After having spent one year in Sidney High School, they were well prepared for the day when they embarked on their Sophomore year. This year enthusiasm ran high between the Progressive and Independent party leaders of the class. A large number of candidates filed , for positions on the primary ballot. In the general elec- I tion, Dick Ayala was elected Governor, and Bev Weh- miller entered her second year as Lieutenant Governor. Katy Ells won the position of Secretary of State, and Eleanor Caywood was the successful candidate for Secretary of the Treasury. A great deal of experience had been gained in governmental matters during the first year in S. H. S., and with the the enthusiasm of the 1944 political campaign fading into the past, they were very well organized for another year of school. 21

Nineteen hundred forty three was a great year for the Class of 47-for they had more green freshies wandering around the halls of Sidney High School than had been enrolled in any class for several years. Although the newcomers came from country schools, junior high, and schools of other states, it did not take them long to fit into the spirit and routine of high school life under the direction of their sponsors Miss Bess Shires, Miss Dorothy Anderson, Miss Frances Webb, a.nd Mr. Louis Neuman. In a very short time they became organized and made their presence felt as one of the real live wire groups of S. H. S. This was largely due to their able officers: Dick Weymouth, Governor, Bev Wehmiller, Lt. Governor, Opal Thompson, Secretary of State, and Katy Ells as Secretary of the Treasury. Events of this year followed each other in smooth routine as the class was launched on the road to a successful high school career. Their spirit to help was readily shown by the excellent work y in the scrap drive, and many a Fresh- man's back was bent under the weight of paper as he helped his class collect and load it. Well-conducted Frosh dances showed their eagerness to get along with the other classes and to be accepted as a part of Sidney High School. Meanwhile a ready interest in athletics fostered a well-founded hope that they would, in later years, help carry the Maroon glory on the grid- iron and hardwood.

The outstanding achievement of the year was sponsor- ing the war stamp and bond drive with the aid of the All- American Club organized by the government class. They set up as their goal the sale of sufficient bonds to purchase a bomber which cost 9'p1'30,000. A well planned and extensive campaign made up of assembly programs and the posting of charts and pictures in the halls was coupled with the en- couragement of their sponsors-Miss Bess Shires, Miss Dorothy Anderson, and Mr. Louis Neuman. An Uncle Sam Booth was erected in the hall and students took turns sell- ing war stamps before school in the morning and at noon: Stamp corsages were sold at the all-high school carnival. As a result of all these combined efforts a total of S137,802.15 was raised. Then at last came that long awaited day when they registered as Juniors. At the fall election, Jim Wamsley, a newcomer, won the gubernatorial race, Katy Ells moved up to Lieutenant Governor, Ramona Peters became Secre- tary of State, and Bev Wehmiller, as Secretary of the Treasury, kept an eagle eye on the class finances. Every year the Juniors are haunted by the thoughts of raising money for the J unior-Senior Banquet, and during ROW 1-Eileen Reker, Dorothy Rezac, Herbert Rihn, John Sample. - ROW 2-Esther Schnell, Donnis Schoen, Kenneth E Scott, Raymond Sunderman.
