Wyandotte High School - Quiverian Yearbook (Kansas City, KS)

Page 20 text:

Class of 1947 Out at 25th and Minnesota in the city of Kansas City, Kansas, there's a high school called Wyandotte. It's campus, though beautiful, is not the thing which im- presses you most, but instead, the spirit that pervades that same campus. Each year, approximately 450 young men and women pass from its classrooms to assume their right- ful place in society. To these young people belong the future of our community, state, and nation. And the coming few years will see many of them establish them- selves as solid citizens of our land. Ever keeping our faces turned toward that future, we pause for just a moment in retrospect . . . We remember primarily the group of scared kids who made up our freshman class-awed by the size of our new school, and trying our very darndest to find someplace to fit in. We recall very vividly those first few days, how we got lost, the mistakes that we made, but most of all, the friendly atmosphere which made those first few days not too uncomfortable. We envied the big, important seniors, laughed at how silly the usteadiesl' looked, and formed ambitions and desires for our own senior year. Came the sophomore year, and dear old Wyandotte saw a more experienced class compete for honors with new arrivals from junior highs throughout the city. It wasn't long, however, before cooperation replaced that competitive spirit, and, despite difficulties caused by the by the Editors war, we sophs plunged headlong into the work and play which constituted our new lives as high school students. We remember the partial dignity' acquired updn passing into our junior year. Some of the not-to-be-fon gotten events of that year were: the Junior class play, Junior Miss , the Kay Cee banquets, and of course the Junior-Senior Prom. The long-awaited senior year finally arrived, and with it came the culmination of the hopes and dreams of many fellows and girls. Being the tenth class to graduate from the new Wyandotte High, this year marked the beginning of a new administration under a new principal, R. C. Johnson. The year passed altogether too rapidly as we were caught in the whirl of activities that make up a successful senior year. Ordering class rings and pins, announcements, National Honor Society nominations-all these events and many others combined to bring gradua- tion date nearer by leaps and bounds. In days to come, we will remember the swell times we've had together, social hall and the traditional Christmas service in the yuletide season, the mixers, banquets, and parties that made up our school life. And though we will never again be assembled as we have been this past year, the benefits gained from our association will speak with such power, that, in years to come, the world will hear from the Class of ,47. .,,.,,.,. ,s .,,:,:: bzutpztihuIuzpzptliIGzhzH:Q:'IIAZpzpznzzizgtuzuztqzhl ,,. , '- Page 16

Having set membership in this scholarship group as his goal upon entering high school, he now can wear the emblem of the torch of knowledge. The Honor Society was created as a national organization in 19215 as a society here at Wyandotte ini 1925. The founders of this group had in mind the stimulation of scholarship, leadership, character .john Winters and service among high school students. Thus, these are the requirements for membership in the National Honor Society. The candidates are initiated into the organiza- tion by a traditional Sacred Flame Ceremony, held each spring in Wyandotte's auditorium. At this very impressive candlelighting service, each boy and girl accepts the challenge of the spirit of Achieve- ment by repeating this pledge: In all hamilizfy, I pledge myself to he honor- ahle, to serve, to lead arighl, 150 apholll ieholar- rhlp ami that to keep alive the Jacreal flame.
