When the News announced that Wilma was to be valedictorian of this graduating class of nine young people, it noted that she had won out over Alice MacIver by only a fraction of a percentage point.
Both Willard and Wilma were on the staff of the Aurora yearbook.
The Class Will and other humorous items give us sketches of these two personalities.
That last one I originally posted when speaking of the serious accident that Wilma and her family had been through. It also mentions Willard Dorman, pairing him up with Emma Carstensen (for awhile, anyway, since the Class Will suggests he lost her to some guy in Hammond).
Finally, an essay on how the Class of 1919 learned Mathematics, from Wilma, gives us a glimpse of Alfred Epps as a teacher.
