SOPHOMORES THE Sophs elected the following officers at the beginning of the year: Lucas Jensen, president; Mary Charlotte Vining, vice-president; Beatrice Johnson, secretary; Virginia Curtis, treasurer. At the C. C. C. during their freshman year they took in the largest profit of all the organizations and were rewarded with the Council's prize. This year they again presented their very successful melerdramer, and also had a shooting gallery. Charlie and Joe Cooper played on the varsity basketball and baseball teams while Bill Arntz won a letter in football. Curt Bradley, Gordon Belshaw. and Joe and Charlie (those Coopers again!) were outstanding in tennis. Jack Filgas and Dick Russell won letters in golf and track respectively. But not in sports alone were they active! Do you remember their peppy group at every school party?—also, the blow'' to one of the illustrious class members when it was learned that Junior High was to be excluded from high school parties? In speech work the class is especially outstanding. Bunny Hamper and Bob Hansen were on the varsity debating team; all three extempore speakers were Sophomores: and Beatrice Johnson won the declamation contest. The All-School Play had Joe Cooper (ah! the crook!), his accomplice. Duane Tower, and Mary Charlotte Vining among the cast. Representing the class on the Council were Lucas Jensen, Edna Mae Cordes. and Mary Wakefield. There is one Sophomore ''clique which seems to be making its mark in the world by the noise it is capable of creating—to be more specific, the Coopers.'' Goosie. Doc. Filgas. Curt, Murphy. Hansen and Loding believe the louder the merrier—and it seems true, too! The boys are not alone in this—oh. no!! Mary Charlotte. Betty Rose. Bunny, Jackie, and several others can't be stopped from tittering about that formal dance last Friday, etc., in spite of that threat of long assignments or a test! These girls are taking their first formal affairs in stride and do they love it! Also, we must mention Mary Charlotte, very active in the League (just ask Bunny about the card tables she’s collected, or Betty Rose about the crepe paper she's hung!) To hold such a gang in tow the administration has picked on none other than Mr. Ferris. Mr. Houck, and Miss Shaw, and we've heard no complaints of a lack of pep from any of them.

FRESHMEN THE Freshman Class hasn't had time to accumulate much history, but it is certainly making its presence felt. The officers are: Dick Kennedy, president; Bob Martin, vice-president; Virginia Carter, secretary; and Helen Stub, treasurer. The Class advisers for the year were Mr. Pfahler. Mr. Ockstadt, and Miss Skidmore. At the C. C. C. the freshmen showed the whole school up by raking in the largest profit and consequently, the prize— beginner’s luck, shall we say? Their financial secret of success was a penny arcade and a raffle of radio (How does it work, Clayton?). They're not behind in sports, either! Douglas Martin, Bob Weber, Harvey Sanders, and Dick Woods assured the school that leadership in sports will not be lacking in two or three years. Twenty-seven of the freshmen are rural students and seem to have adapted themselves to their new school life very well—especially Iris Wilcox. Doris Ingraham, and Mildred Vanderlip, who have been especially active on committees and kept up a good scholastic record. (Scholar Parsons, beware!) Betty Jean Christensen and Suzie Edsall made up half the yell leaders, and a peppy half, too! It must be the class is musically-minded!—at least when it comes to a check-up of the band and orchestra. Those following the baton of Mr. Robbins were: Donna Barlow. Virg Bowerman, Suzie Edsall, Audrey Griffith, Ruth Ann Griswold, Lorraine Hansen. Bob Hyde, Ruth Olsen. Genevieve Nicholas, Don Van Allen. Anna Mae Wooster, and Charles Wolverton. In electing representatives the class was wise —Iris Wilcox and Phyllis Tower on the Girls League Board, and Suzie Edsall and Phyllis Tower on the Council! 26
