But you have a Latin teacher who is tops. She endears herself to you with things like You people are so noisy or jim, put that chair down. English is required and you find that an interest in a certain New York nine is cagey, but you learn too, that you are graded objectively, that you're wasting your polish on the teachers' apple. You are indoctrinated in typing, When you become secretary to the 'President . . You have enthusiastic participation in the athletic pro- grams, Class of '63, often being represented by more boys than any other class. Problems arise, however, for three Holcomb football players. Practice clothes have to be washed and the practical solution is a coin wash. .If an IBM machine is complicated, operating a washing machine is beyond human comprehension for a male. In the first place they need dimes. The dimes are procured and spent . . . on the soap three husky football players forgot . . . Ever notice how dirty some practice uniforms were? Larry Allison seems amused as he ex- amines the record album used in French I class to help students in the pro- nunciation of new French words. Where is Quemoy? asks jon Parks and Carl Yocum in world history as they watch Bonita Prewett locate it on the map. Sonia Benson offers them an article about the island. i I5

l L 'T' ii l Sophomore class officers Carol Birkland Qsecretaryj, Edward Wright fpresidentj, Mary Hintzsche ftreas- urerj, and Jeanne Cham Qvice-presidentj, are preparing decorations for the Frosh-Soph Party. Edward Wright moved away early in the school year and Jeanne Charn became president. This is your sophomore year, Class of 1963! August 31, 1960, 162 students register and are now officially sophomores. 105 of these are boys and right away it looks like an interesting year. You enroll in typically sophomore subjects such as biology. Remember these words from that noted personi- fier of the anopheles mosquito, You don't know beans when the bag is open! ? With great courage and forti- tude, you tramp through thickets and across creeks, thistles in your socks, pollen in your nose, a butterfly net in one hand, Guide to the Ifzrerlr under your arm, and you in the midst of this misery and paraphernalia trying to catch insects. You survive dissecting of frogs and seven familiar words of Mr. Cooley, Take out a half sheet of paper. You slave through geometry. Strange, it seems as though in every class there is either the student who can't do problems the book's way but must devise his own method or the clever one who sets up beautiful proofs and verifies them by No particular reasonf' or It has to be! It's improbable that there will be a Latin Il class to rival the one you were part of. What other class has a Sherman Werdin who translates amicus bonus Qgood friendj as goody Buddy, quis agit? fWhat's going on?j as What's the gig ?', and the superlative of good as Like tremendousf' When asked to look up the meaning of the abbreviation S.P.Q.R. QSenate and the Roman Peoplej, students came with small profit, quick

Vrficcs gram af- 2700-Distant Fas! Haunt fudenfs A voice from your athletic past, sophomore, your frosh-soph football coach, Hurry on, boys! and your cross country coach, O.K., you birds! A petite miss engulfed in a huge sweatshirt recalls, You see, I was going to be ready for P.E. early, then the fire alarm rang and I had on this sweatshirt that came to my knees and I ran outside and . . Need more be said? Sophomores are in fine arts classes. Here is a voice from their past. I wear a bow tie because it stays out of my soup. He also wears his coat collar up, hat brim down, writes letters to newspapers, and was caught by a candid camera deeply engrossed in a comic book. You lead many extracurricular activities in participa- tion, including the band department with 36 members. When the marching band took part in the NIU home- coming, one baton twirler had trouble with the zipper on her band uniform, but later jack Locl-:ridge proved chiv- alry is not dead by presenting her with a padlock to avoid any future mishap. A lifeless zipper was not the only casualty. A naturally enthusiastic, do-anything-on-a-dare athlete was trying tricks on some of the gymnastic equip- ment at the Northern field house . . . Dave Snyder marched that afternoon with black thread laced up the back of his band pants. Bill Halsey, a student in Mr. Yenerich's first hour geometry class, explains why two triangles are con- gruent, while Nancy Crocker, Mary Dutcher, and jim Fenwick, absorbed in the discussion, gaze avidly from their desks. Connie Posorske and Bruce Gunn are separating the weeds from the composites in Mr. Cooley's' fourth hour biology class.
