Jllllllll MES HlElUllY On September 5, the class of 1946 entered Greencastle High School once more, this time as upper classmcn and willing to take a larger part in the school activities. Our home rooms are Room Z and Room 5 under the direction of Mr. VVhitmore and Miss Phillippy. Our hrst class meeting was held on September 28, at which we elected our officers for the year. Virginia VValck and Charles Barkdoll were chosen as our representatives in Student Council. A meeting was called on October 4, and the members of our class decided to buy rings. When the samples arrived on October 13, the committee took charge of the arrangements and the voting was done in thc office. VVe are now anxiously waiting for the real rings to come and hope they get here before we are seniors. Hurrah! They arrived during Easter vacation. On December 7, a class meeting was called in order to select the class color, class flower, and class motto. Not everyone agreed with the selections, but there was no quibbling among the classmates. Ruby McFadden was appointed chairman of the song committeeg of the three sub- mitted to her, Helen Smith's was chosen after enthusiastic balloting in the auditorium on Feb- ruary 16. XVe had a very nice Christmas Party in Room 1, Friday, December 22. The room was decorated with pine and electric lights. A trimmed tree with gifts under it stood in front of the room. The entertainment was the singing of carols accompanied by Mr. Vlfhitmore playing his flute. Delicious refreshments were served and everyone received a gift from a classmate. The president called a meeting in Room 5 on January 23. A pennant and cap committee was appointed by the president with Vera Grosh as chairman. VVartime difficulties arose because we could not get a cut of ring emblem. However, we still hope to have pennants. A play com- mittee also was appointed by the president. After much reading and discussing, Old Docl' was finally chosen as our play to be given on April 12 and 13. Fom january Z3 until April, there was much scurrying and hurrying among the junior classmates. ln October we celebrated VVilliam Penn's birthday by having Section A of the United States History classes give an assembly program about his life and contributions. VVe are very well represented in the lield of sports again this year. Vtfith the exception of three seniors, our junior boys make up the Varsity basketball team. They also make up a ma- jority of the soccer squad. Our girls went out for hockey and basketball. After the many decisions and interesting events that have occurred this year, we hope to pass from jolly juniors to intelligent seniors. Thirteen

Fourteen SUPHUlf1Ul3lf MES HISTUHY President-Ivan Finfroek Vice-President-John Holhert Secretary-Doris Bowman Treasurer-Mary Ann Harsh Adviser-Mrs. Conrad On September 5, l94-l, we were ninety energetic sophomores climbing the steps of G. H. S. eager to begin our Hrst year in senior high school, VVe felt proud because we no longer were timid freshmen, and we still had the distinction of being the largest class in the high school. At our first class meeting we elected class officersg also Joanne Metcalf and john Sharp were elected to represent us on the Student Council. On December 22 we held Christmas parties in our home rooms, exchanged gifts, and sang songs. Our sophomore glee club took part in the Christmas program. During the year we took part in several assembly programs. On February 23, the girls in our class put on a program of dances to celebrate NVashington's birthday. The members of our class in the dramatic club put on a one act play, f'Miss Personality Plus. Our class was well represented in both girls' and boys' sports. VVith much enthusiasm we are looking forward to next year when we will be upperclass- men. However, our usual ardor has been sobered since a tragedy happened to a group of our classmates after the Greencastle-Camp Hill game. VVe extend our sympathy to the Faubel fain- ily and to the Ijitner family, and we hope for the other classmates a speedy return to health and classmates.
