THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class met during the first part of the year and selected Em- mor Mullenhour as class president. The other officers were: Robert Keller, vice president; Mildred Loyer, secretary and treasurer; and James Lotz, social chairman. Although the class was small in num- ber, its members were very active. It contributed Jean Palmer, Lenore Bow- sher, Mildred Loyer, Donald Lehman, Carl Hegemier, and Wayne Crawford, to the band; Lenore Bowsher, and Helen Layton to the orchestra; Donald Lehman, Robert Keller, Harold Cox, Buddy Striff, and Donald Burtchin to football; and Mildred Loyer, Mary Donovan, and Louise Cooper to the girls ' basketball squad. About ninety per cent of the boys participated in the intramural program. Some of the girls were active in the Girl Reserve Club. A number of its members have been on the honor roll.

SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Billy McGough ----- Vice President Ernest Zuber ------ Secretary Odos Craig ------- President Jane Ward ------- Treasurer S O p H O M O R E S the orchestra and band was partly due to the aid of the Sophonnores, who fur- nished 15 members in the orchestra and 12 in the band. Dick Giffin served as drum major for the band this year. The Sophomores who were members of the Chief Staff were Hugh Downs and Rosemary Frost, assistant art editors; Mary Jean Archer and Betty Anspach, circulation managers; and Odos Craig, assistant business manager. Jane Ward, who won the title Miss Shawnee last year, represented the class again this year in the beauty con- test. Ernest Zuber and Robert Town- send were two of the end-men for the minstrels. The Sophomores are very proud of ihe fact that three of their members Betty Anspach, Mary Jean Archer, and Irene Hardin, by winning over other Allen County students in the annual elimination tests at Central April 20, represented Allen County at the dis- trict test in Bowling Green May 2. May the Sophomores continue their leadership in all school activities!

In the absence of Miss h aley, however, Betty Van Schoyck proved an able substitute. As a part of the series of chapel pro- grams, the class prepared and present- ed a scene from an old-fashioned school room. This was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding dramatic suc- cesses on the Shawnee stage this year. The social season was inaugurated by a party which was held around the Shawnee spring. Games were played, many wieners met their dooms, and several of the more aggressive boys, reported digestive troubles the follow- ing Monday. To further complete the social whirl, and to balance the class budget, a roller skating party was held in the latter part of April. As Caesar said, We came, we saw, but we have left our con- quering for our remaining three years. 27
