Miss Alice Colhurn and Joseph Noggle. and the rest of the faculty for making it a very pleas- ant memory. We extend our goodwill to the sen- iors who are graduating this year, and wish them good luck and happiness iu the future. Many of the Sophomores have taken an active part in the sports this year, and we trust that a number of them will he star athletes in the following years. Next year we shall endeavor to give an outstanding junior play, as well as retain the high scholastic standards ob- tained by many of the Sophomores this year. The co-operation of the class of '40 has been excellent, and we may surely look forward with anticipation to our Up the Ladder By our motto. “Ever ready , the class of '40 has lived up to its stand- ards and has made much progress dur- ing the last year. The officers for the class last year were: Bob Huber, president: Betty Sparks, vice president: Wilma Barnes, secretary: and Shirley Bring, treas- urer. Student council representatives for last year were: Bob Huber, Jimmy Spaniolo. and Gordon Cameron. Showing much in the way of athletic ability, the sophomores helped the school in the way of baseball, football, and track. Raymond Snyder and Bud Hammond received letters in football: Jimmy Spaniolo. Jack Mate, and Dale Shumaker received letters in baseball for two consecutive years. They also have Jim Tracy. Kenneth Bruce. Dorr Love. Raymond Snyder and Bud Ham- mond who were on the track team. The sophomores came in third in the inter- class track meet. Miss Berdice Lawrence, a missionary who came from China, gave a talk on China for the sophomore assembly. The mixer the class sponsored was the last of the year with Bob Cove fur- nishing the music. Decorations for the mixer were the class colors, maize and blue. Two of Charlotte’s present drum majors. Betty Sparks and Leone Had- dix. are sophomores. These two girls, in addition to the twirling of the ba- ton. have participated in many school activities by furnishing entertainment with their singing and dancing. The acting officers for this year were Vada Miller, president: Jimmy Span- iolo. vice president; Dorene Snoke, secretary: and Gordon Cheney, treas- urer. Jack Mate. Clarence Squibb. Bob Huber, and Phillip Frace, were the sophomore student council repre- sentatives. Joseph Noggle and Miss Alice Colburn were the advisers and contributed much toward the class' progress. The class of ’40 sponsored a party and dance for the class which was held in the old gymnasium on October 8. Carl Clark and his orchestra furnished the music. Doughnuts and cider were served after the dance. For the final social function of this year a picnic for the class is to be held at Pine lake. Olivet. June 17. Those attending will have for their recrea- tion swimming and dancing. A pot- luck luncheon is being planned. junior and senior years, holding the same feeling of cooperation. VADA MILLER, President of Class of ’40. Drum Majors The sophomore class is fortunate in having two drum majors, Betty Sparks, and Leone Haddix. Betty Sparks has been a drum major for two years and has entered two major contests, one at Michigan State college and one at Hol- land. Betty did not place at Michigan State, but at Holland out of eighteen contestants she placed fourth. “With two more years’ experience we believe Betty Sparks is going places, stated Bandmaster Ward Hynes. With two months of experience Leone Haddix placed third at a drum major contest at Michigan State. Leone also entered at Holland, but she did not place. Ward Hynes stated. With her ambition and talent she will become one of the finest drum majors Charlotte has ever had.

It was at this time that they began participating in the school activities under the leadership of Miss Sue Gillam and Wendell Anderson in their freshmen year. The officers chosen by the class that year were: Rosemary King, president: Josephine Lucke. vice president; Eldred Toutaut. secretary: Jack Fink, treasurer. Ade- laide DuBois and Murray Chandler represented the class in the council. Their second year found the class of ’39 making excellent progress along the line of school activities, sponsoring mixers, selling candy noons to make money for their treasury, etc. Also from this class comes a good share of the school’s outstanding athletes, sing- ers and dancers. Last year the class officers were as follows: Max Tullis. president; El- dred Toutant. vice president: Dorothy Snoke. secretary; Carl Rochester, treasurer. Dave Elies and Mary Nan Rowley represented the class on the student council. The class advisers for last year were Miss Alice Colburn and Wendell Anderson. The sopho- mores were up and coming in their in- tramural sports; for instance, the class placed third in basketball, and second in the interclass meet, losing by one point. Besides this there were more boys in the sophomore class that earned varsity letters than in any other class. This year under the advisership of Mrs. Alleen Combs and Kenneth Brown the group chose as their officers: Bob Ladd, president; Jo Jane Murray, vice president; Rosemary Fielder, secre- tary: Jo Lucke. treasurer. Murray Chandler. Eldred Toutant, and Bob Ladd represent the class on the stu- dent council. The junior play. The Patsy’’, a three- act comedy, was presented December S in the high school auditorium. On January 18 the play was repeated by popular request. The leads were taken by Rosemary Fielder and David Elies and supported by an excellent cast. One of the outstanding events of the year was the successful magazine drive sponsored by the class as a money making project. page eleven
