SCDPI-IOMORES The Sophomore class of nineteen forty stands as one of the top ranking classes in Anderson. The total enrollment is fifty, of whom thirty-one are girls and twenty-five boys. The class seems to be heading in the right direction. The class met as a body and elected three capable officers to lead the group. They elected William Cutsinger as president, Alfred Wolfer as vice-president, and Ruth Henry as secretary-treasurer. The class has been guided and ad- vised very admirably by Miss Nash and Mr. Duvall. Some of the activities in which the sophomore class was represented are: Dramatic club, football, basketball, volleyball, Hi-Y, and the Girl Reserve club. William Pauley is president, Alfred Wolfer vice-president, and Arthur Mertcn is secretary-treasurer of the Beta Hi-Y club. Dorothy Staley was one of Anderson's cheerleaders at the basketball and football 'games. Repre- sentatives of the Sophomore class who played football are Larry Elfers and Jim Owens. We hope there will be more of the Sophomore class out for football next year. From the above information it is easily seen that the Sophomore class of nineteen forty have been of credit to their school. We eagerly await their future work as we believe they will go a long way. FRESHMEN Although they have been in our midst only a year, the Freshmen have already assumed an important place in our high school life. They have been well represented in all the school activities, including Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, football, basketball, baseball, and Lantern Staff. They have not been shirkers in their scholarship either, as their teachers will testify. This has been a busy year for the Freshies, what with getting adjusted to their new high school schedule and all. In the fall the girls were given a baby party by the Senior girls, where they had a chance to act their true age, and after a day of wearing different socks and shoes, shirts backwards, etc., the class was treated to a wonderful party given them by the Sophomores. Everyone had a grand time largely because of the way the Freshies and everyone else got out and hoofed it. The various enterprises that the class carried out showed that they possess qualities of leadership that will stand both them and the school in good stead in the future, and just as important, a spirit of cooperation that should do much toward helping them attain success in life. Their class officers are Paul Connell, president, Sheldon Rusk, vice-presi- dentg Winnie Williams, secretary and Edward Metsger, treasurer.

OUR I-II-Y CLUBS ALPHA H1-Y CLUB A high degree of enthusiasm and intense interest marked our first meeting which was held on Tuesday evening, September 26. This enthusiasm and interest have been displayed throughout the school year. The Alpha Hi-Y club owes very much to Mr. Srofe for his untiring service and leadership. Mr. Srofe has had many years of experience in Hi-Y work. The Hi-Y Club has had many successful and interesting meetings this year. We have had discussions, visiting speakers, swimming meets, various athletic events, a skating party, joint Hi-Y-G. R. meeting, and out doors picnics. The members have taken an active part in all the meetings which the club held. The foundation of all Hi-Y work is composed of four planks. These planks are: Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. The significance of the emblem of the Hi-Y is very important. The white cross at the center of the emblem stands for purity in thought and action. The Red Triangle with its three sides stands for red blooded service to others and for growth in body, mind, and spirit. In the past year we have worked hard and we hope that our achieve- ments and successes will be recorded, not only of the members of the club, but of all members of the student body on their memories. BETA H1-Y CLUB The ambition of most boys while in their freshman and sophomore years is to belong to the Beta Hi-Y Club. This year the club consists of six fresh- men members: Sheldon Rusk, Kenneth Merten, Edward Metzger, Paul Con- nell, jack Dumont, and James Truittg and five sophomores: Arthur Merten, William Pauly, Alfred Wolfer, Herman Brooks, and Harry Hack. The past year in addition to their regular business handled in the meet- ings, the club has endeavored to bring more enjoyment, in the form of recrea- tion and refreshments, into the meetings. The regular monthly program consisted of a business meeting, swimming, recreation, and refreshments. Speakers from various organizations and clubs spoke to the group whenever they were obtainable. The members of the club feel that they have lived according to the stand- ards set by the Hi-Y creed and sincerely hope that they are leaving the club a little better than when they joined.
