It's Throwback Thursday! Back to the 1996 WHS Tomahawk this week for some more memories!
“Get involved as much as you can.” Words of encouragement from graduating senior, Liby Maria-Rose Shafer. Liby sure did take her own advice while in high school, participating in pom squad, football cheer, volleyball, golf, soccer, and student council for four years. She was also in band for two years. She claims most of her time in high school was spent running around to every activity!
Liby’s most influential teachers in high school would be my math teachers. “When it came to math class I hated going and I felt very confused. Eventually with a lot of patience from my math teachers my mindset changed and I learned not to hate math.”
Liby’s future plans include attending Indian Hills Community College to further her education and athletic career. Liby is the daughter of Jay Shafer and Marcia Langan.
Liby leaves the halls of WHS with this quote, “I made memories!”
Best of luck, Liby!

“To be a winner, you don’t have to cross the finish line first.” Words of wisdom from graduating senior, Kendall Burger. Kendall is the daughter of Ben Burger and Kara Halling.
While in high school, Kendall participated in FFA, 4-H, and bowling. Her experience in FFA and 4-H, as well as her time spent with Mrs. Chapman in her classroom and the greenhouse, will help prepare Kendall in attending Ellsworth Community College to pursue horse training.
Kendall names Ms. Bostian as the staff member who had the most influence on her because she gave her chances and always tried to include her in things with other kids. She was there for Kendall when she really needed someone.
Kendall advises underclassmen to, “Take time to yourself. Don't over stress yourself, take time to be a kid.”
We wish you well, Kendall!

LIvia Ray Fuller’s yearbook quote would say - “This was nothing like High School Musical!” Livia, or Livy as she is lovingly called, is the daughter of Travis and Kelly Fuller.
Over the last four years, Livy has been busy participating in choir for one year, golf for two years, volleyball for four years, and softball for five years. When she wasn’t in class, Livy could be found with Ms. Eakins, spending time in her office. LIvy says that Ms. Eakins has been her most influential staff member because “she’s always positive and wants nothing but the best for everyone.”
Livy’s parting wisdom to the underclassmen is to “Show up to class and get your work done!”
LIvy is still deciding between the medical and education field as her future career and plans to attend college in the fall.
Good Luck, Livy!

Athletics have kept senior Quinn Emerson Veach very busy over the last four years. A member of the volleyball, basketball, track, and softball teams, Quinn says that, “Athletics have taken the largest part of my time at WHS. They have provided me with the most stress and fun I experienced in my high school career.” Quinn also held leadership positions throughout her high school career as a member of student council, National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and M-Power-U.
Quinn’s advice to the underclassmen is to “Be a part of everything at least once and talk to as many people as possible.”
A staff member that has made the biggest impact is Mr. Brown. Quinn says that, “Mr. Brown never gives a student or athlete anything for free. He teaches you to work for and demand what you want.”
Quinn is the daughter of Russ and Kara Veach and plans to attend Southeastern Community College to complete her associates of arts degree and play volleyball. She then plans to attend Des Moines Area Community College to enter the Mortuary Sciences program.
Her quote in the yearbook would be, “Love them anyways. Luke 23:34”
Best of luck, Quinn!
