'Rhinehart Freshman Class This year the Freshman class got a flying take-off. Miss XXfinegarner guided and sup- ervised the freshmen through their new experiences in high school. The Student Council, in collaboration with the Walter Dill Scott Chapter of the Honor Society, sponsored a freshman-day picnic in May. A fcw of the freshman boys participated in the sports program. They all displayed a line, American spirit and true sportsmanship. Many members of the Freshman class enrolled in the music department of U. lligh. The chorus had in its num.ber many of these ambitious, young students who participated for enjoyment as well as for the prestige of their class. The freshmen were also well represented in the orchestra and band. Diiferent members of the class enrolled in the Dramatics Club, Rostrum, Home Economics Club, Cltzrimz, Art Club, and Chess Club. Under the direction of Miss Winegarner, the class held a meeting in February for the purpose of electing otlicers. A short discussion was held to delineate the qualities which a good othcer should possess. Mary Lou Stover was chosen to lead the class through the rest of the year. Gene Van Dyke was elected vice-president, and Sally Stretch was designated to assume the orhce of secretary. Sally started her work immedi- ately by taking charge of the nominations. The treasurer chosen was Kenneth Keighin. Marilyn Mette and Williain Benjamin were chosen to represent the Freshman class on the Student Council. As the school year closes, the Freshman class looks forward to its sophomore year at U. High. They sincerely expect it to be as successful as the past year has been.

Mary Brown, presidentg Gloria Sampson, vice-presidentg Phyllis Watkins, secretary, and Dr. Ellwood were the leaders of the class during the past year. Representatives for the student council were Gloria Sampson and William Popejoy. The junior class had many expenses to meet. Early in the school year they started to earn money by selling candy at the football games. They also took care of refresh- ments for the basl-:etball games. The annual junior play, A Day in the Sun, also helped to raise their budget. Most of this hard-earned money wentinto the annual junior-Senior banquet and prom, which was held on May 22, 1942. Several committees were selected by the juniors to plan this affair. Due to careful planning of these committees, it was a great success. The juniors selected their class ring and pin with great care. The ring contained, as usual, the high school emblem set on the desired stone. During their three years at University High School, the juniors have participated in many different clubs and activities. Among the outstanding ones are the music organiza- tions-band, orchestra, and chorus. The Chess Club has also been very popular with the juniors. Sophomore Class In September the sophomores held a meeting in the U. High study hall at which time they elected jane Limber, president, Wilmer Amacher, vice-president, and Beverly Taylor, secretary-treasurer. Ted Weldon and Bill Hogan were also elected as Student Council representatives. Since then the class has held regular monthly meetings. On November 28, 1941, a Snow Ball was held in Cook Hall. The Ball Room was decorated with balloons, streamers, and various snow scenes. Margaret johnson acted as chairman of the decoration committee with Connie Kinneman, jean Lamkey, Bill Hogan, Dean Creager, and Ted Weldon as her able assistants. Being a versatile class, the sophomores of University High have a good representa- tion not only in the various sporting and musical organizations of the school but also in the many clubs which function on the campus. As the school year of '41-'42 draws to a close, it leaves in its wake many pleasant memories. To the members of the Sophomore class are left the memories of an enjoyable and successful year and the hope that in the coming year they will be capable of taking up their new role as juniors. Miss Blanche McAvoy has carefully guided the class over many bumps, The sophomores take their hats off to her as a very efficient adviser.
