN 1930-31, the girls played some twenty games, winning ninety ■ per cent, of them and never being defeated on their home floor. Understand, it was the girls who played this schedule of games—not the coach, always the fine, perfect-working machine called the Girls' Basket-ball Team. Then again in 1931-32, the same smooth-working machine with practically the same players—players who were good enough for five out of six to make the All-Polk County team in '31 — players who won the first Polk County Championship—players who have won better than the ninety-eight per cent, in '32 and who even yet have never been beaten on their home floor; these girls have the long-sought and highly-praised record; one of the best records ever set; and the Winter Haven Basket-ball girls are responsible for this fine work. The tall, handsome blonde coach is duly proud of the record established. POUTER. G: VIERTEL Or. Page 62 W.h. CORE W.H. 24 W.H. 16- W.H. 20- W.H. 23- W H OT x W.H. 23 ) W.H. -30J W.H.

Consequently, Winter Haven High School Blue Devils batters arc delayed in their regular daily work-outs until the Big Leaguers have returned to their Northern home. (That is why pills” continually whirl across the campus after March fifteenth and threaten heads that refuse to duck.) Nineteen thirty-two baseball is shrouded in dense mists of mystery. Indications are that there will be a fairly large amount of material from which Coach Leps can fashion a victorious nine. Last year the boys, as usual, did not receive the support of the student body. Nevertheless, they were a snappy gang of fellows who showed great spirit and always gave their opponent a stiff fight. Don Gray was the star catcher and captain, while Harold Hoffman served as manager. We compliment the squad members for the enthusiasm they displayed in spite of adverse circumstances with which they met during the season. ’31 SCORES VT. H. 11—Frostproof 0 W. H. 4—F. M. I. 2 Vi'.

For the first time he appears in the school book, although he has been a part of the organization since the Class of ’32 entered Junior High. We commend him for the service he has given us, and wish him success in the time he shall spend in Haven High after wc arc gone. May wc present Mr. Shaw, our friend and school janitor. 'There is a man in the High, Who always makes the dust fly; Our floors he doth shine. With never a whine. And wc hope he may never die!” I • Ci ■ BEFORE we part to go our several ways in this broad world, wc must mention the places which we shall always connect with our school days, and write them where we may refer to them at least occasionally. McCutcheon’s ««re,—just across the street from Haven High—is a landmark wc shall never forget. Mr. Osborn, the man who furnishes chewing gum for all our teams,—may we thank him for that kindness now—will remain forever in our minds, as will The Palace.” We also consider Baker's, The Dinette,” The Postal Pharmacy, Doc” Welch’s and Anderson’s as places we shall always remember. (Honorable mention goes to Elbert Hills,” Poinscttia Park,” and West Winter Haven Subdivision” streets.)

The beautiful garden in which the feud between John Carteret and the Waynes was carried on bloomed realistically, thanks to the ingenious stage managers, Oliver Allen and Virginia Hulbert, and furnished a perfect setting for the play. The story of John Carteret’s undying love for Moonyeen Clare, and Kathleen, his niece’s devotion to his enemy’s son, Kenneth Wayne, was realistically enacted by an excellent cast. The most beautiful scene in the play was when Moonyeen Clare was killed by Jeremiah Wayne and died in her lover’s arms. The cast was as follows: Louise Hylton . James Sample . Norman Boyle . Arietta Moslin Katherine Ellis Beatrice Gates . Betty Runkle . Edward Stoneburc Richard Stoner Charles Bentley Gordon MacCalla . Kathleen Dungannon Kenneth Wayne . Jeremiah Wayne Ellen (OIJ) Ellen (Young) . . . Mary Clare . .

Chocolate Drops” was a truly amusing, black-faced minstrel sponsored by the Dramatic Club, and directed by Miss Pansy Carter. Birch, the notorious magician, gave a performance of astounding magical tricks. The play The Whole Town’s Talking” was produced by a New York director for the benefit of the Girl Scouts. In this comedy several of the faculty members took important roles. Great credit goes to the Juniors for their stunt night. All the other classes competed with plays, music, and faculty impersonations, each striving to outdo the other with merry-making and talent. We congratulate next year’s Seniors upon their original entertainment. Page 70 ACE HIGH” MR. JONES was a plain unvarnished American. So was his wife and family—until they became rich. Then Mrs. Jones changed father’s name, tried to marry her daughter into the English nobility, insisted on bossing everybody about the place and made everyone generally miserable. The wealth and jewels of the family attracted the attention of several crooks whom Mrs. Jones entertained unaware. Father eventually asserted himself, stood on his dignity, and straightened things out.

D. a party of researchers came upon a queer record among the ruins of a town reputed to have been Winter Haven in the one-time State of Florida. The document deals with some special event which took place among the students of an institute of higher learning called the Winter Haven High School.” The record gives an interesting glimpse of life in the Frivolous Age.” The manuscript follows: The chief social event among the upperclassmen of dear old Winter Haven High was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which took place near the end of April, 1932. The banquet hall was elaborately decorated, and the festive table sagged beneath its burden. All the lads brought their best lassies, and even the teachers’ presence did not dampen the general high spirits. Speeches were made, tears were shed by the outgoing Seniors. School spirit soared high; toasts were given to the success of Alma Mater. When at last the banquet was finished, many of the revellers continued the fun into the wee small hours of the morning with dancing. So ended an important occasion in the life of every Junior and Senior of the Winter Haven High School.” Page 71 MUSIC CLUB Q'lQ • a G 3 a fb Page 72 LATIN CLUB Page 73 ft fra VI u % T Ym RUKMCJLC rvorwirh a nr uhl THE iLRUItOS CLUI ICTTOi 9TRIVL TO APPKtClATE BOLT) -SPONSOR 0.
