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.

Dear Diary, 1 didn't know many of the freshmen who entered High School on August ill, 194S. Seeing Mary Jane, one of their group, 1 asked her to help me get acquainted with her classmates. She gave me these pictures of them: Inset; Jim Clark, David Dobson, RIary Deering, Shirley McCabe, Larry Rainey First Row: Roy Scott, Hilda Janssen, Tommy Fay, Dale Clow, Dorothy White, Del-mar Bentley, Richard Gallivan Second Row: Jerry Stanton, Raymond Hardimon, Norman Dnel, Peggy Goodman Third Row: Loretta Morris, Paul O’Hara, Dorothy Koebel, Bill Letner Fourth Row: Jim Drawhon, Wanda Depew, Bill Mundy, Carrie Ard Fifth Row: Bob Brewer, Virginia Gundy, Lulu Hinton, Harold Skeels Sixth Row: D'Arbra DeFore, Stanley Pettyjohn, Jack Kirwin, Carol Noe, Jerry Star-key, Charles Tucker, Bruc-a Hannon Seventh Row: Margie Lawson, Jim Born, Lefern Coffey, Frank Swaim, Norma Fom-belle, Jack Porter, Lorene Mulvaney Eighth Row: Donald Perry, Eilene Foran, Jim Day, Lois Bradley, Bill Vanatta, Fred Sebens, Bob Romack It seems as though the first thing they did was to elect officers. Jim (’lark was elected president, with David Dobson, viee-preideut, and Mary Deering, secretary-treasurer. At the same meeting they elected Shirley Dabe and Larry Rainey as Student Domicil members. Their class advisors were Miss Swaim and Mr. Smith. The energetic sophomores sponsored an all-school party a few weeks later in honor of the new “Presides. I was at the party and the freshmen appeared to have a lot of fun. Ilefore the “after effects of that party were over they became serious on the matter of electing a candidate for Homecoming queen. Shirley McDabe was elected and she made a very attractive attendant. The freshmen were thrilled when they heard the news of the February Formal. They were a little nervous at first but after they found out the details and were given a little advice they calmed down. Any of us at the dance could tell they had a swell time. I found that it didn't take the freshmen long to become a part of Dement High, for they entered into activities with zest. Most of the girls took part in (I. A. A. and F. H. A. Some of those girls attended play days and rallies. The boys (altered F. F. A. and helped sponsor the F. H. A.-F. F. A. party. I saw the freshmen boys in football, basketball, baseball and track. Decause of such a good showing their first year as high school citizens I'm sure they will be a successful group in the future years.
