Sparked by this nucleus and competently counseled by the Class Advisor, Mr. Harris, the Ninth Grade forged ahead into exciting and unexplored fields of ac- tivity: Latin l and II, English I, Algebra, and too-Ancient History. Some academic pio- neers became distracted, lifting weights, pi- loting gas-powered guided missiles, build- ing atomic reactors, and operating under- cover, inter-dorm, telephone companies. Freshman activities were not always re- stricted to procrastination, the more enter- prising individuals potted and peddled palm trees or retailed raisins. Still others catered to hotdog-hungry football fans, treasuring up the profits for a class gift. . . or a party. Midway through the year, as the school moved, so moved the' Freshmen: they freed themselves from cramped quar- ters in the Tin Shacks and the McMillin House, no more three to a room. Those Freshmen athletically inclined galloped over the soccer field, fumbled footballs, cavorted around the basketball and tennis courts, popped flies, and high-lumped, pole-vaulted, or shot-put. Few extracurricu- lar activities would have functioned as happily and efficiently had there been no Freshmen to fill the ranks. Their interests led them from electronics to tropshooting as they readily contributed everything from pre-amps to clay pigeons. ln class or out of class the Freshmen had fun, sort of, in care- free training for their Sophomore year.

Pride of the Study Hall, thorn in the side of the Seniors, the grubbiest and grandest of them all were the Sophomores. The forty- three individuals molded themselves into a strong, high-spirited unit, and accom- plished much in fields scholastic, athletic: and extracurricular. ln the formal classroom they studied the structure of living things under Messrs. Alf and Webb. . . And, gentlemen, there was life! They learned the meaning of ie regrette beaucoup, se habla espanol, and carpe diem in their sev- eral language classes. They delved into the mysteries of trigonometry and literature, and learned to use correctly their newly- gained driving licenses in Driver Education. The class excelled in athletics, and con- tained lettermen from every sport. A pugi- listic group, Sophomores could be found in every fray and Alamo raid. Occasionally they were known to have stomped grapes in the Fat Man's room. Time remaining to them after demerit hall, sports, and studies was used to join almost every activity on campus. They were particularly well-repre- sented in Art Club and the Choir. Singing and guitar-plunking were two of their fa- vorite recreations. Bicycling, hiking and hi- fi also took their toll of hours. Sophomores attended the dances en masse, and on va- cations they rushed from parties to dates and back, while leaving time for other ac- tivities. ln school, however, they were the sleeping giant not so sleeping, as one faculty member called them. Mr. Perry was advisor to the Sophomores.
