Earl Srnick OFFICERS Donald Wayne Boswell Dimple Elam Katherine Williams SOFA 0141 0l e CKCL65 .MJ i0I'g Yes, it was a beautiful September day in l942 when ll5 green fresh- men started their four years of lonely wandering and book lamina in the halls of A-I. At our first class meeting, guided and assisted by Mr. Loomis, our chairman dean, and his assistants, Miss Sauer, Miss Brickey, Mr. Naff- zigger and Mr. Askew, we elected class officers. Earl Smick was elected president: Donald Wayne Boswell, vice-president: Dimple Elam, secretary: and lim Williams, treasurer. As the saying goes, Those were the good old days. We had parties galore and were what you would call a peppy class. Several of our boys went out for various sports and met with fair success. At least, they were thought of as excellent prospects for the next year. ln l943, only 74 sophomores made their way back to A-I for another year of hard work. Some moved away, others went to work, and still others mar- ried and, sad to say, left us. lim Williams, treasurer for the year of 1942-43, was killed in an accident, and Charlie Navin was badly hurt. lim will always be remembered by his classmates for his sunny disposition, willingness to co-operate, and the fine attitude he had toward his class. This year, under the leadership of Miss Brickey, chairman dean, Mrs. Sivia, Miss Schwartz, Mr. Askew, and Mr. Loomis, We once again elected class officers. There Wasn't much need, however, because Earl Smick was elected president once again, Donald Wayne Boswell, vice-president, Dimple Elam, secretary: and Katherine Williams, treasurer. fSounds like a pretty neat racket, hul'1?l Several of our boys again went out for basketball and football. This time, they were generally successful, placing six on varsity teams. May will end one more year for our class, and each and every member will, no doubt, agree that this has been one enjoyable year for all. -24-
