Senior Class History In the fall of 1951, twenty-one wondering Freshmen entered the halls of W. C. H. S. Their first official act was to elect class officers. They were: Frances Null, president; Betty Stamer, vice-president; Lois Feix, secretary-treasurer; and Lois Feix and Lonnie Williams, student council. Our sponsor, Mr. Nienheuser gave us much assistance in all activities. After being properly initiated they settled down to everyday high school life. The class showed it had a great future by the following deeds: Lonnie Williams was elected vice-president of the F. F. A. He was the first Freshman ever to be elected to an office in the F. F. A. Betty Stamer and Terry Shortal were elected Queen and King of the School Carnival, as the class brought in an impressive 9,000 points. At the end of the Freshman year, they had a balance of a little over $100.00 in the class treasury. A good start indeed! They returned in September of 1952 elated at not being low Freshmen anymore and determined to make things rough on the Freshmen. But first class officers had to be elected. The following were elected: Lester Sontag, president; Bonnie Barklage, vice- president; Terry Shortal, secretary-treasurer; Shirley Milan, reporter; and Betty Stamer and George Jaeger, student council. After initiating the Freshmen we showed we still loved them by giving them a hay- ride and a wiener roast. Under the leadership of Miss Joslin, their sponsor, the class prospered, and at the end of the year had a cash balance of $192.02. At last they were upperclassmen. The big seven chosen as officers were: Lonnie Williams, president; Marvel Park, vice-president; Lester Sontag, secretary; Betty Stamer, treasurer; Lois Feix, reporter; and Marilyn Hunt and Marvin Schubert, student council. Miss Stuart was our capable sponsor. Planning ahead for their prom, they immediately engaged in money-making activities which netted them enough money to give the Seniors the finest prom ever given at W. C. H. S. It started out with a banquet at Davis Restaurant and finished up with a dance in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. The theme was “Garden of Friendship’’. The whole group enjoyed dancing to the music of Club Royale Orchestra. Our Junior Play was entitled, “Murder With Orchids’’. Seniors at last, this group of ambitious young people who have seemed more closely united than most classes, elected as officers: Lester Sontag, president; Terry Shortal, vice-president; Lois Feix, secretary; Betty Stamer, treasurer; and Frances Null and Lonnie Williams, student council. Mrs. Walker was our Senior sponsor. Determined to have at least $500.00 for a Senior trip, we have had various activities to accomplish this end. Our play for this year, “Damsels In Distress” will, we hope, complete our financial program for the year, and let us have the last six weeks of school to prepare ourselves for commencement and our long-looked-for, Senior Trip!
