All members joined in the various activities offered by the school, such as Glee Club, Thespians, and many others. One of the girls dropped out but another girl and one boy joined us in January. We entered a booth at the Junior Penny Carnival on March 25 to help raise money. At the close of the year a picnic was enjoyed. OFFICERS PRESIDENT ...................

THE JUNIOR PROM The most important event of the social calendar for the year ’37 and ’38 was the annual Junior Prom which was held May sixth. The promenaders came into a fairyland of twinkling stars, colored lights, and toadstools through a moss-covered will-gate. The dance floor was surrounded by a willow fence while in the center a revolving mirrored garden attracted one’s attention. At one end of the gymnasium a full moon shone through the branches of a vine and moss-covered tree. At the other end. the background for the orchestra was formed by a waterfall. Dwarfs, elves, and fairies peeked out from behind toadstools and through the fence. Before the floor show, which was given in the latter part of the evening, the Prom Queen, Sunta Alberico, was crowned with a crown of fresh garden flowers. Her attendants, Harriet Pitt, Katherine Butz, and Virginia McCandless, were given corsages. The program was as follows: Song, Colleen and Patricia Faricy; dance, Ila Akin; accordian solo, Joan Zontine; tap dance, Alfred Tollis and Dorothy West; vocal solo, Virginia Smith; tap dance, Eugene Henrich.

On September 23. 1037. the Sophomore class held its first meeting and elected class officers. On the night of October 1, the Sophomores held a picnic at Greenwood which was enjoyed by everyone. Shortly after plans were made for an all school dance which was held in the gym February 4th, 1038. The decorations were carried out as a winter scene and added to the attractiveness of the party; it was known as the Sophomore “Winter Frolic.” The boys of this class showed an interest in athletics and were represented in football by Frank Morelli, Raymond Syputa, George Barnes, Billie Draper, William Graham, Leonard Gray, Allen Delling, and Joe Conrado; Allen Delling, George Barnes, Frank Morelli, and Billie Draper winning the “F” letter. The bovs out for basketball were Joe Conrado, Raymond Syputa, Jimmy Linn, Lee Garcia. Billie Draper, and William Graham: however, the competition was so strong that none were able to make a letter. The Sophomore girls had a strong basketball team which was captained by Betty Dickson, the souad members being Marie Perrin, Lena Mae Delling, Lydia Brinlee, Hazel Wells, Mary Lois Thomson, and Ila Akin. The contest play selected for presentation was “Compensation,” a difficult play, but under the direction of Betty Huiatt the Sophomore cast did very well; Billie Draper getting honorable mention. Honor students of the class throughout the ve- r are: Theresa Schmidt. Wilma Kitto, Ellsworth Easton, Marie Perrin, Martha Eskridge, Kenneth Evans, Lydia Brinlee, Doris Jean Smith, and John Wood. The Sophomores closed the year with a picnic and began to look forward to being upper classmen. OFFICERS PRESIDENT .................... Allen Delling SOCIAL VICE PRESIDENT......
