Iunior Class History The fall of nineteen hundred and forty-four found sixty-three Fresh- men haughtily ascending the steps of dear old Delphos High. You err greatly if you think these pupils were mediocre. They were not. Each in his own respect was outstanding. Some found enjoyment in band and choir, while others delved in sports. During this year the noted Delphos High sextette was formed. It was not to be questioned that undoubtedly the Sophomore year was to prove very successful. A few pupils dropped from the ranks. Again we ventured into an unknown realm when we commenced our campaign for king and queen. Alas, to our disappointment, we were overcome by the opposing senior class. Sports became increasingly popular with the boys and it did not take Coach Koch long to dispose of the varsity letters, for the sophomores were ready to claim their share. Ah! Juniors! How long it has taken us to obtain that worthy goal. Sometimes we wonder if this is all true or only a dream. But memories of our class play, For Pete's Sake, and our class rings on our fingers verify our thoughts. This year our class has been quite active in sports, the National Honor Society, library, clubs, and music. We are not to be outdone for our motto says: Character is the cornerstone of all success. Doris Edds. Sophomore Class History In the fall of 1945 a bewildered crowd of boys and girls stepped across the threshold of Jefferson High to become a part of it-so much a part of it that it is now their second home. Yes, we are the crowd-the class of '49. It was not long until we found our footing on the bottom rung-with the seniors ruling the roostg but we were an ambitious group, determined to make the next four years the best years of our lives. The able officers of our freshman year were Charlotte Brenneman, presidentg Ruth Mox, vice-presidentg June Metcalfe, secretary, and Mary Lou McKee, treasurer. Our class was well represented in all organizations, athletics, band, and the honor roll. After the annual summer vacation the class of '49 came back to dear old Jefferson, a much more subdued, refined, and dignified group, known as sophomores. Officers elected were: president, Edgar Bonhamg vice- president, John Hittleg secretary-treasurer, Alice Limbrechtg and sergeant- at-arms, Jim Moreo. A class party was held April 15 and much enjoyed by all. The sophomore class is quite well represented in band and A Cappella Choir. Many of the boys participated in athletics. Edgar Bonham was presented the Varsity D, and several boys received numerals in football. Awards were also given in basketball and baseball. Many of the girls were active in G.A.A. and Y-teens, and four are librarians. One of the outstanding events of this year was the Carnival. The sophomore class chose Emogene Barnes and John Hittle as candidates for king and queen. The first two years of our high school career are over and we are looking forward with great pleasure to two more happy years. Ruth Mox. 25
