WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOL CREED I believe in the cooperation of all for the welfare of our school. To wort and to study: to be honest and generous To be willing to give as well as to talreg To besiege pettiness and self-indulgence: To have self-confidence and self-control: To realize that little things create quarrels, but in the big things of life we are one: To stand by each other in weal or woe: success or failure. To be loyal and conscientious to our school in thought, word, and deed, and to always give her our best efforts. l believe that each and everyone, in an honest endeavor to 'fulfill these virtues as students of Woodrow Wilson High School will grow to feel pride and honor in our school, that she may 'feel pride in us as a student body. -Written by Helen Seman ..

The senior is asking questions.l CLASS of'38: Who are your officers this year, Freshie7 CLASS o'F'4I: We elected Peggy Ritter president, Ray Burmeister vice-president, Rosemary Clark secretary, and Mary Jean Patton treasurer. CLASS of'38: Where have you been? CLASS of'4I: l've been over to Beckley Junior High School to invite their ninth grade to our annual Barn Dance. Next year we'll all be one class. CLASS of'38: Well, who are their officers? CLASS of'4I: Their officers are Percy Catlett president, Lydia Session vice-president, Peggy Yoak secretary, and Barbara Emmons treasurer. May I go now sir? CLASS of'38: All right, but stop this running in the auditorium. ACT TWO: Time: l939 fThe act opens near the end of lunch period. A senior and junior are standing in the hall talking.l CLASS of'39: Good grief, but the school's crowded this year! Yesterday l had to back out of Social Science Class, but we do have a swell class of sophomores. CLASS of'40: Yes, l noticed on the bulletin they elected Percy Catlett president, Edwin Higgins vice-president, Peggy Yoak secretary, and J. C. Kinzer treasurer. This is their first year together as one class. TClass of '4l enters.l CLASS of'4l: Howdy boys. You should have been at our Sophomore Colonial Ball. lt was grand. Most everybody dressed in a Colonial costume. We had a grand march, refreshments, and music by the school's jazz band. Peggy Yoak and Frank Watkins won prizes for the best costumes - and were they wows! l ! CLASS of'39: We heard you had a lot of fun. Oh! there goes the bell. we had better get to class. ACTTHREE: Time: l940 jlt is evening and the juniors and seniors have met for the annual prom.

The dance our class sponsored a while back was to help finance this prom. CLASS of '40z l see all of your officers are here.

Nv- + ' R OUR PROPHECY We racked our brains and tore our hair trying to find a way to get this class prophecy. We had just about given up all hope when the other day we were walking down the street, our heads drooping in despair, we saw a sign which read: ABDULE BEN BEN BUL SEE WHAT YOUR FUTURE HAS IN STORE FOR YOU CONSULT BUL BUL SEES NOTHING, KNOWS NOTHING TELLS ALL We had tried everything else, so why not this? We went in, paid our fee lwith money from the Echo treasury, of course.j To our amazement, the inside of his gray crystal ball started whirling around, and one by one the forms and faces of our school mates appeared as they would be twenty years from now! They appeared so quiclrly, we could not remember all of them, but here are a few that made such an impression that we just couldn't forget them: Shan Stansbury and L. A. Gates are running an escort bureau. Gene Mann is Dean ot Women at We-Strut-Um-Stuff University. It is a college of drum-majoring on the Hopi Indian Reservation to teach the pupils how to have classy war dances. L ,, Leon Neal is doing ambulance service for the You-Kill-Em, We'll-Fix-Em-Up Funeral Home. We have just heard of a strange phenomenon. Chris Dunlap now says Moo instead of Hello. Robert Ellison is undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic for insomnia. Emile Hodel has just defeated Joe Louis for the heavyweight championship ot the world. Sport writers have hinted that Joe lost because of old age. ..44- STUDENT COUNCIL HI-Y Perry Grogan is now president of the Collective Maryland, Chambers of Commerce. lGet it?j Peggy Yoak is the new number one glamor girl of the I96I Earl Carrol Review. Clarence Doss is doing a stretch in Sing Sing for talking three people to death. Buddy Martin was playing around on the piano the other day and found the Lost Chord. Joan Boray has just been awarded the I96l plaque for being Beckley's most genial citizen. This is Miss Boray's tenth consecutive year of winning this distinguished award. Tad Burnette has just written a collection of essays, The Perils of Latin. Alfred Einstein has appointed a new assistant, Grant Sisson. Mickey Moore has just given Adam LaZonga six lessons Diddie Sessions has written a theme on The Actions and Theory of the Electro Magnet, and If So Why Not? We just got a new angle on the man bites dog story. A bull slung Norvell Lilly. Brady Lipscomb finally broke a speed record. We are surprised it didn't get his neck first. Ben Carbo is in a Texas jail for being a horse thief. .lean Porter is now the toast of New York. John Franklin Watkins, Jr., is taking a cruise around the world jon a cattle boat.j Mary Mulcay has the Crispy Crunches Cuddles Hour, a children's radio program. Bill Snead is a barter for a side show. Joe Davis writes a gossip column in the new Beckley newspaper, The Info. Polly Jo McCulloch has written a sequel to For Whom the Bells Toll. lt is On Whom the Bells Told. At this point the ball clouded, jwe wondered if this could be Bill Snead's futurej but it was only that we had to cross Bul Bul with silver again. The ball cleared and the future came back into view. The next thing we saw was four of our former classmates in Hollywood. Carolyn Klaus, Cora Ann Anderson, Barbara Emmons. and Evelyn Lemon were having a not so friendly argument over which had the most oomph. As we watched, a line of trim looking girls in uniform passed by. We later learned that Margaret Huffman, Helene Tonelli, Louise Graveley, and Betty Evans are hostesses on the Piney Poakie Air Line. ...M- PUBLIC SPEAKING GIRL RESERVES 9' ffaitiwsgfl. We saw a large well-equipped laboratory that housed the mad scientist, George Via superbly assisted by the only one, Mason Word. Jimmy Beard, we learned, has spent the better part of his life in darkest Africa hunting heads of the Head Hunters. Thomas Bibb now holds the filibuster record in Congress. at the Literary Contest at Mullens when he killed eight minutes debating. We think he got his start Ann Casto is now First Vice-President in Charge of Affairs of The BALDWIN Supply Company. Joe Rodriquez is a John Powers model now. His specialty is tooth-paste advertisements. June Winner is a matron at a school for morons. One more figure has been added to the immortal Sphinx in the person of Jimmy Stony Bakalis. Willis Waterboy Zutant serves as Master of Lubrication for the All American Anemia Team of l96l. Annie Thomson has recently completed a new set of murals for the front hall at W. W. H. S. Dorothy McKinney had to kick-out with S500 bail when she was put in jail for disturbing the public. Clyde Wood is playing in a side show band, but he can't fool us - we know he can't swallow that trombone ALL the time. We thought it was 'fun to have a look into the future to see what l9bI would be like, but we think the way to see the best in everyone is to look back and remember all our friendships, heartaches, and good times at W. W. H. S. in I94I. -Margaret Mabe - 49 ,- JOURNAUSM fr ,, A - , , ORCHESTRA FAMOUS STUDENT SAYINGS Nellie Godby .,., Violet Lilly ,... Betty Withrow ,.... Wanda Gwinn. ..
