i M N1 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY WE HAVE noticed that every other class has entered through the portals of W. H. S. but we, the Class of 1923, came in through the door. Then we were twenty-one girls and fourteen boys, inexperienced in high school work but confident of our ability to outshine every other class. This expectation has been realized. Did the upper classmen subdue us? They couldntt. The class made up almost half of the high school. We learned our way around, selected our subjects, found our teachers and in two days we could not be distinguished from the other students. Moreover, a class meeting was held, and as the class did not have to organize, Howard MacKay and Mary Graft were elected presi- dent and secretary-treasurer respectively. Our illustrious president held his place throughout our high school career. Athletics were conspicuous in our first year activities; in fact, the football, baseball, and track teams were com- posed largely of Freshmen. As 'tSOphs we carried out our plans to subdue the coming ttFreshiesf' The Freshmen trembled at the very sight of us mighty upper classmen, even though our numbers had diminished. Tom Paul and Elizabeth Withrow deserted us for Hughes. We congratulate Hughes. Six others left for parts unknown, but Virginia Hill now decided to cast her lot with ours. Again the athletic teams depended on our class. The Girls Track team, with Mary Ross as captain, took the first cup for W. H. S. The team consisted of eight members, four of whom were liSophsf, As J uniors we found time to entertain the Seniors at the Episcopal Parish House. They responded with a dance at the Golf Club. True to our reputa- tion for being the brightest class of the high school, four of us this year took college entrance exams. This year too was a banner year for athletics. The football and baseball teams were fairly successful, and the boys track team carried off the cup. The girls, track team lost by only one point. Seniors! Ay, and industrious ones, too. Or why would we have voted at thefirst class meeting to publish this Annual? The Class of 1923 will not, nor cannot be forgotten because of its achievements. In SEpternber we entered a building which was being remodeled, thanks to our Mothers, Club and Board of Education. Amidst paint, bricks, ladders, workmen, and noises of all kinds, we made our way undaunted. We were the lirst graduating class to have the privilege of using lockers, fire escapes, and a new entrance to the building. The MacKays, Tom, Werner, Alfred, the Marys, and Gladys were still at the1r posts on the teams. The Seniors were entertained by the Juniors for whom we gave a picnic May 29. The Senior play, HMr. Bob, was a great success 1n every way. The proceeds increased the ttWyo Eco fund by nearly $200. Although it is the second largest class to graduate, the Class of 1923 has the record even for marriages. Since lack of space forbids, we can write 110 more now, but we feel sure that everyone will be interested in the history we are going out to make. HWe could no longer silent sit. el23. 1- 21 h.
