Q 69 CLASS HISTCRY CHAPTER I - NINTH GRADE Four years ago part of the present Senior Class entered the portals of Wood- row Wilson High School. It was a large place for a group so green and inexper- ienced and it toolr us two or three days to find our classrooms. After we had settled down to the routine, we elected our class officers: Patty Thurman, President: David Hoplrins, Vice-President: Joyce Nicely, Secretary: and Mildred Aldridge, Treasurer. By this time we were entering into the spirit of high school activities and fast becoming a part of the school. Miss Juanita Sterne, who was appointed progressive class sponsor, got off to a good start with the Freshman Barn Dance. This dance was the high light of the Freshman activity in the school. CHAPTER II - TENTH GRADE ln our sophomore year, the two tenth grades united at Woodrow Wilson. Some of us were new to senior high school and it toolr time for us to get adjusted to the new surroundings. Soon our class officers were elected. They were: Jack Bazzarre, President, Arlen Phipps, Vice-President, Mildred Aldridge, Secretary: and Joyce Nicely, Treasurer. Our class held an informal party instead of the usual Colonial Ball. This party was a great success. During the year, we held several class meetings where everybody became acquainted. While we ended the second chapter of our high school life, we were anxiously awaiting the coming Junior year. CHAPTER III - ELEVENTH GRADE After struggling through our Sophomore year, we finally began to call each other Juniors, and were proud of the fact that we'had reached this milestone in our high school careers. Miss Sterne, class sponsor, together with the class officers, who were: Harold Riffe, President: Eileen Harper, Vice-President: Mildred Aldridge, Secretary: Nellie Ellison, Treasurer, and the executive committee began to lay the ground worlr for the activities of our Junior year. Mrs. Frank Vass and the cast of our class play, Girl Shy, worked diligently to insure the success of one of the crowning achievements of our Junior year. The Junior Class Party, the activity preceding the all important Junior-Senior Prom, was a Valentine Dance with the decorations carrying out that theme. The Prom climaxed the activities for the Junior year. The theme of this spotlight affair was A South American Street Carnival with colorful booths representing all the countries of our South American neighbors. These booths contained articles that the country was noted for, and the lovely senoritas that mingled with the crowd made the scene very gay indeed. For weeks the Juniors and Seniors hummed the theme song, Brazil everywhere they went. The Prom was a huge success and will not be soon forgotten by the classes of I943 and I944. CHAPTER IV - TWELFTH GRADE And now we enter the home stretch. How familiar Woodrow Wilson has become to us during the past three years! Our class officers were elected soon after school started. The students accepting the responsibilities for this year were: Harold Riffe, President, Glynn Cook, Vice-President, Barbara Dunkley, Secretary: and Nellie Ellison, Treasurer. This year was crowded with activities. The football and basketball seasons were very successful. The band stepped out with snappy, patriotic maneuvers for each football game. The Senior class play, Young April, directed by Mrs. Roy D. Milliron, was received very well and was an acknowledged success. The last few weeks of school were busy ones. All seniors doffed their dignity and really had a good time on Kid Day. At last! Graduation night! We are silent as we sit upon the stage and we think about what the future may hold for us. These chapters of our life are over and we are ready for the ones to come. May each senior go out into the sea of life and leave footprints on the sand of Time.

ROBERT THOMSON 7274, For the past nine years Mrs. Robert Thomson has taught mathematics at Woodrow Wilson High School. During these years she has willingly worked with each senior class in many activities. Since I937 she has been working with the annual staff to edit the Echo each year. It is largely due to her that the yearbook has always been a success. Because of her unswerving loyalty to the annual staff, to the band, and to the school as a whole, we gratefully and respectfully dedicate this I944 edition of the Senior Echo to Mrs. Robert Thomson. if 'A' 'k 1 J l ax. mov' fr, 1, Vffaawyniaf ,VU ' if HZ. fn 1 ' If ' -2 ':?.33f-V159 -9 ' U 1 , 2 he , I , ' 'gwmx ' ' W iq '.o-' f'.- , f NM V4 W - .,, . f ff cj' 'Tri -N A ,. 5 A 5 .
