Bittegman D, Albright, D, Putnam, W Burgess S Glau Better late than never is the motto accepted by the sophomore class of l94l. This class formerly would have been in M. C. H. S. a year earlier, but due to the new system of schools in Mason City, removing the ninth grade from senior high into junior high, it arrived o year later. Perhaps because they were the first class to experience this change they have tackled the much waited for high school with a new zest which has given a very promising future to them. However, they did not escape the torture of their dear upper classmates. For after all such superiority just has to have an outlet somewhere and the sophomores proved to be the only ones eligible for the receiving end. As is true in any group there are those few who excel to a higher degree in different fields such as athletics, scholastic ability, music and debate. Football being the first sport of the year brought forth such sophomores as Bill Traub, Mike Tatone, Dick Bailey, Jim Sutherland, and Morris Macer to occupy positions on the varsity squad. Wrestling developed future champions such as Mike Tatone and Bill Traub. Mike already has won the light championship in his first year at M, C. H. S. Varsity got another taste of the sophomore skill during the basketball season with John Holmen and Jim Sutherland substituting for the big five now and then. The highest scholastic ratings of the class were held by Olin Storvick, Bob Powell, Ellen Moore, Bette Phelan, and Alan Pederson, all having reached the super-honor roll. Music offers a wide variety of opportunities to the students and many sophomores have taken advantage of them. ln the vocal department a lovely girls' trio has been discovered composed of Marjory Hall, Ellen Moore, and Eleanor Lewis. In the boys division Tom Jor- genson, Dick Moore, and Dick Burgraff upheld the honor for the boys. ln the band and orchestra first chair in the oboe section was secured by Barbara Johnson and first viola by Corinne Crawley. Both girls are in tenth grade. We will be sure and keep an eye on them in the future. Bette Grunz has proven one of the finest pianists at M. C. H. S. and willingly has accompanied soloists whenever called upon for help. lt's true that this class is the underdog, so to speak, but just watch their smoke in the fight for dear old M. C. H. Sl

These are just a few outstanding memories of the biology, mathematics and chemistry classes. Many days do we recall bolting out of classrooms at 3:lO only to be confronted with the unbearable stench of Mr. Boyce's laboratory where students and pupils alike assembled frequently to concoct their daily assignments. Good-bye, Mr. Chick responded through the M, C, H, S. corridors as our beloved coach and geometry teacher de- parted from our halls of fame. A new idea was introduced by Mr. Williams of the bugology department, as he conducted students to Ames to examine precious specimens, Social Science The economic problems of our country which are of universal interest were solved by the economics and sociology classes under the direction of their new instructor, Mr, Snyder. Whether our thirteen thriving colonies were justified in breaking their ties with our mother country is one of the many questions decided in Mr. Kee's debates. Constitutions of seedling nations were drawn up under the supervision of Mr. Crosen in each of his classes. Miss Pagenhart and Judge endured the trials and tribulations of training the sophomores.
