SOPIIOIDOTC ASPOITS As seventh graders this class showed great promise in sports ability. Both girls and boys en- tered in the intramural contests and showed possi- bilities of becoming star players. Each succeeding year they have improved and this year the im provement was marked by the fact that there were six sophomore boys on the varsity basketball squad and seven on the football team. The girls have rated highly in all their ath- letic endeavors. They were very active in G. A. A. and held second place in girls intramural basket- ball for this year. Roger Howe, Dick Berky, and Norman Beidler represented this class on the high school tennis team. As in their other sports activities the Sopho- mores made a good showing' in track this year and still more is expected of them next year. ACTIVITIES Blue Triangle G. A. A. Athletics Debate

Class Talents Noise, excitement, rushing, pushing-this is the manner in which most seventh graders make their appearances. Our class really had the ability to create these, perhaps because we were the largest class ever to make an entrance to Bluffton High. Once organized, we seemed to settle down to some of the requirements of the school. Each 'year we have participated in more activi- ties. There are seven of us in the Junior National Honor Society, proving that we rank in scholar- ship. Some of our girls are active Girl Reserves, helping on committees and taking part in programs. Others are learning the art of first class home making in the F. H. A. organization. Our boys be- long to similar clubs, Hi-Y and F. F A. We show talents in music and art. Many of the chairs in band and orchestra are filled by Sophomores. The A Capella is composed of a large number of us. A few girls are noted for their artistic ability and under the direction OI Mrs. Lantz won several prizes at Farmers' In- stitute. OFFICERS Norman Beidler . . . President Carol Bame . . .

Have Varied Activities Although our class, consisting of 46 students, is the smallest in the school, we Freshies are very much interested in its activities. Athletics is now the principal interest. There are a number of our boys who participated in basketball and football. Two of the very capable managers for the teams are freshmen. The girls belong to G. A. A. and have taken part in the intramural sports. That acrobatic cheerleader is none other than a freshman lassie. Speech, debate, and music, both instrumental and vocal, are some of the talents executed by our class. The Freshman Debate Team is espe- cially to be noted. We all belong to at least one of the many or- ganizations of the school, such as Blue Triangle, G. A. A., F. H. A., and reporters for the Cutlass. A halloween and a valentine party were the two outstanding entertainments of the year. These were supervised by Mr. Howe, our adviser. Barbara Triplett Doris Dunifon Back row--S. Bqxlgholder, E.
