Social Co-Operation Every student that graduates from Clymer High School goes through a process of social adjustment. From the very beginning the individual is identified with a definite group. The welfare of that group becomes his responsibility. This implies a consideration of the rights of others as well as a desre to co-operate for the common good. The coin- mon good is realized by the achievements of the goals set by the school for the group. These goals can not be achieved without the utmost co-operation and effort. It is not a totalitarian idea. The individual does not exist for the group alone but is made to feel that the efforts of the group make him or her a more accomplished individual. He is more accomplished, not only because of objectives obtained, but because he has learned to do something with someone else. This is the ,Hrst lesson in learning to live a democratic life. In Clymer High School the group is the class and the total results of the class eyforts are the reflections of individuals. The final goal is an individual ready to step into other groups with a desire to add something to the attempt to produce the altruistic society of which everyone dreams.

JUNIOR CLASS N interesting and successful year was enjoyed by twenty-eight students who united in room sixteen under the supervision of Mr. Sayre to form the Junior Class. The Hrst few weeks were devoted to getting down to the books again and selecting those whom we wanted to help guide us through the coming year. As we look at the results we End that Thelma TenHuisen, president Alvin Pickett, Vice-president, Jackie Sweet, secretary, and Robert Selfridge, treasurer, were elected to occupy the ofhces. Talent in different forms is one of the classis greater aspects. Our dramatic ability was clearly displayed in an enjoyable performance of our Junior Play, A Mind of Her Own. Bob Selfridge, Carlton King, Llewellyn Legters, Ger- ald Smith, Lester Groters and Alvin Pickett were our athletic stars, with Thelma TenHuisen, varsity cheerleader and Arditli Rhebergen, captain of junior var- sity cheerleaders, holding up for the opposite sex. We were fortunate in having active members in the band and chorus. In our spare time we sponsored humorous movies to earn extra funds which produced an entertaining evening for all who attended. We are looking forward to next year as Seniors, confident that it will be as successful and enjoyable as the past one. SOPHOMGRE CLASS HE Sophomores began the school year with Miss Hewey as advisor. Esther Pickett was elected to the position of president with Everett King as vice- president, Phyllis Aikens as secretary and Harold Porter as treasurer. We have many students taking part in school activities such as band, chorus, various clubs, and athletics but we still find time for our studies. Jean McCray and Marceil Schraeder are honor students. The Sophomore boys have made a name for themselves in sports. We boast of such able players as Boo Neckers, Willy VanEarden, Wes,, TenHagen, Wins TenI-Iagen, Herky Porter, Sonny Giles, and Rodney Edwards. Not to be outdone, the girls have participated in a great many play days. We have Jean McCray and Sally Yaiko as our class representatives on the Girls, Athletic Committee. Although the girls have not fared as well as the boys, the games were greatly enjoyed by everyone. Our ability as actors was proven by our assembly, a one act play called Life With Willief, We also had members in the operetta K'Ask the Professorf' With the end of the year we find the Sophomores with a greater under- standing of high school and the world in general and also looking forward to a bright future. 8
