Dear Diary, Here it is nearly the end of the school year and yesterday 1 stopped to talk to George about class affairs. We talked mostly about the sophomore class of which I enjoyed hearing. He said that his class got right down to business and elected the following class officers: Bob Hodam, president; George Cavanaugh, vice-president; Lenore Royal, secretary-treasurer. They elected Nancy Postlewait and Mvrna Hord to represent them on the Student Council. 1 think they were pretty fortunate in having .Mrs. Hammond and Mr. Ilodam as class advisors. George said that twenty-seven sophomores started in September and that twenty-three remained in Ids class. Ronald Moreland moved to Oregon where he is now attending school. John Smith moved to Montieello and is now attending school there, and Delbert Clark and Kenneth Pettyjohn left school to work. All four of them left at the end of the first semester. The sophomores were a very active class (his year. I heard that they had representatives in all the extra-curricular activities. Some of the class members received letters for sports, and pins, medals and awards for other activities. I attended the sophomores' all-school party which was held on the night of November lo. The party was a grand success that included initiation of the freshmen, dancing, and last but not least, refreshments. While 1 was attending the Homecoming dance I saw Rebecca Strater as one of the Queen’s attendants. 1 understood that she represented the sophomore class and she certainly made a charming attendant. I think that now the sophomores know how to conduct their class activities very well and T am expecting them to be a very co-operative class when they reach their junior year.
