History of the Sophomore Class As freshmen we entered Homor High School with high hearts and quaking knees. Mr. Hansen, who was our first sponsor, had to put up with twenty-one of us. The first item on our agenda was election of officers, and Melvin Lauritsen, president, Rita King, vice- presidentp Marilyn Young, secretary, and Rodney Longwell, treasurer, emerged victorious. The fifth Friday after the beginning of school, we freshmen faced our doom. We were forced to submit to initiation and Kangaroo Court, which was enioyed by everyone but us freshmen. By this time football was well under way. The strong muscle men from our class who participated were Allan Jensen, Larry Jacobsen, Modris lakstins, Donald Baugous, Rodney Longwell, Melvin Lauritsen, Francis Cain, and Robert Krumwiede. The basketball season followed football and again Robert Krumwiede, Melvin Lauritsen, Larrylboobsen, Allen Jensen, Donald Baugous, Modris Lalcstins, and Rodney Longwell went bravely forward. The only class activity for our freshman year was a trip over to the Sioux City Public Library and Museum, and a picnic supper in Stone Park which was financed by our ignorance. You see, during English we paid one cent for each error in speech and we used this fund for the food for our picnic. Boyl Did we eatl We began our sophomore year with poor Mr. Hansen once more doomed to be our sponsor, but fate was good to him and he had only sixteen of us to put up with. Class officers were elected as follows: Melvin Lauritsen, president, John Punches, vice-president, Gary Honsen, secretary, and Donald Baugous, treasurer. Only one of the sweet sophomore girls, Betty Wilke, had the opportunity of being chosen cheerleader, but she did such a good iob that we are all proud of her. Our entertainment for this year was a trip to Sioux City to a movie, also a hayride and wiener roast which was a great success. It is customary to end the year with a schobl picnic, and needless to say, where there's food, there's sophomores. I3
