'R ' ' ay, br e Sophomores to you, 3 Qfessor - ig? ! x'rg!That they have matured f e fastf year? is quite evident from their ' dorni iifi elechng David Martens as Presi- TS',ff.1'diT'ggfliliIiior Hildebrand as Vice President: Polly Graham as Secretary, and jay Huston as Treasurer. You should have been at our wonderful Jack O'Lantern party, I'm sure that there would have been enough food for you, too. Ah-ha! Here are two of our beauties: blonde Helen Nicely and dark-haired Virginia Tiberi. Ch! That must have been Edith Kennedy dashing down the hall. She's only late three mornings out of five a week. Who's that blonde? Why, thats our tapping marvel, june Bair. Do you see those six agile specimens of youth in the center of that circle of feminine admirers? They're our basketball heroes- Offiicers-Hilderbrand, Huston, Graham, and ivlartens,--leave school after planning a Halloween party. Meets the Ga 5011115 Prunyi, Nicely, Mathews. Scherban, Toth, Shultz, Zimmerman, and Carns. We have several musically-inclined students, too- David Martens and Anna Ketty represented us at Southwestern Orchestra. Now let's take in a classroom scene. Theres Nancy Hudock at her part-time job of teasing jay Huston. Theres the miracle man, George Stanko, who astounded Miss Evans by making the only perfect paper in one of our hardest Biology exams. Chuck Nioonly, the one furiously biting his finger- nails, almost had a nervous breakdown play- ing Master of Ceremonies for the Room 8 assembly program, In the way of assembly programs, honors go to Room 6 for carrying on. even though half of their performers were absent, to Room ll for its originality, and to Room S for the best. all-round entertain- ment. You never saw a better Romeo and ,Juliet than Bill l-loH'man and Nancy lvloses. That talkative miss making all the noise is Louise Manon. Let me take you to our Werld History classes where our instructors, Miss Gross and Mr, Grega, occasionally burst forth into song. Here let us drop into Room 2 to see our Soph. Shylock dramatizing The Merchant of Venice . That serious looking girl by the fountain is Katherine Graham, one of the brightest students in this brilliant class. Lets look out of the window a moment. That young fellow seems to be having some trouble with his double-duty car. It's Law- rence Clark, and his two jobs are getting the motor started and then keeping it going. Certainly, Professor Ligonier, our Sopho- more class is as progressive as any of the classes. Gur May Dance will long remain a pleasant memory to every student. Our class party in the fall was another of our reel-letter days. Were eagerly looking for- ward to many more good times in the next two years, as we await our opportunity to become upperclassmen and leaders in our school.

Bill Average Introduces the juni Early in September Bill Average returned to school where Euclid, Washington, Shake- speare, joan of Arc, and many other notables were waiting. This fall Bill brought with him johnny, a newcomer. Everything was new to johnny, so Bill was busy answering questions. Who are those four students who are working so hard? That studious young man is Bob Shaffer, our President and ver- satile athlete. The one with the red hair is Corky Wilt, Vice-President and a star on both hardwood and gridiron. The girl with the winning smile is Ruthe Shoup, Trea- surer. The handsome young man with the broad shoulders is Louis Takacs, Secretary and a star in both football and basketball. In the auditorium johnny noticed two boys moving chairs and music stands, Thats Bill Zurich and Maurice Simon, stage managers, Bill explained. Come up to the locker room and l'll introduce you to john Weber, athletics manager. Since johnny was interested in the girls, too, Bill took him to see Virginia Krichbaum, Dorothy Griffith, and Edith Penrod go through their drum majorette routine. He also learned from Isabella Trautmann, team manager, how Miss Keffer had awarded letters to the junior girls who were the school champions in both volleyball and basketball. After complimenting the girls on their good work, he moved on down the hall to the Chemistry Room. Whats going on here? johnny asked, 'AWe're making taffy. Come on and help, and johnny was soon in the midst of things. Having pronounced the taffy delicious, he crossed the hall to the American History class where he noticed john Deeds standing in front of the class with his features contorted as if in pain. He was alarmed but Bill put him at ease by ex- plaining that john was only giving one of many oral reports. Later they met Gloria Gallo, cheerleader and associate editor of the yearbook. Bill said, There are Virginia Pershing and Roland Glenn, who had leads in the class play, Dont Take My Penny . Leona Rager was in charge of ticket sales a' ' . for the play, Alla ggylf ' .,, -...

He was anxious to meet Ray Nanassy, sports writerg Wilda Serena, artist, Steve W'uchina, assistant business manager, and Don Eicher, ,Iunior representative on the yearbook. johnny was surprised to find that we held dances in the gym and when we held our Prom he was left speechless. The gym was transformed from bare walls and bleachers to an Argentine scene. ln the dimmed lights, with the orchestra softly playing Tonight W'e Love . the Seniors danced their last dance as high school students and the juniors danced into their places. Class officers'--Wilt, Shoup, Shaffer, and Takacsw- rehearse a reading try-out for Dont Take My Penny.
