At first the new world was enough to scare them out of their half-wits ... I mean half out of their wit . But they managed to survive the ordeal and Woodlawn High became home to 268 brand new Freshmen. Here they were allowed to have a say-so in choosing their officers, but here also they had a detention hall. Here they could go out in the stadium half of their lunch period, but here also they had only 22 minutes to cat. For every pleasure there was a drawback, but for every drawback there was a pleasure. And time marched on. The first year brought confusion, worries and fun. Much hard work and time were consumed in working out problems that would have an effect on high school career . For instance, it required a considerable amount of time to learn the shortest ways to the lunch room from both 102 and 201, how to dispose of chewing gum in a hurry, and where in creation the Taller box was. But there was fun to go along with it. In the spring there was “W”-Day, and not only did the Freshmen have the lovliest queen but they won the yelling contest, too. It was a proud day in the lives of the 268. And then, of course, there was football; and, through the good influence of these new students and considerable effort on the part of the team, Woodlawn walked off with the championship. And time stumbled on. Naturally, the second year brought its problems. Among them were plane geometry, dates, Gareth and Lynette, dates, ancient history, dates, and blonde date . The Sophomores spent a great deal of time learning just exactly how many people would fit between each row of lockers during an air raid drill and a great deal more learning bow many folk would fit in a coupe when Pop let them have the car. The foorball team didn’t do so badh that year either, and Woodlawn kept her place on top. And time crawled on. The third year brought Mr. Martin and green paint. Mixed with the sorrow of losing Mr. Hendrix was the glad feeling of being lucky enough to get a man as swell as Mr. Martin to take his place. And mixed in with the lovely smell of the newly painted walls were the distinctive, unforgettable odors of burning sulphur in the chemistry labs and cabbage in the lunch room. Once again we came out football champs. By this time, however, lots of our men folks bad left us; for the call of Uncle Sam was one that could not be denied. So we crawled into the home stretch. The fourth year brought homework, school-work, and creamed onions. Aviation students developed a rare interest in the weather; art Modem suddenly became interested in their an; music students suddenly began to sing a little louder and journalism students woke up. Soon they would be leaving Woodlawn and the thought that the poor kid remaining behind would never again enjoy the pleasure of their combined company left a sad feeling in their hearts that could only be covered with work. The idea that unless they did get busy they wouldn’t graduate never entered their heads. And so the Seniors worked away. “To be or nor to he became mixed with the “main nopulation changed in the U. S. since the Civil War”. Then bibliographies and graduation hooks turned up everywhere and the job was done. The Senior were ready to graduate. Time curled up and went to sleep.
