September saw the Iuniors trudging back to school. They arrived and were greeted by the smiling faces of eight new teachers. Two of them were to leave only a few months later, and one of the two being their lovable, laughable, home room teacher, Mrs. Stone, who knew them as they actually were and not as they seemed. They began their prospective career of entertainment with a hayride which proved to be very interesting to the casual onlooker. They Finally convinced the keeper of the park to let them stay beyond hours in order to eat. By the way, it was on this occasion that they IHCI Chuck. Twice the Iuniors fused their talents together and came forth with more vim and vitality than even the best comedian could offer in their assemblies. The firsl of these was of the vaudeville type and was strongly censored by their advisors The second was Dickens' Christmas Carol in which lim Ark held the lead ing role as Scrooge. The typical junior superiority wa: displayed when Doris Shellhaas cap tured the county award in the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. Tha Iuniors, too, contributed five of the ter varsity players to Bryan's successful ant ellicient ball club. As to the building of the financia system of their little organization, pol corn, coke and potato chips rolled ix several dollars, and the fifty-fifty danci was not to be forgotten. Following twi of the basketball games, dances wer given, proceeds of one was given to th Infantile Paralysis Fund. Last but nc least, we added a goodly sum to ou bank account by selling magazine which gives added zest for promotiny the annual Spring Prom.

Sophomore Class History We came to Bryan in September 1941, very green butwith a firm determina- tion to drive as many teachers to in- sanity as possible. The first teacher to try to curb these desires was Mrs. Grace Lacey. She made little headway as we were strong minded, so we moved on to the eighth grade with Miss Elizabeth Seufer as adviser. Miss Seufer worked hard on us with a little more success, and alter passing our eighth grade tests we became Freshmen. Fearing it would be dangerous to put us in a room with old and not too stable desks they gave us the newly furnished laboratory for our home room and Mr. A. E. Black for our teacher. By this time we had learned to look down on causing trouble and running around, so we merely in- dulged in mild hysteria occasionally over Maurice Pemberton and Don Rib- let. Fearing a change in atmosphere would be too great a shock for our sen- sitive dispositions, we again have the laboratory for home room. This year we have Mrs. Cochran for our home room teacher and with her help we gave a very successful Halloween Dance at the beginning of the year. Mrs. Cochran has been so nice to us that we have given up trying to drive teachers crazy, and lace the future with a desire to make the best ol' our opportunities. -CAROLINE WINGFIELD SOPI-IOMORES First Row: Eugene Hamilton, President: Richard Anderson, Vice President, Marjorie Semler, Secretary, Barbara Henn, Treasurer.
