Jo Love Miss Holmes The Junior Class, in addition to having the two tallest boys in school and the only set of twins, can lay claim to the doubtful distinction of being the only class in school in which the girls out-number the boys two to one. Whether this is an advantage or disadvantage is hard to determine. However, it can be said that the class has been active. On December 18 the Juniors sponsored the Christmas Dance, “Rhapsody in White,” and it was a big success. On May 21 the Class held the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the graduates. In addition to these group events, the members of the class took active parts in music, speech, and athletic contests and proved beyond a doubt that they will be more than ready to step into the role of graduates, come another year.

Bob Meline David Ives Kay Love Danny Smith Mr. Quarton The Sophomore Class with its twenty-four members seemed to be athletically in- clined this year. Although there are only eleven boys in the class, one, Showalter, acted as athletic manager all year, and nine of the remaining ten were out for every sport. Swanson, Meline, Faulkner, and Helsdon were softball regulars; Swanson, Mel- ine, and Harding were on the Cross Country team; Swanson and Meline were on the varsity basketball squad; Henson, Harding, and Faulkner were regulars on the jun- ior varsity. The girls, not to be out done, put a mighty rugged GAA basketball team on the floor. Bontjes, Morrison, Tate, Sturm, DeFouw, Fasanella, Nelson, Stebner, Harmon, and Love were active in this sport. The Class of ’51 had varied interests, however, and took part in other school ac- tivities, social and academic. It can look back at the past year as having been a busy and successful one. THIRTEEN
