Miss Scheidemantle Mr. Anderson Unsafe and lnsane On the second day ot September, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, the doors ot the great Zelie High were again flung open to all those interested in obtaining an education. Among those who passed over the threshold Were sev- enty-nine sophomores, their minds set on a dis- tant goal, which they may or may not achieve in the Spring. This class started their school term with a huge success. Among the many activities which they sponsored this year, the Chimney Sweep ranks right up in there with the best. The decorations were out of this World, and Mr. Maclds orchestra was simply divine. The fact that it Wasn't Leap Year didn't stop the girls one bit, when there Was Mistletoe around, although the boys didn't seem to mind it, especially Iohn Zajacks, although he claims to be a woman- hater.

Yes, our class is like a train but it is yet something else. As we sweep into the class- rooms and blow through the pages of our texts, lifting and carrying away bits of knowledge, we are as the March winds. On the other hand, we pick up loose dirt and scatter it about in great enthusiasm. Since March is not quite the best of spring and summer weather, we, too, being just luniors are not considered the cream of the crop. We have not long to wait, for the days are full for all of us. Yes, our class is like a March wind but most of all we are just teen-age human beings. To earn money we have done very little but the dances, and bake sale, and other events have been successful. Having fun along with work was carried out in our play practices. For the Forensic and Music Contest we worked togeth- er, aiming at top position. All the musical solo- ists were Iuniors, and five of us went further on in competition. Aside from a few hours of de- tention hall, broken windows, and just plain orneryness we have nothing of which to be ashamed. Lastly our class is like four little packages under a Christmas tree. Upon opening one, the hundreds of little pranks, bubble gum and ille- gal excuses fall out in a pile. Each symbolizes some jokes we played on each other at play practice, or on some unsuspecting teacher. An- other bursts with the rabbit's foot collection, four leaf Clovers, and horseshoes, and multi- colored paper we used at our dances. Tum- bling out in mixed succession, the articles in the third package would mark our many inter- ests. Small miniature paintings, racing musi- cal notes from tiny tonettes, small poems, bas- ketballs, and even animals would line the floor. About the most expensive and elaborate would be the fourth one, offered to the Seniors in May. lt would have a large banquet table in one lay er, an orchestra and sweet music in another. There would be taffeta and silk, roses and car- nations, ties on white shirts, all complete, wrap- ped in white paper, tied with purple and gold ribbon. It will be as our Prom offering to Sen- iors. We are hoping that next year's Iuniors will be as happy and that our Senior year will be as full as this one was. eflleanor Rodgers .J , ' 'F' N. Creeks, P. Smith, L. Iohnston, R. Pflug, D. Lotz, M.

Many of the teachers refer to our class as one of the best they've had, but of course that's what they tell all of their sophomore classes, but we do consider it a compliment, and agree that we have a fine class. tWe're not conceited, are we?l There may be a few jokers tpracticall around, but that's what makes our class all the more interesting. The members of our class are always ready to take part in school activities. The basket- ball team, football team, and the track team, are composed of many members of the sopho- more class who did much to bring victory to our school. We even have a member on the varsity basketball team. There are very few, if any clubs that you could name, which aren't partly composed of sophies. We also took part in Forensic events. And by the way. did you hear about our sophomore girls basketball team? lf you didn't, you should have. The cheerleading section of our school is made up of three members of our class. And too, what would the band do without the sopho' mores? The band and the choruses are greatly represented by us. Yes, the sophomores are everywhere, from the corner drug store sipping cokes, to the biology room disecting frogs. We now take you to one of the sophomore home rooms. Everything is so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, tif you gag everybody and stuff their ears with cottonj As we sit awaiting the bell to ring for dismissal, Miss Schiedemantel elect us to keep her company after school. ln order to have this privilege all you have to do is talk constantly to one of the persons sitting near you. As the bell finally rings, we leave and all thoughts of school are far behind until the next day, as we make a mad dash for the door. eShirley Zehner D. White, C. Gross, H. Sutch, D. Powell, R.
