CLASS HISTORY WE THE BEGINNERS Golly, I guess we certainly were a sickly bunch when we became Fresh- men back in '41, We were proud but slightly scared. How we have changed . . . We elected Raymond Daniels for President, Charles Stone for Vice- President, Raymond Barrett for Treasurer, and Anna Bensenhaver for Secre- tary. Our Freshmen Frolic was well attended and we all had a great time. BACK AGAIN In '43 we felt more grown up. We felt like Guns , but the Seniors soon put us in our places. This year we elected Charles Stone for President, Anna Bensenhaver for Vice-President, Betty Schram for Secretary, and Iames Honest Iim Coleman for Treasurer. All the famous bands played for us at our Sophomore Hop-on records of course. We participated in all the highlights of the year, the scrap drive, record drives, and the War Bond drives. We all worked hard and did a good iob even though we didn't win all the prizes . . . ONLY ONE MORE YEAR . . . Iuniors--now we really were Guns , Tom Wilcox was President, Muriel Phillips was Vice-President, Caroline Strom was Secretary, and Honest lim remained as Treasurer. We accomplished a lot this year. Charles Stone was chaiman of the ring committee. Contrary to other years we ordered silver rings as we were unable to get gold ones. Mike Brown was chairman of the Iunior Prom. Mike did a swell job, although we only cleared about eleven cents. We had loads of fun just the same. THE LAST YEAR ' Ever since we entered Wilson we have waited to become Seniors. Finally we reached our goal only to find that there is little glory in being Seniors. Officers were: Dick Stewart, President, Anna Bensenhaver, Vice-Presi- dent, Ed Binke, Treasurer, and Virginia Nolan, Secretary. I We sold Christmas Cards and wrappings to help our depleted treas- ury. During the course of the school year we had class parties. Those of us who attended will never forget them for a long time to come. Bob Lyman, our council representative, left us at the beginning of this year to go to Choate School to finish his hurried high school education before joining the services. His leaving made room for Tom Wilcox, who became our council representative. We all miss Ev Paulson who left us December 29 for the Navy. All in all Seniors, looking back we have had a pretty good time here at Wilson, haven't we? I Respectfully yours, Virginia Nolan 23
