Svphomvrc year Last spring johnny and Mary were sitting in their junior high school classrooms, filling out their program cards for the fall term.

Hillite, for both had become sophomores of the Arthur Hill High School. At first the new school was awesome, but soon they found old friends and made new ones. Later they entered into school activities and became accustomed to the ARTHUR HILL WAY of doing things. They discovered that there are two courses of study which can be chosen at Arthur Hill: the college course and the non-college. Col- lege-bound Hillites are required to have two majors and two minors in academic fields. Three years of a subject constitute a major and two years a minor. The fields from which majors and minors may be chosen are science, language, social science, mathematics, and English. As sophomores, johnny and Mary found that no matter which course they had chosen, they were required to take Eng- lish, gymnasium, and art of living. in English the first semester, johnny and Mary wrote tall tales, character sketches, stories of their experiences, studied grammar, and passed their spelling requirements, while in the second, the emphasis was on vocabu- lary and literature. Mary, with girls' gym students, practiced skill tests intermingled with a volleyball tournament at the beginning of the term. Basketball became the main interest during the middle of the year, while the spring months found the girls playing softball, in- side the building or out, depending on the weather. With the aid of squad leaders' and coaches' commands, johnny quickly whipped himself into shape. Based on calisthenics and running, the idea of the program was to build better bodies and at the same time make gym interesting. -johnny and Mary took art of living. ln In second year Latin class, SHIRLEY ROBY points out Italy to MARY ELLEN TURNBULL and SARAI-4 HOLMES as RICHARD LYNCH, RICHARD ALSGAARD, and RAY POPE watch. In geometry, JO ANN MEI-IL, SHIRLEY HARGER, DONALD KERR, and RUTH ANN FARRELL construct geometric figures on the board. 18 LEGENDA

In ci sophomore English class, RICHARD HOWELL reads a report. Sophomore boys do colisthenics in the physical fitness class. these all-boy or all-girl classes students oriented themselves and discussed vocations, social adjustment, and etiquette, at home, in public, and on a date. Adding something new to the course, junior and senior girls, in co- operation with faculty, taught dozens of sophomore and junior boys to dance. Although they previously did not know a duodenum from a gullet, or the pelvic bones from the humerus bones, johnny and Mary became interested in their biology class. In addition to studying declensions and verb conjugations, Latin classes enjoyed mak- ing special projects such as miniature repli- cas of Roman life, compiling a scrapbook, fashioning puppets and dolls, and reading such books as Ben Hurn and The Robe. ln typing, SHIRLEY MASON, ROMAINE BOROWIAK, BEVERLY HARTMAN, ELEANOR GOUDI, DONNA BROWN, and SARAH LOIACANO are preparing 'lor speed tests. In homemaking class, SHIRLEY HUNTER, JENNIE McicMlLLEN, GLADYS CHAP- MAN, and LOIS WYNES are basting and cutting garments. 1946 Christmas cards, colored church windows, and intricately designed notebooks, are a few of the projects made by geometry stu- dents. In this course johnny and Mary learned about ratio, proportions, and scale drawings. Current events were studied with more perspective by students who obtained back- ground through the study of World History. johnny and Mary learned in geography the makeup of the earth and the distribution of the wealth, natural resources, population, and habitation of its peoples. A non-college student may select geography as a science. Typing students, most of whom were sophomores, were able to dash off fifteen words a minute while second semester groups learned the proper typing of business letters and increased their speed to twenty-five words a minute. Typing 4 students should reach a speed of forty words a minute. Boys as well as girls took advantage of the opportunity the course in homemaking offered. They learned how to choose their clothes wisely, buy economically, make and mend clothes, and practice skill in selecting, arranging, and caring for their homes. Mechanical drawing and industrial shop offered the student preparation for industries or hobbies. Sophomores found in other electives such as speech, music, journalism, art, and agricul- ture, two to six semester sequences where natural abilities and interests lead johnny and Mary into projects that may prove profitable hobbies or vocations. In art class, BARBARA JOHNSON, ANITA DABBERT, SHIRLEY STEINERT, ROSE- MARIE KRAVVCZAK, JANE SCHNELL, MARIE KASSIN, PAT TERRIAN, ONALEE TIETZ, and GLORIA DURN, try their hands at sketching. his student musicians. ln first band, MR.
