Woodrow Wilson High School Alumni "Class of 1932"

FRESHMEN

SCARED-everything strange-where's Room 118? Looking for it on third floor. Why's that man with the hat on blowing that noisy whistle so much? Sophs trying to sell you seats in the auditorium-not buying one-'eut wondering if you should. Why doesn't this locker open? Reprimanded for coming late to class-how co~d you help it? Finding out, surprisingly enough-that the room numbers are arranged systematically. Why did they seem so mixed up before? Why doesn't he stop blowing that whistle? Hurrying-going-where? Referring to schedule card. Bringing wrong book to class-back for the right one. Ten hours for masticating the viscid sap of a South American eucalyptus tree.

SOPHOMORES

Back to the front-not being called Rats any more. Teasing the new batch of Froshies-joining societies. Biology-looking for butterflies. Is that a Virginia creeper or a sycamore leaf? That "superior feeling"-when teaching a History I class. Gosh, how do they get so dumb - Our class couldn't have been that dumb-when we came up here! Some of the girls are waitresses at the Junior-Senior. Golly! the year passed quick-we're - ready Juniors!

JUNIORS

Ho-hum-back to the going-usual routine-trying to fix up schedules-not getting into any class you like. Well-they'll do. Had better work-chance for Honor Roll. Winning in boys' and girls' intramural athletics-winning in literary activities. Elections for next year's officers-Seniors to be put up, of course. Lots of excitement. Giving Seniors a banquet-keeping up school traditions. June-worn out by exams-reviving little on learning that you're a Senior.

SENIORS

Finding it hard to be dignified-but-worth it. Rats stare. Directing them-condescending to answer their own questions. Varsity doing well-winning football cup from Maury. Honors in literary field received by Wilson Seniors. Rings and pins. Baby Day-dignity sleeps awhile. Final essays-what to write on! Honor Roll announced. Stunt Night-big success. Caps and gowns arrive-graduation soon-Baccalaureate-diplomas-graduated! How did four years pass so quickly? College-or post-graduate course? What did he say ?-going out into the world-fighting our way to Success-reaching the goal. School days finished-life beginning. What a grand and glorious feeling!
