.S CLASS HISTORY ln the autumn of 1940 the class which will graduate in 1944 entered High School with many fears and misgivings, although going to school in this building promised to be very ex- citing after eight years of school in the grade building. We were a very much embarrassed group and the source of great amusement to the upper classmen as we wandered in and out of the rooms trying to find our proper classes. After a few days we became more conhdent in ourselves. We finally struggled through this year and were soon to become Sophomores. We felt very dignified as we gave up our seats on the side of the auditorium to the Fresh- men and moved on the center block. Our first business as Sophomores was the electing of of- ficers. Robert McKown was chosen as presi- dent and Iames Crooks as secretary-treasurer. The first real clay of our lives lso we thoughtl. We were no longer Freshmen and we looked forward to the initiation party. The party was a huge success except for the fact that the boys were not allowed to use the pad- dles which they had made. Now the girls could try out for Glee Club, and we were permitted to join the many other clubs such as the Speech Club, Tri-Hi-Y. Hi-Y, and G. A. A. This class had an experience which no other Sohomore Class had had before. We were be- ing drilled in air raids and some of our boys felt quite important as members of the Bomb Squad. We also did our part in buying Defense Stamps. ln preparation for the Gym Exhibition under Mrs. Lease, the girls enjoyed the acrobatics, al- though they often resulted in sore muscles and skinned knees. The Sophomore boys were also represented in the Exhibition. The Sophomore Class had no special activi- ties in Chapel and were not outstanding in social events, but it ended the year with a good scholastic standing.
