SGPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY September, 1940, produced a bumper crop of freshmen. It didn't take them long to adapt themselves to the complica- ted routine of high school, and after the newness wore off, and they were able to find their Way around the maze of class rooms with ease, they began doing the things that freshmen are suppos- ed to do: such as, throwing pa- per wads in study hall, using pins unlawfully, and placing tacks in undesirable places. However, their curriculum of English, Al- gebra, Science, Latin, Homemak- ing Manual Arts, and Agriculture succeeded in taming them down a bit. When they entered theiir Sophomore year, they had a good share of their liveliness'f removed from them. But they were still fully capable of adding their bit to the general mischief. Thlis year they hiad Worlad History, Latin II, Homemakingll, Geometry, English II, andBliology to contend with. They have had their share of names in the high school honor roll and have been well represented in the high school extraecurricular actlivities. In Music the class of '44 has contributed a great deal to the groups in school. It had a number of participants in the or- chestra, band, and both glee clubs, as well as some members in varlious small groups. They are unsually co-operative and willing to work - a remarkable trait for mere sophomores. In the field of athletics our promising youhlg' sophiomores have done very well, so far, and we're sure they will continue to do as Well or better in succeeding years. They are enthusiastic, and enthusiasm goes a long way in Wlinning victories for B.H.S. Slocially they have treated themselves to a get-acquainted scavenger hunt at the beginning of their freshman year. And they havebeen well represented at our all-high school parties. The first year they had as their class officers: Bob Jackson, president, Jimmie Nelson, vice- presidentg Dwight Perkins, sec- retray, and Genevieve Lambley, treasurer. This year they chang- ed their leaders to Jimmie Nel- son, president, Olive Pace, vice- president 3 Bonnie Friend, secre- tary, and Blill Congdon, treas- urer. The future is bright for these up-and-coming youngsters and we wish them the best of every- thing in their last two years in Bedford High school.
