For eleven years these massive red brick towers have been outlined against the Kansas sky, their sturdy stability symbolic of the soundness and worth of American education. Stu- dents have entered here, have passed through these halls day by day, and from their numbers ten classes of seniors have been graduated. And so today, on the decennial anniversary of our school we dedicate the Quiverian to that first decade, but also to the next decade and all those to follow. We have tried to picture that building for you, first conceived in the minds of architects Joseph W. Radotinsky and john I.. Hamilton, constructed in three years by an army of workmen, it has been described as a tribute to modern school architecture, embodying as it does the facilities for the most com- plete secondary education possible. Those years the building was under construction the students had had no school building at all, taking their classes at odd hours of the day in various other schools of the city. Many had never been in a high Page Two , E, f S R Zig , Qi xx, I tml!

And so it was with enthusiasm that students and townspeople read the reports: the largest high school building west of the Mississippi, capable of handling 3,000 students, the most complete library possible in a high school building, the most up-to-date gym- nasiums, huge cafeterias and kitchen, 60 foot swim- ming pool, well equipped shops and laboratories, a large auditorium designed for artistic as well as acoustic value, a twenty-eight acre beautifully land- fjjhao sf 'lPc- VN VN N211 C,'we-Lvl 5-41 vyvvl 6Vcf.f-:XZ ivb ixX lilies,-40-ft,'f-'IZ-Q,'3 X ,V l Nj 6164, tx LQLAJCDXX 'Xl vxgcij yxq Q X. 0 Q , ,f X col by 6 ,X W CLKVXCX ,L 2 XJ-J5KPX'k, x,,lr UKL to me ck P CJK' 'VWNNX vx RW G scaped campus-the list could go on and on. Sep- tember 9, 1937, in a ceremony made colorful by military pomp, and given national radio and film coverage, this building, outstanding among high schools the country over, was dedicated and opened. We are justifiably proud to picture the physical appearance of Wyandotte in these pages, but we have undertaken another task also, perhaps even more im- portant. Since any school, no matter how grand its structure, cannot be truly great without the people to make it so, we have tried to represent the people who comprise the school community. Six thousand four hundred and thirty-six seniors have graduated from Wyandotte in tgese eleven years, and have left behind them memories and traditions that are as much a part of Wyandotte as the very walls themselves. The championships taken by the athletic teams, the reputation of our music and speech depart- ments, the issues of Pantographs, Pencrafts, and Quiverians, have all been added to the history of that decade. And yet looking backward is only a part of the dedication of the yearbook this year. We can do more than write a dedication to the past alone, but can say, in truth, that it is to the greater successes, the triumphs to come in the decades which follow, that we dedicate this, the Wyandotte Quiverian for 1948.

We remember Ray as an outstanding personality, a school leader in the best sense, a good student -one who knew what he wanted and worked hard to get it. Of course, Ray Evans was a top-flight athlete at Wyan- dotte. A star in baseball, basketball, and football, he was twice all-stare in basketball and in 1939 was the first Wyandotte player to earn a place on the all-state football team. Ray Evans left Wyandotte with the class of 1940. His Page Eighl record at the University of Kansas is outstanding, even though it was interrupted by service in the Army Air Force during the war. A great team player, Ray is modest and unassuming but he led the Jayhawkers to a tie for the Big Six football championship two years in a row. Then to climax his athletic career, Ray Evans was the first Kansan ever to be named All-American by the football experts of the country. Coach George Sauer called him the greatest back live ever seen. Yes, we at Wyandotte are proud to claim Ray Evans. Ulm SZAOOK 1 3 - :Z I E: ' 5 . il I F4 :Eg 'I as T' V - YI -l' ...-- 1---. I . M!!

Now we are starting the second decade and there are new courses to be added and new methods to be fol- lowed. Education must always emphasize training for life's occupations, but we must not neglect the teaching of hon- esty, thrift, self-reliance and other virtues which are essen- tial to the good life. The Quiverian staff is to be commended for its excellent interpretation of the everyday activities at Wyandotte. R. C. Johnson. Vine-Principal School records include the daily records of attendance which are the answer to questions on regularity and punctu- ality, points about which future employers are always interested. The other records are those of courses taken, grades made, and of extracurricular honors won. These records present a picture of what has been accomplished, and are of lasting importance to the pupil. Our files con- tain all of the records for each pupil since the school first opened in 1886. J. C. Hume. Page Ten Superintendent There is no more important work than that of properly educating our youth. To accomplish this task a plan of action and a well rounded philosophy of education are nec- essary. Emphasis in education varies according to the needs and capacities of the individual and in keeping with the situation concerned. Present-day 'living and prepara- tion for living in the future are the goals of public educa- tion. Wyandotte High School is designed to pjpyide these necessary requirements of a modern school program. F. L. Schlagle. Guidance llireetnr In the Guidance Office students will find assistance in making their plans. Whether planning for immediate entry into careers or for further education, students are welcome. The placement service helps students find part-time em- ployment while in school, summer work, and regular full- time employment for those who are completing their schooling. Francis Gregory.

Each year more authority is given, thus making an increased respon- sibility for every member. During the past year the Council has conducted ushering for new students, P. T. A. meetings, and Know Your Job Day. It has also sponsored mixers after games, the March of Dimes drive, food donations to orphanages, and other activities. Being a member of the National Organization for Stu- dent Councils, it was necessary to draw up a constitution. This was done by a special committee before adoption by the Council.

Officers for the year were, Clarence CCorkyj Brown, president, Kenneth Collins, vice-president, Betty Ogden, secretary, and Esther Metaxas, treasurer. These elected students were again invited to the annual Kansas High School Student Council conference held at Lawrence, Kan- sas, this year. Miss Judith Stapleton, sponsor, accompanied the group. Under the new constitution, the officers and one repre- sentative from each homeroom will be elected at the end of the school year. This will give the council a chance to go into operation at once when school takes up next fall. Page Eleven lacult S. L. Adair Louise Baird Helen Barnett Colo. A. G M., M. E. Treasurer Columbia, M.

Ramrey, rpomor Having the distinction of being the largest class at XVyandotte, the 585 sophomores have lived up to all ex- pectations of being an outstanding class. The larger part of the class was under the handicap of being new to the building, coming from Northwest and Central Junior Highs. It didn't take them long, however, with the help of their sponsor, Mr. Ramsey, to get into the full swing of things. In the early part of the winter they worked with the Student Council and sponsored a mixer. Later on in the year they had an assembly and enjoyed the talents of their own classmates. After completing a successful year they feel that they are entitled to shake off the title of 'lunderclassmen,' and take up the duties of the upper- classmenf' freshman Class llffioors Left to right: Gary Bruce, vice-preriiientg Donmz Fromm, Jecfezaryg Edimril Biiiingr, zreariireig' Richard Meyery, preriiieiizfy Misr Molex, rpomoi' This year's freshman class, sponsored by Miss Moles, has been one of the most active in the history of Wyantiotte. It has been the custom through the years for underclassmen to be confused and bewildered upon entering the large, strange building in the fall, but not these freshmen. The first thing on their agenda was a trip from stem to stern through the building. Not long after that they had a dance for freshmen onlyl' that turned out to be quite a success. As if all this in the fall weren't enough, they con- Ptzge F oimeefi tinued their activities through the winter by means of a pep club with cheerleaders of their own, and turned out in full strength for the frosh basketball games. In the early spring they made up an assembly using their own talent in all its varied forms. Probably the most surprising thing about the class of '51 is that all this has been done by the smallest class, being only 230 strong. With all their pep and vitality they give promise of being an outstanding class in their three remaining years in the halls of Wyandone. Junior Class llfiieers by SHIRLEY Ruouiis This year, the 580 members of the Junior class took time out from the busi- ness of being upperclassmen to present the three-act comedy play We Shook the Family Treef' Under the guidance of their sponsor, Mr. David Gray, the busy juniors brought the year's round of activities to a close by honoring the seniors at the an- nual Junior-Senior Prom. Next year's seniors are now eagerly awaiting the day when they will take over the reins of school leadership. Left to right: Mr. Gray, Jponmr, Alyce Walker, treararerg Genevieve Kraper, recre- tary,' Carl Ambler, preridentf Don Kraft, vice- president. We Shook the Famil Tree The play chosen for presentation by the Junior class this year was an hilarious, three-act comedy entitled We Shook the Family Tree. This fast moving story that kept the audience in stitches dealt with the problems of teen-age Hildegarde, who was tired of being a wallflower and in her efforts to change her status on the date parade caused near panic throughout the neighborhood. Although her inten- tions were good Hildegarde's every act seemed to complicate matters further. Freddie CShort Pantsj Shermer, his dra- matic mother, and Hildegardeis inimitable family added to the hilarity. Altogether the play was full of unforgetable moments. Director William Knapp, all the members of the cast and those connected with the production of We Shook the Family Tree are to be congratulated.

As a result many valuable activities of skill and culture that once had to be extracurricular are now a part of the curriculum. Chief among these at Wyandotte High School is the department of instrumental music, where students attain high degrees of skill with their chosen instruments and a background of musical culture that will be invaluable to them-to some as a vocation, to others merely as recreation, but to all a life-long pleasure. The Marching Band, which, with its corps of attractive Majorettes, forms at colorful and enthusiastic background for all athletic con- tests, the Symphony Orchestra, which furnished incidental music for all plays as well as its own fine concert, and smaller groups of accomplished musicians selected from these large organizations have become indispensable parts of our school life. These organiza- tions have attained national prominence for the excellence of their Work. Wlyandotte High School is proud of them.

A year of quiet but steady work went into the creation of your Quiverian for the year 1948. In September, after tentative plans had been made by Marie Maze, senior editor, Betty Hatfield, activi- ties editor, and Noralie Boyles, club editor, the outline for the book was arranged. Betsy Swigart went to work designing the cover and other art work throughout its pages. Mr. Lawrence Tharp, sponsor, took charge of photographing the activities at Wyandotte, besides his regular work of guiding and directing the staff in its work. As the seasons for the various sports came around, Kenith Howard, joe McCaughey, Robert Youmans, Vincent Wells, Gene- vieve Kolich, and John Welsh covered the events and recorded them.

Joan Stroup worked as a photographer early in the year. The staff, one of the largest the Quiverian has ever had, has done its best to produce a book to please each and every Wyandotte student. lt is our sincere hope that when another ten years-has passed you will be able to glance over a copy of the Quivetian and see an accurate portrait of Wyandotte in 1948. ,, P ,.i 3- t ' 'Ee .,.

W. Corporon, advisor. A special edition commemorating the tenth anniversary of the new Wfyandotte, special editions honoring the foot- ball, basketball, and swimming teams, and a cub edition were included among the 50 issues put out this year. Eleven staff members received invitations to Quill 86 Scroll, international society for high school journalists. Chloris Larson received special recognition in the Na- tional Echo for several of her feature stories. Ruth Lois Abramson won honorable mention in a national Quill SL Scroll editorial contest. Outstanding event of the year and one that will long be re- membered was the annual staff-cub party given by the cubs. FIRST SEMESTER STAFF SECOND SEMESTER STAFF Editors ..................... .......

For the first meet of the season the Barking Dogs traveled to Topeka, where they failed to place. Un- dismayed, the following week they journeyed to the Tri State meet at Pittsburg to battle their way through six rounds, defeat El Dorado in the semi-finals and lose only to Russell in the finals. Shawnee Mission was the next tournament which the debaters attended and it was also the first tourna- ment of the year in which four man teams were used. Though Wyandotte came through six preliminary rounds they lost, in a mathematical finish, to El Dorado in the semi-finals. Early in january, Wyandotte was host to its eleventh annual invitational tournament. Twenty- one schools were entered representing debaters from both Kansas and Missouri. Though the Wyandotte team was eligible for the semi-finals they dropped out Page Twenty-fix v after the elimination rounds. William Chrisman captured the first place trophy with El Dorado taking second. A The final tourney of the season for the squad under Coach Jensen was held at Atchison. With verbal thrusts and parries, with ringing rebukes and stinging rebuttals the battling Bulldogs stormed through to the semi-finals where they defeated their old nemesis, Topeka, and in a very close debate lost to El Dorado in the finals. The regionals were held once again at Lawrence, Kansas, and here the Bulldogs took third. The winner of the state meet was, for the second year in succession, Russell. Wichita North captured the second place trophy. The debate class was one of the largest in the his- tory of Wyandotte, with thirty-one students out for debate. The squad won better than 85 per cent of the debates in which it participated. ln the words of Coach Jensen, 'Tm very well pleased with the record set this year.

Second row: Min Florence Hoar, instructor, Mary K. Mitchell, This is Wyandotte -- we need a longer musical bridge-pick up those cues-slow down on those fade outs-start stretching! With that another ex- asperated director collapses. Please do not be alarmed, gentle people! That gigantic conglomera- tion is not the forerunner of eternity. Those direc- tions are clearly understood by the twenty-three mem- bers of the Wyandotte Radio Workshop. The stu- dent charging about the room working like the pro- verbial beaver is usually the director of the coming program. This woeful soul is in complete charge of the casting, preparation, and presentation of the script. Radio Workshop offers any student who can qual- ify one of the most beneficial courses at Wyandotte. Its aim is to bring forth the natural talent of the student, teach him to accept responsibilities, and to give him the poise and assurance it takes to speak be- fore an audience. For those whose primary interest is not in the forensic field of radio, there is the oppor- tunity to learn the mysteries of the sound man. Those who are musically talented may be interested in filling Jeanne Waldvogel's shoes. Every script needs music of some sort to set the mood of the scene.

Sounds interesting, doesn't it? This is just a portion of an original script written by Catherine Flowers which was presented by the class at the annual KU speech festival. Under the direction of Mr. H. A. Billingsley, the class presented a demonstration of the Wyandotte High Radio Workshop before the English classes and sponsored a talent show composed of students from Argentine, Shawnee Mission, and Wyandotte. They introduced a new type of broadcast called Wyandotte Reports, and still managed to work in their usual 30 programs over KCKN. Mr. H. A. Billingsley, who took the sponsorship of Radio Production when Miss Hoar resigned to be married, commented regarding the class, This was an ideal class, if there ever was one. The students assumed all the responsibility for making each pro- gram a success, and regardless of whether they had supervision or not they carried on and got the job done. Their rewards have been better speech, learn- ing to work together, developing their ability in crea- tive writing and expression, developing initiative, and forming many lasting friendships.

Page Twenty-nine Assemblies Our assemblies this year have presented a varied list of talented people as well as trained dogs, mon- keys, doves, and a baboon. The first assembly was sponsored by the Girls' League. New girls were welcomed to Wyandotte and introduced to the clubs and activities offered here. A musical program by the White Hussars, under the direction of Herbert Petrie, featured the music of trumpets, trombones, piano and vocal numbers. An- other musical assembly featured Henry Williams playing selections on his harp. Student talent was found in abundance in the an- nual Hi-Y Talent Show. Presented in the show were an accordion number, readings, piano solos, a piano duet, vocal singing, and a dance. Nancy Davidson won first place with a reading, and Jim Davidson, with his reading, won second. Third place went to Mary Ann Hodges for her singing, and fourth to Mary Lou Crayne for her piano number. Art students had the opportunity to hear Karl Bolander's lecture, How to Win-W ith Art, while Anna Bird Steward, writer, gave advice on writing to English students. Lawrence Baldwin and Bob Chaffin took the honors in the radio program, It Pays to be Smartf' The sound of voodoo drums was heard as David Starry, noted author and lecturer on the West Indies, presented a program of voodoo and witchcraft. Page Thirty by MARIE MAZE Wyandotte's eighty-four piece symphony orchestra gave the annual concert in February. The drama and music departments worked together in present- ing the traditional Christmas assembly. It was re- ligious in character and very beautiful. ' Atomic Age was the subject of George Stephens, naval reserve officer, in his talk to the students. In the Fred Spooner program, two trained dogs appeared. Along with his talk on trained war dogs, Mr. Spooner demonstrated how to teach a dog to do tricks. Then we all remember the Art Hook assembly in March and the last Girls' League program in April. Football held the spotlight as everyone was given the opportunity to see the films of the Kansas Univer- sity-Georgia Tech. game. Monkey business at its best came to Wyandotte with Harry and Marie Mason. The hilarious antics of a baboon and several monkeys were featured along with the tricks of trained doves. Mr. Mason gave a talk on reptiles as he displayed several live snakes and a horned toad. A Many pep assemblies were held during the year. In one, the identity of Miss Mush, Wyandottels mystery woman, was revealed to be Martha Mackish.

Having a super backfield and a powerful line the Wyandotte football squad battled the top teams of the state in a thrilling season. With vic- tories over her city rivals, Ward and Argentine, the Bulldogs took the city championship. Captained by tackle, Eric Busch, and back, Dave Wilson, the Canines finished with a record of six wins and three defeats. Ed Ellis handled the main coaching job for the second year after return- ing from the Navy, and for the sixth counting years before the war. Helping Ellis do a fine job was Francis Swaim. Around a nucleus of only five returning lettermen they developed a well rounded team. After about three weeks opening practice, Wyandotte captured the season's initial game from Central High of Kansas City, Missouri, by the score of 18-6. Dave Wilson was the first to land in touchdown territory for the Bulldogs as he drove off right guard from the nine yard line. Dur- ing the rest of the first half, two touchdown drives were sparked by Vernon Clary, Bud Kohler, Walt Orloff, and Wils0n's passes to end Don Hursh. ln the second half, over 40 Canine players saw action. Traveling over to Shawnee Mission the Bulldogs were handed an 18-13 defeat by the experienced T-formation eleven. I as eatured by Wyandotte's second touchdown, Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct.

Then, minutes later, Wyandotte again took possession of the ball and repeated their first performance. Early in the second half end Marvin Rengel set up a score by recovering a Pioneer fumble. Again approximately 40 players saw action. Piling up 277 yards rushing to Emporia's 58, Wyan- dotte's super backfield behind an oncharging line took an easy 32-12 victory over the visiting Spartans from central Kansas. Midway in the third quarter, ahead 25-6, the Bull- dogs switched to the T-formation and Orloff taking a handoff from Clary, scampered 57 yards for a six-pointer and one of the most beautiful dashes of the season. High altitude didn,t stop the Canine force as they won over the fighting Mustangs, 14-6, on the Argentine field. Two smacking drives, each elimaxed with Orloff ramming over and Clary converting accounted for Wyandotte's points. In the closing seconds of play the crowd was given a thrill as tackle Bill Holton ran 30 yards after taking a lateral from end Ed Hanson, who caught a 20 yard pass and ran 14 yards before passing off in the play which made Argentinels only counter. Then came Ward! With the score 6-6, Dave Wilson pulled the Ray Evans' play, good not just for 30 yards, not just for a touchdown, but good for a victory. This, the last play of the game, was the specialty that topped off the other 59 minutes and 30 seconds of the thrill- packed tussle for a crowd of 7000. Waiting until the fourth period to score, Ward took the lead, 6-0, with a touchdown pass from Nick to Dollard. Taking the follow- ing kickoff the Canines evened the game up at 6-6 by driving 60 yards for a score. The dream backfield col- laborated to carry the spheroid all the way with Wilson plowing over. Then when Ward was forced to punt after receiving the Bulldog's kickoff, Clary returned the punt to the Cyclone 40. From there a pass, Wilson to Hursh, took the ball to the 25 yard mark, where the winning play started. The Ellismen racked up number six, a 13-0 victory over Salina on the home field. The first counter came from the gains of the super four, while the second was set up by the recovery of a Maroon fumble by Hursh. Wilson plunged over for both counters.

Page Thirty-.raven Basketball March 12 ended the Wyandotte schedule with the basketeers placing third in the Regional Tournament by defeating Atchison 45 to 36. Coach Marion Wools and the team should be congratulated upon completing a successful season of 10 wins against 12 defeats. The statistics, in-this case, do not tell the whole story. When Coach Wools makes the schedule, he doesn't pick the teams just to make the statistics look good. He picks the toughest, and the best teams available, throughout the whole state. With five returning lettermen, Walt Hicks, Milan Supica, joe Latas, joe McCaughey, and jim Hataway, Wyandotte started off with a bang by defeating Cen- tral, of Kansas City, Missouri, to the tune of 33 to 19. joe McCaughey with ten points, jim Hataway, Walt Haskins and Walter Hicks, with six points each, kept Wyandotte in front. Next Wyandotte squeezed past Rosedale 33-32, thanks to Hataway and Joe Latas, 6 foot 6 inch center, who combined hits for 27 points.

In the latter game Coach Wools started an all Junior lineup with Haskins at center, Bill Strumillo and Marvin Rengel at forwards, and Bud Kohler and Bud Roberts in the guard slots. Wyandotte lost a very close game to the Lawrence Lions by 4 points, then came back to edge out the second top team in the state, Salina. McCaughey hit for 12, Latas 9, and Strumillo turned in 8 points, to show the Maroons who was boss. This was the best-played game of the year, as Wyandotte wo 37-56.

Ward, for the second time this season, blew past a stubborn Wyandotte crew before a capacity crowd in Memorial Hall.

The by JOE MQCAUGHEY team will be co-captained by Milan Supica and Joe McCaughey. Milan Supica, who tied a 17-year-old school record of 51.7 in the 440 yd. dash, will be back to perform in the middle distance runs and dashes. Joe McCaughey, who placed fourth in the 100 yd. dash in the state meet and ran on the state championship 880 yd. relay team, will specialize in the dashes. Rounding out the senior lettermen we find Walt Orloff and LaVern Koontz, two fleetfooted-dashmeng Bill Webb, Francis Atkins and Don Landes in the middle distance runs, Paul Stewart and Wilbur Schleifer in the distance racesg John Cooper, hurdlesg Bill Richards in the shot put, Marion Ostenak in the shot and discusg Vernon Clary, javelin, discus and broadjumpg and Ed Hosking will be back to take over the high jump. Three sophomores and one freshman were awarded varsity letters last year. Marvin Rengel, who set a new school record in the pole vault by clearing the bar at 11 feet 10 inches, looks like a future state champion, while Bud Kohler proved to be the speedy timbertopper in the low hurdles. Walt Haskins will be one of the chief weight men. The lone freshman of last year who lettered is Frank Cindrich, speedy dash and middle distance runner. Paul Starbuck will again assume the duties as head track coach after leading the 47 team through one of the best seasons in the school's history. XVyandotte was once state champion in track, but this year Coach Starbuck is hoping to take a team to the state meet that will reign as the best the school has ever had. Assisting Starbuck will be Carter Burns and Francis Swaim while Don Kyle coaches the reserve team and Lester Ramsey the freshman team. .

The Girls' Athletic Association is open for membership to all girls in Wyandotte. If you want to get acquainted and are interested in sports, this is the club to join. This club will help you develop good sportsman- ship for your later years in life. The G. A. A. has sponsored homeroom tournaments for the past two years. Every girl in the homeroom is urged to participate and join in the fun. The tournaments are organized by grade classifications. After a winner is found from each class, they play inter-class games to determine the final winning team. This year tournaments were held in softball, volleyball, and basketball. ln the softball tournament, bad weather prevented the playing of the finals, but the winners of the semi-finals were: Seniors-Martin and Theisg Juniors-Cosner and Gray, Sophomores-Tharp and Timmerg Freshman-Smith and Hill. Cook and Brown homerooms combined made up the winning team in volleyball. The winners of the basketball tourna- K ment were the Seniors of Beck's home-room. The G. A. A. also sponsored other games such as ping pong, shuffle board, tennis, and archery. The girls who are the most interested in G. A. A. work for a letter. This is done through a point system. Each girl gets so many points for every time she participates in some sport. After earning 600 points you receive a small girls' W,', 1000 points and you are awarded a large letter. The three girls that have the highest number of points and all over 1400 are awarded a gold pin. Miss Barnett also sponsors an officiating class for girls who are interested in conducting the basketball games. She gives them extra training in classes after school. Each year, in the spring, the G. A. A. is hostess to other schools in a sports day contest.

Tuttle Vincent Wells Maxine Wilson Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service are the requirements a student must fulfill before being accepted into the National Honor Society. Selection of members is made by a faculty committee headed by Miss E. Maude Moles. Wyandotte confers membership in the National Honor Society as a challenge to greater achievement. The National Honor Society was created as a national organization in 1921 and established at Wyandotte in 1925. Membership in this Society entitles one to wear a small gold pin bearing the emblem of the torch of knowledge. Page Sixty-four Roberta Youmans After students have been accepted, they are initiated into the organization by the traditional Sacred Flame Ceremony, held each spring in Wyandotte's auditorium. This cere- mony is a beautiful and very impressive candlelighting service. Here each boy and girl accepts the challenge of the Spirit of Achievement by repeating this pledge: In all humility, I pledge myself to be honorable, to serve, to lead aright, to uphold scholarship, and thus to keep alive the sacred flame. Sen or Class llllicers The 1947-48 senior officers were Wilbur Schleifer, president, Dave Wilson, vice-presidentg Martha Mack- ish, secretaryg and Milton Wait, treas- urer. They have lived up to the high standards of senior officers and have led their class through a very success- ful year with the help of Miss Nelle Cook, sponsor. Wyandotte has been in this build- ing since the fall of 1937, and many capable students have led successive classes. Looking back to the class of 1938, the following senior presidents have worn the traditional robe of au- thority and knowledge. Class of 1947-Don Wilson Class of 1946-Hugh McCaughey Class of 1945-Don Roberts Class of 1944-Glenn Channel Class of 1943-Ray Honza Class of 1942-Wallace Grimes Class of 1941-Walter Verbanic Class of 1940-Clement Williams Class of 1939-Groff Miller Class of 1938-Stanley Lind Left to right: Milton Wait, Mar- tha Mackirb, Wilbur Schleifer, Mitt Nelle Cook, Dave Wilson. by MARIE MAZE g Jw.

Dear Ruth, a comedy in two acts was presented by the seniors, under the direction of Mr. William Knapp, Miriam, Ruth's little sister, was president of the Bundles for Britain Society. Through this she started writing to Lieutenant William Seawright-only she used Ruth's name. Then Bill Seawright returned home from overseas and came to call on Ruth, who only then found out about Miriam's letter writing. She decided she would go through with the act of pretending she had written the letters, since Bill was only going to be home a day or two. Albert, Ruth's boy- friend, objected very much, but he was overruled as Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, Ruth's parents, were in favor of Ruth's mak- ing Bill's few hours enjoyable. Bill's sister, Martha, came to visit Ruth and met again Sergeant Chuck Vincent, the man to whom she had once been engaged. The complica- tions which arise are numerous, but all ends happily as Judge Wilkins performs a wedding on the stage. Page Sixty-five For Seniors llnl It's here!-that future we are so often told about in glowing terms, those boundless opportunities. It's along about this time that suddenly that distant future looms up alarmingly near at hand. Almost tomorrow we'll be in jobs that will be our life work, or in the colleges of our choice, our senior class scattered, never again to be united in one body. Along about this time, graduation time, it's reassuring to take one last glance backward, at those four years of high school that have passed so quickly. Remember us, when we first entered Wyandotte? We were freshmen, and frankly we were scared-awed by the size of the school and by the authority of the seniors. But soon we began to find our way around Wyandotte, and by the end of the year we were Bulldogs with the best of them. The Quiverian was dedicated to peace the year we were sophomores. With our class increased by arrivals from the junior high schools, we knew this was the beginning of an even better part of our high school life. ln our junior year Wyandotte's halls had a new look, by JANET GREGORY with the start of a new administration under Principal R. C. johnson. We presented a teen age comedy, A Date With Judy, for our class play, and When, near the end of the year we had given a successful junior-senior prom, we felt all set to be the big wheels around the school the coming year. Seniors now, we wear senior rings, have had our senior pictures taken, and ordered cards and announcements. Our class play was Dear Ruth, another comedy. As serious seniors we worked harder than ever before-after all, we were running the school, weren't we? Faster and faster the events of the senior year rolled to their climax, the senior breakfast, baccalaureate service, commencement night! And suddenly then, it is all behind us. All behind us? No, a large part of our high school life will never be left behind. We'll always remember social hall in the morning, the Christmas assemblies, the football games, the parties. We'll always stand when Wyandotte's songs are played. Wherever we are when a year, or when ten years have passed, the class of '48 will be remembering Wyandotte.
