 Sophomores, attention! Report your talents. We claim to be on a level with the other classes in that regard, sir editor. John Downing is our nomination for class athlete, a basketball player first of all, and not a beginner at either tennis or golf. Dada Simstad was probably the most popular bas-ketball-er. Betty Findlay and Phil Romiti are efficient members of the library staff. We re still inclined to doubt Fred Kemp's ability as a clarinet player, yet do admit he has a pleasing bass. Louis Goldfine. the boxing pride of the Sophomores, retained his tournament laurels again this year. Virginia Wooten carried on her scholastic achievements as did Betty Myhre and Joyce Conley, in spite of all their outside activities. Dorothy Bell has gainod honor as a swimmer; Lois Peterson as an artist and tennis champ par excellence, and Jane Cohan for her work in dramatics. Bob Schnell (refer to Junior picture) is quite a scholar and gave a convincing performance as a judge in the Vod-vil. Another classmate. Norem Neault devotes his energies to work on the Pep staff. Besides these, our bids to fame and fortune are many—too numerous to list now, but this is a sample of our versatility and interests. Excellent, Sophomores, excellent! Carry on as you've started.

[junior. From the picture above you might conclude that Juniors were either lew in number or camera shy—neither of which.is true. It just seems that somehow or other many missed the picture call. Thanks to B. Schnell, though, he filled one vacant seat although he's in the wrong pew, we think. Very active were the Juniors this year. Jean Currier led inter-sorority activities as President of the Inter-Club Council; versatile Woody Christianson not only played championship football, but was quite fascinating in his candy-stripe ballet skirt in the Iota act. Larry Adams and Bob Lyons both have written their names in football and boxing history here. Pat Brandow and Imogene Morisset checked textbooks in and out for us, and Katherine Lybeck and Mary Jane Fleer have taken an avid interest in the International Relations Club. Julian Oyaas, you know, was our stage manager par excellence and an excellent camera man. Kav Link, ever since her high school days, has been icnown for her lovely voice, and Jackie Girzi for her skating. And don't forget Joe Nemec has been named football captain for next year. In their Senior year these and the rest of the Juniors will put the finishing touches on their careers, and with such an array of talent the Seniors next year should make their class an unforgettable one. i

fyteAltmea This year, as every other year, the Freshmen entering College for the proverbial pursuit of knowledge were critically eyed by faculty and upperclassmen, and passed inspection with colors flying. Many of them have come forth individually and collectively to take their places among the leaders in College and their talents have already been displayed to great advantage. They gained the good will of everyone in school at the very beginning by gathering wood for our Homecoming bonfire. Athletes were plentiful, much to Coach Whereatt's joy. From Superior Central came Fran Paquette, Lolly Welch, and Bud Engdahl to carry on their football and basketball careers. Charlie Hadley from East, again donned a basketball uniform and performed capably for State. The two Waynes, Shumate and Wynans, turned their interest to boxing; and they tell us Ed Conley shines on the tennis court. Box Sexmith on the golf course, and John Gallagher at ping pong. Musicians were not lacking; Ruth Fosvig and Bill Edwards are violinists of no mean ability. Jean McFarland's voice added to the Lambda act's popularity, and Fred Smith's trumpet playing to the LD.C.'s. Among the art artists are Pat Green and Lee Harper. This is our bird's eye view of the newcomers — with three more years ahead of them they'll all be able to do great things for the College.
