f- @eo eso sf a ee ae SOPHOMORES ARO cut 0 aoa VIRGIL AUSTIN Vice President .... ARLENE PEARSON Secretary mae BETTY CHRISTENSON LE KEGSUCT® ohiarn austen EDITH CARLSON When the class from the Franklin meets the graduates from the Washington Junior High, there are many differences of opinion in regard to town sectionalism. The class of 1940 did not take long to overcome this problem of assimila- tion. They immediately started their high schoo! days out right by electing Virgil Austin to lead them through their first year in the senior high. Arlene Pearson was chosen to take charge of class meetings in case of Virgil’s absence and al- so to assist him with his executive duties. Betty Christenson was the official secretary and has as one of her duties keeping the minutes in or- der. Financial affairs of the class were very cap- ably managed by the treasurer, Edith Carlson. Faculty advisers of the class were Miss Laip- ple, Miss Lord, Mr. Engebretson, and Mr. Gill, who assisted them in carrying out their social activities. This year, for the first time, the sophomores were invited to the annual Christmas dance giv- en by the seniors. Such large numbers of them attended that they proved that they were able to carry their pep and enthusiasm even onto the dance floor. The hi-lite of their winter social season come when they gave a masquerade party in the school cafeteria on Friday, March fourth. Betty Spen- cer and Richard Halvorsen were awarded prizes for being the most novel dressed in attendance. For a money maker the class sponsored a movie on March ninth during school time and charged ten cents admission. The film was a comedy, “Sing ’m Back Alive,” with James Glea- son and Zazu Pitts in it. This proved a rather worthwhile plan for enlarging the class purse. Pearson, Austin, Christenson, Carlson Winding up their social activities, a majoiity of the class attended their spring picnic. Many of the sophomores enjoyed this event mcre than any other one of the year because of the fun they had. Scholastic honors of the year went to Betty Christenson, Leno Friday, and Geraldine Erick- son who made the “A” honor roll several times. There was certainly no lack of athletic talent in the class. The varsity football squad was bol- stered by such sophomores as Byron Viellette and Carl Englert, who played as regular guard and tackle respectively. Norbert Novotny and Winton Hubbard both saw a lot of action on the ends. The Warriors’ tournament cage squad of ten men had two sophomores on it. They were Carl Englert, who saw much action as guard, and Clifford Alward, speedy forward. Other sophc- mores who played on the first squad during the season were Norbert Novotny, Gilmore Laur- ence, Swede Nelson, Winton Hubberd, Jack En- right, and Julius Twist who were members of the 1938 “B”’squad which boasted such a good record. When the high school operetta, “H. M. S. Pin- afore” was presented by the A Cappella Choir, two well known sophomores, Geraldine Erickson and Clark Crust played leading roles in the cast. The boys’ and girls’ choruses in the production were also made up of many sophomores. The class has a record to be proud of for their first year in senior high school. If they maintain their ardent interest in such fields as scholar- ship, service, athletics, and music, they will be able to boast that the class of 1940 surpassed any other class in the history of the school.
