During that time it has been known as - - - The Jayhawker, The Pathfinder, The Spectator, The Periscope, The Rodeo, The Ace, and finally since 1921 The Quiverian. High school life at Wyandotte this year has been unusual in many ways. More than half of the senior boys will be accountable to Uncle Sam on or before graduation. Each school activity has been keyed to the war ef- fort. Stamp sales boomed, assemblies were either serious-dealing with some phase of the war-as Madame Barzin's talk on the Belgian underground, or quite the opposite-seeking relief from the thoughts of unpleasant reali- ties-as the Horizon Club's Cavalcade of Corn. Through the efforts of the Faculty, Parent- Teachers' Association, and the Student Cab- inet the student body has been brought clos- er together. After-the-game mixers with music by the Swingmasters proved a hit with every Wyandotter-from the uncertain fresh- man to the lordly senior. Crowning the Leap King, at the Backward Party after the last home basketball game, was something new for W. H. S. As you look through your Quiverian, paus- ing now and then to remember some special little incident, we hope you will be pleased with what you see. lf the eighteen hundred enioy our annual, as much as the eighteen who worked on it our goal will have been attained. fr' l E L.

JORDAN Died January 15, 1944 Service in the present national emergency could be roughly divided into three parts. Foremost in this classification stand those who, like Lieutenant Charles O. Jordan, have given their lives to the cause. At the time this is being written approxi- mately 32 others from Wyandotte have made the supreme sacrifice. They, of course, represent the ultimate in bravery and sacrifice. A second group who serve are the hundreds of boys and girls now in the armed forces. We sincerely hope that they will return to their families and friends but we are absolutely certain that they are willing to serve to the death, should that become necessary. The third group includes all of us on the home front who may be serving differently but nevertheless sincerely and earnestly striving to promote the great war effort. Now in whatever way we serve, the same devo- tion to country and duty is characteristic. I have Page 6 a feeling that the ideals engendered here at school have a great deal to do with the success of our service and whether or not we really achieve the desired results. If so, we are proud, if so, we are humble. It's a serious matter when we consider that such a large percentage of the student body of this great school are engaged in hazardous service to our country in an effort to sustain and uphold the freedom we love. Those who have sacrificed and may yet sacrifice all, we shall hold in fond memory. To those still permitted to fight on, we offer our congratulations and our support through our prayers. Those of us fighting on the home front will bear with equal fortitude any hard- ship we may be called upon to endure and any sacrifice we may be asked to make. Thus, may we serve sincerely, courageously, and honorably the country we all love. Principal J.

Lewis Doll, provides pep for basketball and football games and musical setting for assemblies and plays. With Russell L. Wi- ley, University of Kan- sas band and orches- tra director, as guest conductor the second annual m u s i c clinic was held at Wyan- dotte this year. The By Norma Goll section rehearsals with several Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra men as sectional leaders. Climaxing the two day clinic a combined band and orchestra concert was given in assembly with the guest conductor directing. The symphonic band stressed concert playing instead of marching this year due to the complication of students' part-time employment. The band presented its annual con- cert December 6 in the Wyandotte Auditorium with a pro- gram made up of numbers from victory specials to class- ical overtures. The Wyandotte symphony orchestra completed a busy year also with several ensembles and soloists from the group playing for PTA meetings, civic groups, and various other special programs. Leading up to an effective crescendo the department presented a musical variety program in April with the aid of the vocal and physical education departments. Several instrumental students entered and placed in the State District music contest held at Lawrence April 28-29.

Highlighting a year of varied school activities for A Cappella Choir and advanced boys' and girls' Glee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Jeannette Floyd, were the many outside engagements at Kansas City churches, Chamber ot Commerce, and civic clubs. With these groups, three additional classes of first year glee club, two girls' and one boys', compose the entire vocal department that pre- sented the Sing Your Songs ,assembly in February, which received much praise because of the popular appeal to the student body. As a reward of the early morning rehearsals for A Cappella Choir are theinvitations to sing for special organizations and appear on radio performances. This department also entered students in the State District contest held in Lawrence the latter part of April.

New ideas are promoted and carried through by the Student Cabinet, one of the most important of school organizations. This group is com- posed of the presidents of all the classes and the representatives from the various clubs. This year devoting serious thought to the advancing of the war effort the Student Cabinet instigated the promotion of Bond and Stamp sales. Averaging about S900 o week, sales at the end of the school year soared to around S27,000. Wyandotte is one of the few high schools to be authorized as a bond issuing center. All recre- ational activity was sponsored by the Student Cabinet. For the first time in the history of Wyandotte mixers were held in the boys' gym- nasium after the games. Meetings are called regularly by Prin. J. F.

Ranking in the top scholastic bracket of the senior class, 20 boys and 36 girls took a series of general knowledge tests given by Vice-Prin. J. Clyde Hume. These tests included mental alertness, psychological analysis, English, mathematics, and language. Such experience proves invaluable in the service and college exam- inations to be taken later. The seven boys who made the highest scores were placed as the Wyandotte .candidates for the Kansas University Summerfield Schol- arship. They were: Calvin Bolze, George Ford, John Zellers, Richard Cole, Robert Heckler, Kenneth Jackson, and Billy McCarthy. Receiving a scholarship is a significant and hard-earned honor. It is awarded to those who are superior in training, character, and ideals. Page 27 ay Q26 The purpose of the Kay Cees Organization is to foster the highest type of school spirit through organized pep. The Kay Cees play is given to provide funds for both the football and basketball, banquets.

Service to the school and valuable experience for the members are included in the activities of the Dramatics Club. All drama students are automatically in the organization and all others interested in acting are eligible. The purpose of the club is to give experience in dramatics, an understanding and enthusiasm for the theatre, and a promotion of interest in the dramatic activities of the school. This spring, two separate programs were presented for the student body. At the first presentation two one-act plays were shown to activity ticket holders, They were Thank You, Doctor, and lf Men Played Cards As Women Do. The second production required tickets which were sold for fifteen cents. At this showing, The Teeth of the Gift Horse, and Moonshiners were presented. Meetings of the Dramatics Club are held the third Wednesday of each month in the Recital Hall.

Second row, left to right: Don MacRae, Norma Miles, Marion Pear- son, Betty Brooker, Mary Frances Weaver, Mariorie Darby, Louise Haines, Walter Wardwell. The highest honor offered to the theatre-minded high school student is his admittance to the National Thespian Society the organization for high school students who excel in dramatics. Admission is by the point system, points being earned by acting Page 34 in a play or by being a member of a crew or production staff. The instructor awards the points and makes recommendations for mem- bership. Ten points are necessary for admittance, with stars denoting addi- tional points earned and four stars making an Honor Thespian. The initial fee of 31.50 entitles the member to life-long member- ship and a year's subscription to the High School Thespian magazine. The Thespian pin-the comedy and tragedy mask, is available to all members. Each spring a formal initiation is held for new members. - Throughout life the ability to express one's self is a valuable asset. Debate consists primarily in teaching students the art of public speaking, think- ing while on their feet before an audience, and the ability to analyze material. It is one of the interesting and valuable courses that Wyandotte offers. Because of prevailing war-time conditions the number of trips made by the debate squad this year was necessarily limited. Four invitation tourn- aments-Pittsburg, Shawnee Mission, Topeka, and Wyandotte were attended. The lensenites took second place at Shawnee Mission and advanced to the finals in their own tournament. First place in the regional contest qualified them to iourney to the state finals held at Emporia. ledafe By Cecelia Medved Standing, left to right: Coach Leonard Jensen, Tom Warnick.

Page 35 pan, t0gl 6ll9 With a lucky staff of thirteen, eleven girls and two boys, the Pantograph completed its twenty-fifth year of publica- tion. Mr. G. W. Corporon, who was advisor for four years, left for the Army soon after the opening of school. Miss lrene Newton assumed advisorship for the remainder of the school year. High honors were attained by Shirley Johnson and Bettie McChristy in the National Quill 8. Scroll contest for high school students. Shirley won honorable mention for her editorial and Bettie received the Quill 8. Scroll creative writing key for her feature which ranked among the ten highest in the nation. This is the fifth key to be awarded to a Wyandotte student. Heading the staff for the first semester were Anna Louise Larson and Shirley Johnson. Mid-year, Maxine Weir and Norma Goll became editors with Anna Louise, Elaine Er- hardt, and Jack Knowles assisting. Barbara Pickens and Pat Phillips fPick and Patl retained their positions as sports editors. The second page was edited by Betty McChristy, Shirley Krasner, and Joie Kritzler. Louise Haines continued as art editor, and, with Jack, assumed circulation manage- ment. Shirley Johnson became third page editor at the By Joie Kritzler semester. Advertising was handled by Jerry Sherman, with Maxine assisting. As a service to the school the Pantograph sponsored the Scholastic Student Polls throughout the year. Serv- ing Our Country, a new column which gave news of service men, formerly Wyandotters, was published weekly. The service of free mailing of the Panto to boys now in the service was retained. The sports editors got out three special editions when the regional tournament was held here. Seven staff members were applicants for National Quill 8. Scroll membership. They were: Norma Goll, Louise Haines, Shirley Johnson, Shirley Krasner, Joie Kritzler, Anna Louise Larson, and Maxine Weir. Five Pantographites were guests at KMBC at a discussion of wartime censorship. ' They were heard over a nation- wide hook-up. Social activities of the Panto Producers included several staff parties, and, of course, the party thrown by the cubs in honor of the staff. Theatre parties to the Music Hall, the staff-cub basketball duel, and the initiation of the cubs in the spring completed the '43-'44 calendar.

Pictured above is the staff that did the job. The three girls on the right should have been in the large picture but they must have ditched the day it was taken. Included in the group are eleven seniors, iwo juniors, and two sophomores. Miss Cosner of the senior study hall helped a great deal in the taking of senior pictures. Our appre- ciation goes to Photographer Ralph Atkisson, Graphic Arts Engraving Co., Service Typesetters, the National Printing and Lithographing Co., and the Interstate Bindery. For the first time in thirty-three years of existence, the Quiverian was edited by an all girl staff, advised, encour- aged, coaxed, and at times threatened by Mr. Lawrence Tharp. Written in a style to help you remember Wyandotte, the Quiverian records events of a war-marked yet glorious high school year. Hoping to present a history and sum- mary of September to May, 1943-44, it includes you-in pictures, posed or by surprise, your friends, your teachers, and accounts of your classes, clubs, sports, assemblies, dances and accomplishments. The design for the cover was drawn by Elizabeth Weh- meyer, art editor. The Bulldogs, depicting life at Wyan- dotte, were also done by Elizabeth. Shirley Krasner and Joie Kritzler planned and wrote the club section, Between Hours. Barbara Pickens and Pat Phillips, sports editors, temporarily moved their desk from 204 and Panto to 326 Helen Atkisson, .loan Gregory, Cecelia Medved and Quiverian to write the year's sports. Pat wrote foot- ball, and Pick the basketball. They shared the other sports. lt took the combined efforts of the staff to complete After Hours, an account of play time at Wyandotte. Mar- ion Pearson, Ruth Meyer, Earline Hovey, and Mary Coffey are the brain storms that worked on the senior section. Helen Atkisson did the foot work for the gang by taking the negatives to the studio, her father's, and bringing the pictures back. Adding their bit, here and there, Mary Ellen Barker, the official type-'er-over, Joan Gregory, Mary Cecelia Medved, and Norma Goll helped the department editors mentioned above. A Maxine Weir was editor. Mr. Tharp took all the pic- tures and used up his extra time running copy, cuts, and proofs to and from the typesetters. Six members of the staff were recommended for Quill 81 Scroll, the goal of all would-be journalists.

For the second time, in the history of the new Wyandotte, the reception was held in the school.

SOPHOMORE Taking the honor of being the largest class in school, the Sophomores added their bit to make the 1943-44 year a successful one at Wyandotte. The Sophomore mixer, held in March in the girls' gym- nasium was the first party of its kind to be given for a particular class. Undaunted by the current man shortage, they elected four boys to direct their activi- ties. Mr. Francis Gregory is the class sponsor.

Tenacity, co pactness, and determination make up the gridiron version of t Bulldog as seen in the Wyandotte team. They fought, not to ea victories, but to further glories. Tenacity: as the season progresse the green pup, growing up to a full, ferocious, charging Bulldo gave its all in the last game of 1943 by offering Topeka some l the toughest competition that team had seen all year. Compa ness in a team means small size, but a neat and complete fighti unit. This is found in the playing ability of the Canines as the worked out combinations of offense and defense under the tutl lage of Coach Paul C. Starbuck. Determination in a Bulldo means that once he gets hold of the foe, he never lets go b fights to the finish even in defeat. A review of the season w show that he may have gone down under heavy opposition bl not without putting up a scrappy fight in true Bulldog tradition. Losing the first two games played, to the Central Eagles o Kansas City, Mo., 6 to O, and to Shawnee Mission 25 to O, tl' Canines were slow in starting on the winning side, but soon ma up for those early losses by defeating the Pioneers of Leavenwor 7 to O, with Captain Lefty Davies making the first touchdow of the season. Wyandotte again 'went down in defeat again the Ward Cyclones with a score of 20 to 0. This broke a fiv year winning streak of holding the Cyclones scoreless.

Wools, in spite of the lack of experienced material, proceeded to mould a winning squad that carried off a regular season record of 16 wins and 2 losses. In their first contest the Bulldogs trampled the Central Eagles of Kansas City, Missouri, by a score of 30 to 9. An overtime game with Rosedale on the home court ended in Wyandotte's favor. The Canine Cagers defeated their arch rivals, the Ward Cyclones and the Shawnee Mission Indians, in both encounters of the regular season. The second Ward game was a par- ticularly thrilling win with the Bulldogs trailing five points in the last two minutes. Bringing the scoreito within one point in the remaining thirty seconds, a Ward out of bounds pass was intercepted and Bob Mackish fired the winning shot as the whistle sounded. SEMIFINAL CHAMPS In the regional tournament at Lawrence, Wyandotte was the victor after defeating Atchison and Lawrence. Host to the other semi-final com- petitors at Wyandotte, the Bulldogs walked off their home court with three added victories to their credit. They defeated Chanute in the Thursday game, Ward in the Friday playoffs and state champion Shawnee Mission for the third time in the last game.

Roy Captain Jim Orloff presents the stale championship trophy to Principal Wellemeyer Coach Walter D. Roy's Wyandotte Waterdogs again finished a top season, successfully defending their last year's crown to emerge from the state meet with the 1944 title of swim champs. ln the first encounter of the season, held in the W pool, the Waterdogs suffered a defeat administered by the East high school squad of Wichita, 27 to 35. Journeying to Wichita the following week, the Canine Natators swept over the city winning two contests, 35 to 31 at Wichita East, and 41 to 25 at Wichita North. A mid-season visit to Des Moines, Iowa, brought two losses at the hands of the Roosevelt and North squads of that city.

SEMO?- A return meet with Wichita North boosted the Water- dogs morale when they doubled the Wichita score of 22. The state meet loomed last on the swimmers program but the Canines kept their heads high, to outsplash their nearest rival, Wichita East, 46 to 35, proving that the Waterdogs were still the top team in Kansas. Don Wiley has the distinction of being the champion high school diver of Kansas for four years. National rec- ognition is added this season.

The audi- ence rises, repeats the salute to the flag, and led by Miss Floyd, ioins in singing The Star-Spangled Banner. This inspiring ceremony marks the beginning of each assembly in the Wyandotte auditorium. The assembly schedule this year was unusual and varied, appealing to a wide range of tastes. September 27 marked the opening of the assembly season with a talk on leadership by DeLois Walker. Chief Wolf-Robe and his wife entertained with tribal dances and stories of Indian customs on October 14. A patriotic note was sounded by the Navy Day Assembly, October 25. Musician George Steckel pointed out several inter- esting facts about music and composition on November 2. The annual Hi-Y Talent Show again gave talented Wyandotters a chance to perform before their fellow stu- dents. First prize was won by Boogie-Woogie King Bob Stewart, second price by Station K O R N, and third prize by Carol Ireland, who gave a reading. The candle lighting service, songs, and a play made the Christmas assembly memorable for its beauty and inspiration. Early in January the Hollywood Club spon- sored Elliott James in an assembly on liquid air. The two-day Music Clinic culminated in a concert, on January 27 by the Wyandotte band, under the direction of Mr. Russell Wiley of Kansas University.

On February 14, the Girls League presented the Polo- mene Potters who demonstrated the art of pottery mak- ing, and gave a brief history of that ancient skill. The theme of the Glee Club assembly, February 24, was Sing Your Songs. Chorus numbers and solos were tea- tured ending with the entire vocal department singing Marching Along Together. Everyone had a hilariously good time at the Horizon Club's Cavalcade of Corn, which brought to the Wyan- dotte stage many well-known radio programs and stars. Among the noted personalities were Stuporman, Our Gal Monday, and Frank Swoonatra. Take lt and Like lt brought to light several morons in the audience, while Student Cabinet members promote the sale of war bonds and stamps. Left to right: Phyllis Shaw, Robert Young, Don Coop and Bob Hil- gardner. Truth or Consequences showed a number of remark- ably good sports. Instead of a play, the Dramatics Club this year pre- sented two assemblies, one for activity-ticket holders on March 10, and the other a pay assembly on March 16. One-act plays and skits made up the programs, with musical numbers in the intermissions. A few of the amazing discoveries of American chemistry were displayed by Vernon Peterson in an assembly on March 24. And of course, there are those ever-welcome pep assmblies! The band, cheerleaders, and announcers deserve congratulations for their parts in boosting morale and school spirit. Yes, assemblies are an indispensable part of our Wyandotte life. ' Hi-Y Talent Show-second place winner Conductor Russel Wiley of Kansas University warms up the band. Page 61 PARTIES MIXERS - By Barbara Pickens Kay Cees Football Banquet Leap King Lefty Davies and Peggy Chapin his Queen Innovations in Wyandotte's social program this year were the mixers held in the gym or the cafeteria after the games. The first dance was held in the gym, Novem- ber 19, after the final football game of the season. lt was a trial for better mixers and proved very successful with students, parents and teachers cooperating. Music was furnished by the Swingmasters who added the needed touch for a pleasant evening of dancing. Traditional and enioyable football and basketball ban- quets given by the Kay Cees were as popular as ever. The football party was in the Wyandotte cafeteria De- cember 3, while the basketball team was honored in the Hotel Continental March 31. February 18, after the Emporia basketball game, the cafeteria floor provided a smooth spot for the second mixer. Number three was held in the gym after the Salina game-a leap king was elected and crowned em- peror of the evening. A double-cut dance program fol- lowed the Leap Year custom. Sophomores rated a three to five afternoon dance in the girls' gym March 10. Games were also a part of the program. The last mixer followed the Saturday night games of the Wyandotte semi-final tournament March 18. With ar- rangements by the Swingmasters and cooperation by the students the first series of such Wyandotte entertainment ended successfully. l Stag, doe and drag Page 62 Swingmasters at a mixer ggracluafion ours! . 9 Q-:: 1 in iff' ,Qui .A.., .--, X W N , 5 g, ag 1 ww 1 1l.p , : ,, in XT' ' H 1 nl' x ,X XXX 2 .

We admired the gallant senior . . . we set our caps for the Kay Cees. One or two things stand out in our minds about that year. We elected Earl Ross for president, Charles Sims, secretary, Wallace Rix, vice-presi- dent, and Kenneth Jackson, treasurer. The Stu- dent Cabinet published a W Book . . . it helped us get acquainted. The Hammond organ was dedicated and we sat awe-inspired as Marie Sin- gleton played Christmas carols. We attended our first big banquet, the music banquet with Karl Kru- ger as guest speaker. At Christmas we sang car- ols in Social Hall, listened to the band play carols from the Towers, and toasted marshmellows in the fireplaces. We chose Mid-Summer Night's Dream as our favorite play. The football team was the city champ and the basketball lads captured the state championship at Emporia .... And so we advanced a year- sophomores, now. Our year book read War Activities Bring About Marked Change in Curriculum. Right in the middle of a beautiful Sunday grew a date we will never forget-December 7. Wyandotte had its first air raid drill, Tuesday became Defense Stamp day, we were all enrolled in first aid. This year we chose Walt Bortnick for president, Al Kovack, vice-president, Joyce Stall, secretary, and Marie Horseman, treasurer. The musical varie- ty show was the new thing this year with the Floradora Girls and the Vernon and Irene Castle impersonation by Bill Shuler and Alice Wilson, now Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hale and The Fool stand out as best plays of the year. The football team walked off with the honors by claiming an- other state championship for Wyandotte. The By Maxine Weir basketball team placed third in the state tourna- ment. As May neared, we prepared to end our sec- ond year of fun and study at WHS and take on the about-Wyandotte role of the iunior. The outstanding change this year was the phy- sical education program. Our muscles were plenty sore after a few rounds on the obstacle course. The football team was named city champs and the cagers were state runners up. Charley Lyon, football guard, earned the honor of being captain of the all-state team. We presented Seven Sisters starring Louise Haines, as the ad- venturous Mitzi, and Bill Deal, as her love in mas- querade. Our officers were Richard Boring, pres- ident, Glenn Channell, vice-president, Virginia Cook, treasurer, and Dorothy Wille, secretary. Uncle Dan Pease and Coach Ed Ellis for the Navy . . . lieutenants, iunior grade. The second Kay Cee banquet was held in the cafeteria with dancing in the Recital Hall. In April sadness reign- ed our halls. Miss Hazel Trussel, our beloved Girls League sponsor, died suddenly of scarlet fever. The Girls League started a Junior College scholar- ship in memory of Miss Trussell. Our big moment came at the Junior Senior Prom. Paul Tomshany was master-of-ceremonies of the short program in the Auditorium. Punch and cookies were served in the east cafeteria followed by dancing in the west one and a picture in the Auditorium. The Swingmasters, directed by Bill Yeazel, played for the dancers, some in street dresses, some in suits, others in beautiful formals, and a few in tux. H2 of our class went to sum- mer school at JC and received their diplomas in August. Thus, we review our years at Wyandotte . . . undoubtedly the best school.

Nine students are members this year of Quill 81 Scroll, an international honor society for high school journalists. They were recommended through their outstanding work on The Pantograph, the weekly newspaper, and the Quiverian, the year book. Eligibility to the society requires the student to have a scholastic standing in the top third of the senior class, a recommendation by the student's advisor, and the approval of the national secre- tary. The primary aim of Quill 81 Scroll is to en- courage individual achievement. Two dollars is the membership fee, this covers Page 66 the cost of a gold-plated pin and a year's sub- scription to the Quill 81 Scroll magazine. Special badges are awarded to editors and business man- agers. The society was formed by a group of high school supervisors April 'lO, 1926. Wyandotte's division is the William A. Bailey chapter. The 1944 Quill 84 Scroll membership is as fol- lows: Norma Goll, Louise Haines, Shirley John- son, Shirley Krasner, Joie Kritzler, Anna Louise Larson, Marion Pearson, Elizabeth Wehmeyer, and Maxine Weir. Miss Irene Newton and Mr. Lawrence Tharp sponsor the local group.

Those sen- iors ranking scholastically in the upper third of the class are eligible to be chosen. Of these nominees, 'l5 per cent are elected to the society. They are selected on the basis of character, service, leadership and scholar- ship. These traits are carefully considered by the faculty, who act as the decisive voters, with Miss Margaret Schim- elfenig as the present chairman. Those who receive membership in the National Honor Society do so deservingly. They have worked hard for the honor, they have kept their grades high, they have accepted and fulfilled their tasks cheerfully, they have shouldered responsibility, and have proved their ability as leaders. The emblem of the society is a gold pin representing the keystone of progress, at the base of which are the first letters of the four essential qualities-character, serv- ice, leadership and scholarship. Organized in 1921, the society has grown steadily. To- day more than 2700 chapters exist throughout the United States. The Wyandotte chapter of the honor society was organized in 1925 with forty members. Now it main- tains a yearly scholarship to the Kansas City Junior Col- lege. On May 2, 63 new members were initiated into the society. lt is the present hope of the living founders to direct the enthusiasm of the youth of the land, as they take their place in the life of our nation, to the end that they will raise our secondary schools to levels of more effective service in the training of the young people within their influence.

Conforming to the OPA rule, banning banquets and special or extra meals, the class substituted a luncheon for the tra- ditional breakfast, since everyone would eat in the cafeteria anyway. The robe and gavel were presented to Don Coop, junior president, by Glenn Channell, senior prexy, at the final junior-senior assembly. The farewell weeks, filled with parties, National Honor Society initiation for the honored 63, the senior luncheon, bacca- laureate, and finally commencement, brought to a close the end of the be- ginning for the '44 graduating class. Page 68 By Maxine Weir Counseled by Mr. Marion E. Divelbiss, the seniors began the year 435 strong, but by spring their rank had dropped to 410. Many of the boys, who reached their eighteenth birthday before gradu- ation, enlisted in their chosen branch of service and completed their high school course by correspondence. Others felt the call to the colors far more important than a few months of school. As yet, the circle of '44 service boys has not been broken. The Whole Town's Talking was pre- sented in December with the help of Mrs. Vance L. Burch. The seniors were guests of the junior class at the annual Junior-Senior reception. The traditional robe of authority and knowledge is given to junior president Don Coop by senior president Glenn Channell. l l w l l K I w HELEN ADAIR Kay Cee, Home Ec., Secretary, Hi-GR.
