In the Freshman volume our goal, the big star of graduation was considered as far, far away; but there were many small stars in our crown. With Max as our leader and Sue, Eleanor and Bud assisting him, we led the school in the stadium drive and founded the Freshman clubs. Roger, J. H., Jack, and Warren began their careers in sports. Jean Clark and Joe Long received the American Legion Award. Sandra, Ruth, Harriet, Jeanette, Gene, Johnny G., Bud, and Eric were pages at the Jr.-Sr. Banquet Circus. The fad of the year was a new type of shoes called slides.'’ In Sophomore Volume there arc many more rhymes to remember. My dear Aunt Sally” proved to be the keynote to success in Algebra. Fall describes the first Fall Frolics with John Brantley as King. Sandra, Kay and Chrissy started cheering for the various sports seasons. WHHS won the S. F. C. Baseball tournament for the first time in many years with J. H. and Roger giving the team a helping hand. This year the Band made its first trip to the Orange Bowl, and Olga and Thomas were chosen as the Most Outstanding Band Students. The volume ends as Bud and Clayton won out in the elections for positions in the Junior Volume, Student Council Blond hair was the rage of this year. After resting our weary brains for three months, we opened the Junior Volume with plenty of pep and ideas. The rains flooded our football field so it was then named Lake Dennison. Joe, Dwight, Jeanne and Ruth were to direct us through the episodes of the year. Eleanor joined the squad of cheerleaders. While many of us struggled hours on the concessions trying to get rich, J. H., Roger, L. P., Charles, and Bobbys helped the football team win their victories. The Jr. Play— Brother Goose —brought fame and fortune to our name. The Band strutted out in new uniforms and made everyone proud of them at the State Band Contest. The Jr.-Sr. Banquet committee headed by Judy gave the Seniors a bang-up time (even if it did rain!) with the theme 49’ers. Dwight and Betty Jean were chosen to Senior Volume, Student Council, and Sandra was to edit our annual. Again WHHS were the victors of the S. F. C. Baseball tournament. The well-remembered fads for the year were yo-yo's and the boys' Toni's. Our Senior Volume opened before WHHS knew what happened. In the chapter, Football, Clearwater spoilca the end of the football tale. Helen Baxley became one of the cheer leading group captained by Kay and Chrissy. Olga and Roger reigned over Homecoming. The Seniors' lights shone bright: Hazel-Science; Fayc-Poetry; Judy-Specch. Because of a hasty wind called hurricane we didn’t get much use out of our auditorium until late in the Spring. This collection of stories that you have in your hand will long be remembered for the oustanding art work done by Gene. The fad of this wonderful year was the knitting of argyles for the light of each girl's eye. In late Spring we topped off the year with our great Senior play and the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. At long last we reach our star graduation and are entitled to enter the great volume, Life, and make our own rhymes. OFFICERS President .....

Student Council. Student Council is a good king with high aims. He tends to maintain closer cooperation with the student body; to promote better leadership, scholarship, character and service; to bring about a more complete unity of the faculty and student body; to inspire patriotism and a deeper sense of loyalty to the school. Among the responsibilities taken by this king are scheduling events in the school calendar, chartering school clubs, conducting school drives, preparing an activities scrapbook, conducting school elections, and many others. Thirty days hath September.. IdcikS Jr- . CLUB COUNCIL Once upon a time a tiny stranger was seen toddling through the halls of W.H.H.S. When asked what he represented, the tot replied, I am brand-new, and my name is Club Council. Now, not thinking anything about the strangeness of the name, we asked, Club, what do you do, and where do you come from? In knowing tones he said, I come from a branch of the Student Council. My members consist of all club and class presidents. Well, we said, that's a lot for a little fellow like you.” Oh, I may be small, but I promote interest in clubs and help them with any difficulties. From the work I've done so far, I know that by the time I'm grown up I'll be a real he-man. We believe it! © c Sitting: Hazel Bryant, James Pearce, Mary Mac Wimberley, Ruth Recker, Bud Brakmann, Sandra Chance, Ellen Hanna, Michael Giametta.

SPANISH CLUB m A festive air is added to the Spanish Club initiations when the new members break the traditional PINATA, a jar filled with candy and fruit, thereby acting out an age-old Mexican custom observed on birthdays and anniversaries. This initiation comes at the beginning of the year, when second-year Spanish students and first-year students with high grades may join. A yearly trip to one of Tampa's Spanish restaurants gives extra enjoyment to the members, who are interested in the Spanish language and in countries which speak Spanish. But all is not play, and the story continues. The members this year sold Tuberculosis bangles and seals and also engaged in a project for the year.

Once upon a time there were twenty-five girls learning the tricks which would enable them to become good wives and homemakers. These girls were also particularly interested in making the Home Ec. dining room as attractive as possible. For three years they have been buying furnishings and decorations with money earned through the sale of candy and Christmas cards. All girls interested in homemaking are invited to join this club.

This would be possible, for the 4-H Club is interested in agriculture and the care and raising Of animals. The 4-H Club has expanded this year, and it now takes part in shows in several counties and in the Florida State Fair. At the end of the year their projects are judged, and the boys whose work is considered best may take a short course at the University of Florida or go to various 4-H camps in our state.

Cinderella's coach pulled up in front of our school and out jumped twenty-seven lovely princesses. We were so amazed that we asked how so many girls could look so neat. We were told they had been learning to improve their social graces. We thought this sounded interesting. At what school did you get this wonderful training?” “Winter Haven High,” they replied in unison. We're in the Jr. Sub-Deb Club. Incidentally, they told us later they were striving to improve the facilities for the girls. OFFICERS President ................... Marie Jones Vice-President .............

Thus began the eleventh year of the Key Club of the Winter Haven High School. During the year the Key Club served the school in many ways. They maintained the Coke machine, furnished trash cans for the campus and the lower halls, presented the annual Career Week program, and arranged for buses to carry students to out-of-town football games. They sold booster tags for athletic events, and helped their sponsor, the Winter Haven Kiwanis Club, in its various ticket sales. Table at left: E. Westphal, D. Kingham, D. Boatwright, J. E. Glass.

Membership in this group is a coveted honor both for the prestige of music accomplishment and for the opportunities offered for concert, parade, and travel. This year's ventures included a four day stay in Miami as guests of the Orange Bowl Pageant, where the band marched in the giant King Orange Parade and attended the Orange Bowl football classic. Additional activities were participation in the Gasparilla parade in Tampa at the State Fair and in the Citrus Exposition parade in Winter Haven; performances at the football halftime shows; concerts in the school and for the community; programs for local civic clubs; and participation in district and state contests held in St. Petersburg and Miami. The Winter Haven Junior Band numbers seventy players whose experience has not yet qualified them for the concert band. They participate with the concert band in football shows and parades; they marched with the Senior group in the Gasparilla parade and formed an individual unit in the Orange Festival parade. The crowning event of the year was their invitation to participate in the half-time activities at the Cigar Bowl on New Year's Day. Under the new ruling that permits second bands to enter the district contests, the Junior Band has also competed at the District contest in St. Petersburg. Besides the Junior and Concert Bands, there are two beginner classes and a third band of forty members, giving a total of 2J5 young people enrolled in the total Winter Haven band program.

It has a marching unit of twenty-four who perform in all parades and at most football games. Their leader is Olga Smith, who has won three first divisions in state and district competition and who was one of three Florida girls awarded a trip last year to the national twirling contest in Chicago. The corps is unique in that every member is also a playing member of the band. Their special dance routines worked up for parade uses brought them high praise in Miami and Tampa and in other parade performances. Old K ng Cole u as a merry old soul.

However the usual student interest and spirit again made it perhaps the largest chorus of any school of this size in the state. Some 240 senior high students came out to participate in the activities of the club. Due to the late start the students decided to forego the district contests in favor of doing concerts for the school and community. This year’s senior class numbers many of the students who were at the beginning organization some four years ago. Gene Thompson, our excellent accompanist, and Evelyn Gordon, our golden voiced soloist, will be graduated this year along with many who have been mainstays in the chorus since it was started. These will be hard to replace in the chorus but their work will serve as a guide and inspiration to those who follow. Many graduates of the past glee clubs have gone into college choruses with notable success. Some members of this year s senior class will probably do likewise.

On the basis of rhythm, grace, ability, poise, and looks, these twelve girls were chosen from the Sophomore. Junior, and Senior classes. After electing Kay DeHaven, Captain, and Chrissy Gray, Co-captain, the cheerleaders began practising hard, revising old yells and adding many new ones. Besides cheering at every football and basketball game, the girls led pep meetings every Friday afternoon in front of the school. They also marched in several parades, including the Gasparilla parade in Tampa. The cheerleaders have done an excellent job this year in keeping up the morale of the school and they certainly showed their spirit at each game, whether sloshing in the rain or shivering in the cold at a football game or sweltering in the heat of the armory at a basketball game! The girls feel that they have accomplished more this past year than ever before and they deserve a great deal of credit for this.

Full of high spirit for the first game the underrated Devils splashed to a 26-0 victory over Punta Gorda in the rain. Hard practice sessions, wet weather a few breaks and some good hard football gave the boys a second win over Tarpon Springs 12-6. The snappy Bulldogs from Arcadia took a close one 7-6, the only team thus far not favored over the Devils. Haines City seemed to have the old punch on Oct. 28th and had no mercy as they took us 26-6 on our off night. We caught Sarasota on the rebound and trounced the mighty Sailor eleven to the tune of 20-0 and earned the name Little Giant Killers.” The huge Planters from Plant City put quite a scare into the Devils but we came out on top 6-0 after a hard fought game. Homecoming was no disappointment as we completely outclassed Lake Wales 24-6. We beat Manatee in a much closer game than the score indicated, 20-6, on the windy night of Nov. 18. Bartow just didn't have it Nov. 24 so we licked our rivals 18-6. Our best game was a heartbreaker, Clearwater's undefeated and unscored upon Crimson Tornadoes lucked out on us 18-12 to win the S. F. C. We were the first team to score on the Tornadoes.
