Sophomores Return The sophomore returned to WHS this fall still bubbling with the noisy enthusiasm characteristic of their freshman year. They started the year off right by winning first place with their We’re Armed for Victory” Homecoming float. Though there seemed to have been some discrepency with the total cost limit. Throughout the year both sophomore girls and boys made outstanding performances, the girls with their hilarious ‘Judy’ skits and the boys in their basketball and wrestling matches. Fund raising projects have been the main goal of the class. Heading the list were sock hops, bake sales, raking leaves, and car washes. Following the last home basketball game with Syracuse, the sophomores sponsored a sock hop. The highlight of the evening was a “solo” by Garnet Manstedt who received a standing ovation. A quick lunch of punch and cookies supplies some “get-up-and-go” for this active sophomore during a combo break. J. Simmerman B. Slosser S. Smith L. Sorenson T. Stromberg R. Sullivan R. Sutton N.

Trials And T ribulations Along with all the joy and happiness that comes with winning first place, there was a little sadness on the night of October 12. The sophomore’ssix foot blue and gold octopus float became drenched by an unexpected thunderstorm the night before the Homecoming parade. A weiner roast was also planned for the evening, but was cancelled because of the rain. The main part of the float was built at Debbie Dorothy’s and the smaller details, such as the five foot long arms of the octopus, were made in the basement of the Caryn Ericson home. A few girls bravely battled the storm, and guided the wet octopus to a new location where it could be repaired. The girls turned blue, not only because of the cold but because the crepe paper was wet and ran onto their clothes and skin. Coats, sweatshirts and tarps were thrown over the float to keep it from getting completely soaked. Nearly the entire float had to be restuffed. Their spirit remained high though, and throughout all the confusion, sadness and wetness of the evening, the sophomores pulled through with another first place ribbon. E. Makovicka G. Manstedt S.
