'41 lf28fl Early in the school year the Class of '45 decided to keep up the tradi- tion of putting out a year book, a tradition that has much enjoyment for students and alumni alike. Gloria Gray was chosen Editor-in- Chief, with Dorothy Klynstra and Glenn Karseboom as associate edi- tors. Marian Peckham held the posi- tion of Literary Editor while Bob Williams handled the sports angle. The job of selling the Orbit and se- curing advertisements was left up to Bill De Haan and his assistant Ted Battema. Our typists, Ruth Van Wieren, Margaret Vanden Berg, and Janet Green, handled their job successfully. All the staff worked to complete the snapshot pages. Under the genial guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Davis, the Orbit staff has assem- bled a book which they hope is truly representative of the many and varied activities of Wfyoming High School. At last the Orbit staff can breathe a sigh of relief - the Orbit has gone to press.

Under the guiding hand of Mr. Ferguson, sponsor, and the leader- ship of Bob Williams, president, the Student Council assumed the war- time problems of the school. The air-raid drills were efficiently developed and successfully carried out. Under Council sponsorship war stamp sales exceeded five thousand dollars. The Council also had charge of the scrap drive, which netted S308.00. Part of this money was used to purchase mats for the physical fit- ness program. As a part of its non-war duties the Council had, as in previous years, complete control of assemblies. Al- so in expressing the views of the students, permission was secured from the School Board to have two dances this year within the school building. Other officers for the year were: Bill Drenten, vice-president, Betty Breese, secretaryg and John Peppler, treasurer. Standing llefl lo riglvlj: H. Klynstra, j. D Puit, R. Howland, G.

The school paper is pub- lished bi-monthly under the supervision of Mr. Bouma and an editorial board com- posed of Virginia Vifynsma, june Vander Henst, Betty Christensen, Bob Willianms. In spite of war conditions the Beacon has maintained its high publication stand- ards and become for the hrst time a member of the Na- tional Scholastic Press As- sociation. Since there was no journalism class this year, the Beacon is fully an extra- curricular activity. The Beacon has co-oper- ated with the government in boosting the sales of war bonds and stamps by means of editorial features and patriotic cross-word puzzles. Mrs. Askey and Mr. Gander supervised the typ- ing of stencils in the com- merce classes. Front Roux' B. Christensen, V. XX7ynsma, j. Vander Hensl, j. Koopman, R. XVilliams, A. Newman.
