UNUSUAL PROJECTS MADE BY BIOLOGISTS Near the close of the school Year the sophomore class officers reviewed the achievements of their class during the past year. They remembered how excitedly they, no longer in fear of upperclassmen, had entered the building September 15 to ex- plore the new class rooms and the gym- nasium, to inspect the Freshies, and to meet the new members of the faculty. Mr. Wylie had assigned them to home rooms in the new addition with Miss Gross, Miss Ketfer, and Miss Gregg. their advisers. Their class projects had been both un- usual and worthwhile. Kenneth Buell pre- sented to the biology laboratory the skele- ton of an owl which he had mounted. Other excellent examples of sophomore skill were Hill Dice's turntable and William Lohr's incubator thermometer. While the class was studying the Elizabethean thea- tcr, Junior Flack had constructed a replica ot' the Globe. They admired Eddie Strick- ler's minature castle, carved from soap. Mrs. Urch could always expect nearly per- fect Latin tests from Margaret Overcash and Glea Synder. Reviewing the year's athletic events, they recalled that William McCollV. Victor Hantz, Kenneth Buell, and Junior Snyder had received coveted L's for their football performance, and that Bill Shirey had prov- ed a capable manager. Sevrn sophomores on the varsity basketball squad had given their class a larger representation than that of any other class. During a Rifle Club match with Indiana, Robert Jenkins had the highest score with 99 points out of a possible 100. Nancy Jean Breniser and June Mimna were two of the best sharp- shooters among the girls. Page Twenty-five . . Talented Sophomores KENNETH BUELL ......

BILL CHRISNER .................. President WILLIAM MELVILLE ......., Vice President ELLEN GRIFFITH .... ..... S ecretary CHARLES DONATO .... .... T reasurer Three More Years, Frosh . . LEADERS DISCOVERED AMONG FRESHMEN Final exams are here and gone. No more green freshmen, no more babes in the woods. they're sophomores now. What a year it's been! But the homeroom tutors, Mr. Rushworth, Mrs. Urch, Mr. Pershing, and Mr. Godshall. cucceeded in steer- ing them through the school year without mis- hap-a worthy accomplishment. That much dreaded initiation finally arrived. --- Step up to the stage, please - What size are your shoes? - Who's your favorite girl friend? - Take your song-book, turn to page fifty-two, and give us a solo, - were only a few from the barrage of questions and orders which were Hung at them on that eventful day. Their dramatic ability was soon proved in two successful assembly plays under the direc- tion of Mrs. Urch: Great Caesar, in which they attempted to portray a group of young people staging Julius Caesar, and False Pretensesf' another comedy, which emphasized the folly of misrepresentation of facts. From their class Margie Graham and Ellen Griffith were selected as talented members of the Cecilian Chorus Quartet. Almost every freshman found a club to his liking. Especially did they prefer the Rifle, Young Fellows, Library, and Model Airplane Clubs, the Band, and Orchestra. They thanked the juniors for conducting dancing classes where green freshies might learn to waltz and two-step. Much valuable athletic material was discovered in this class. Chrisner, Donato, Melville, Kole- sar, Nemath, McLean and Malkoch were mem- bers of the football squad. Basketball, an in- novation at Ligonier, became one of the chief attractions. The varsity, cut to fifteen members, included three freshmen, Captain Donato, Chris- ner, and Kozar. With the help of Miss Dickin- son's algebra, they decided that the freshmen were responsible for twenty per cent of the team. Class and home room basketball was also popular among both boys and girls. The babes in the woods are no more. They wonder what it will be like to assume the posi- tion of capable sophomores, however, they doubt if their experiences next year will be more novel and exciting than those of their first happy year in Ligonier High School.
