JEAN BLACK During this year, 1942-43, the Junior class has lost three of its members to the armed forces: Fred Bennett and Emil DeVeau to the Navy, Leo Capez- zone to the Marines. We are all proud of these boys who are representing our class in the service of our country and we hope that we shall be seeing them soon. Our first social function of the year was a colorful masquerade held in observance of Hallowe'en. It was attended by many students dressed in the traditional grotesque costumes of the eve. The annual Junior Hop was finally held on Thanksgiving Eve. After much difficulty in getting started everything turned out successfully. This year's class added an innovation, a floor show presented by a fine cast of high school talent. Although the orchestra arrived late and the dance was slow in getting started, everyone who attended enjoyed the evning. This year, the class rings were selected early because of the fear of war short- ages. The class decided almost unanimously in favor of the ring chosen, and when the rings finally arrived near the end of February everyone was very much pleased. In football, the class was represented by Robert Jacobsen and Elmer Rus- sell, in basketball by John Koch and the veteran Jacobsen. 22

HAROLD GRIFFIN Secretary ..... . SHERMAN HAWLEY Contrary to the usual custom of getting class rings during the Junior year, the Sophomore class voted unanimously to get theirs this year. This action was taken early in November when it was it was learned that class rings might not be procurable next year. After much heated dispute and controversy, the rings were ordered and about the middle of February the rings, of a Victory Block design, arrived. The traditional St. Valentine Dance was the major social event of the S h ' op omore class. The dance was held on February 12, 1943 in the form of an Old Fashioned. Music was furnished by a local orchestra and the dance was an outstanding social success. The Sophomores began to take an active part in varsity sports this year as well as in intramural. On the newl ' d f b ll y organize oot a team, jack Simpson represented the class and in J. V. basketball the Sophomores had four members on the squad: Sullivan, Russo, Clark, and Whiteman. 23 A
