HI THHY The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Freshman class that day. we knew there'd be four years of work, we hoped there'd be some play. The faces that were so strange then, are quite familiar now. We took one look around and vowed we'd get along somehow. As kindergarteners brave, we started 13 years ago. Our parents and our teachers hoped eventually we'd grow Into gentlemen and ladies, and with each passing day, Came desire for higher learning which helped along the way. Some of our classmates left usg only 18 still push on. But others have come to fill in for the ones who have gone. And so all 93 of us entered in the old game. They all called us Green Freshmen, but since then we've risen to fame with 16 boys in football, lh girls and boys in band. Ten boys were out for basketball to lend a helping hand. Seven girls played B-Squad ball, one girl we congratulate, For she played with the A-Squad the first year they went to State. There were 28 in chorus who raised their voices in song. They showed the upper classmen they knew how to get along. We also had 2 students in Pep Club our Freshmen year. They did their part right with the rest, when the time came to cheer. But let's not forget the others who helped to see us through, Who studied hard to master English and algebra too. For they will be immortal in the chain of memoryg They centered all their interests more academically. The next year we were Sophomoresg we were no longer green. I do believe we were the gentlest class this school has ever seen. We never slammed our locker doors or talked while in the hall. The teachers thought us angels. Well, weren't we, after all?? Now on the B-Squad football team, we had ll boys. Four students took part in Pep Club to help create the noise. And then, of course, the A-Squad boys, there were 5 from our class. These boys worked hard to be able to run, and kick, and pass. Again we had a winning A-Squad girls basketball team. Out of our class were 5 girls with the stamina and steam. Seven boys played on the B-Squad, the B-Squad girls were three. One boy made the A-Squad with his great sports ability. Thirteen received awards in bandg in chorus 22 took part. Then, don't pass by the cheerleaders who worked with all their hearts The twirling field was not at all exempt from some of us, For we had 2 girls show the school they had twirling genius.

Dramatics is another field in which we helped the school. Three students in our class proved that they were nobody's fool. On through the year we strived todocmm very best and pass. So each of us could carry on with the same grand old class. Our Junior year soon came aroundg we took it in our stride. We swore we'd try to do our best, by all rules we'd abide. One more girl took the title of cheerleader in our midst. Together with the other threevve had four on our list. In football, basketball, and track 31 took up the stand. Seventeen took part in chorus, 15 played in the band. We now were upper classmeng we had the world by the tail. . Just think, next year we'll be seniorsg that is if we all don't fail Our Junior class play came at lastg it was a great success. The auditorium was full of fans both nights, I guess. Our Junior-Senior Prom that year was quite a great event. We all agreed this was indeed the best year we had spent. The fall of '52 was here, so long we'd waited for this. We found it hard to settle down, for we were in such bliss. Twenty-two took part in sports on the A-Squad and on the B. Our homecoming exercises were quite some sights to see. Shirley Davis was our queeng Bob Kuhns presented the crown. The pantomime presented left not a solitary frown. The chorus gave a wonderful program at Christmas time. Fourteen seniors raised their voices in harmony and rhyme. Fourteen again played in the band, to them we give our praise. In concerts, dance band, and contests they've helped in many ways. Robert Mbore's attendance for four years was perfectly kept. He was never gonexwhen ill, nor late when he overslept. Our high school.days will.soon be o'er, we'll leave with deep regret We'll ne'er forget our teachers and the friends that we have met. We know we'll find it hard to leave, we think of it and sigh. The time has come for us to go. Dear W. H. S., goodbye! SPONSORED BY WELTY STANDARD SIIVICE STATION
