Your sophomore year came to a close but you will always remember . . . Skylark', and 'llialamazoov . . . pep sessions . . . your lirst dark lipstick . . . your lirst formal dance . . . that hard-earned E sweater . . . you were growing up . . . you became casual and smooth . . , you became a part of Elkhart High School . . . The next fall when you returned as a junior, you had self- conhdence, poise and personality. It was just about then that you discovered the importance of your studies. You took to reading Paul Mallon instead of just hashing over the latest dirt in the Pennant Weekly. Andre Kostelanetz be- came known to you along with Bing Crosby and Harry lames. That was the time when new things took on new meanings to you. Twenty-c'ighz r Seniaad REMEMBER . . . That fall when you entered Elkhart High School? You had dreamed all summer about that big moment. You talked about when you would be in high, school and thrilled antici- pating when you could be put in the same study hall with that certain senior. You found your- self meeting new people and liking them. You looked at school with new eyes and you knew then that you wanted to be a part of it, not merely a part of your own little crowd. Now you were here: self-conscious, scared, awe-struck. You cling to your gang, you watch the seniors. The next day you wear what they wear, you loaf where they loaf, you pick up their pet phrases and expressions. You said that natural kid and hi, Goofy . All these made up your first impressions of high school. You began coming home at 5:00 instead of 3:30 because ou worked like do fs under the Y 2-s whip of the upperclassmen. You realized that those same workers would at some time be the leaders of our class. When the class or fanized, Y 2- you helped to elect ofiicers: Bob Stackhouse. presidentg Morris Clement, vice-president: Mari- ln Kin r, secretar Q Dick Ha fans, treasurer: Y is Y is N Mary Lou Niblock and Bob Weldy, social chairmen. Miss Clendenen and Mr. Niblock were chosen to chart your course throughout - your sophomore year. Remember the First class party? It was held in the gym, March 26. That hill-billy wedding in which Hank McCloughan married Bob Es- Plans, parties, programs . . . these all went into the making of your junior year. Bill Borneman who was elected president was aided by Bob Stackhouse, vice-president, Vir- ginia Ienner, secretary, Dick Hagans, treasurerg Mary Lou Niblock and lim Macumber, social chairmen. Mr. Sands took over the position of co-sponsor along with Miss Clendenen. The Ration Rumpusw which was held january 7 in the cafeteria was especially appropriate because of the war-time conditions. Remember how all the girls swooned when Iake Flora gave his interpretations of Frankie Sinatra? But after the fun of the party, you really had to dig down and start working on the class play, The Charm School . Phyllis McLain, Dick Church and all the other kids made the play a great success on the night of March 31. Then came the biggest event of the year, the Iunior-Senior
