SOIUHOMORES Mix together thirty-seven students and one homeroom teacher, preferably Mr. Hess. Add liberal portions of grammar, literature, biology, history, German, typing, algebra, and music. Stir occasionally. Sprinkle carefully with chapel periods, basketball games, and evening socials. After one semester check your results. 'You should find one well-informed sophomore class capable of conducting student chapels, directing chorus, tearing down incinerators, and devouring huge quantities of food at any social. Watch closely. After a summer of work and relaxation, this class will provide musicians, chemists, stenographers, school officers, and other responsible leaders.

JUNIORS The Junior class was the first to take a trip. A visit to the resplendent General Motors Motorama was thehighlight of this major class outing. Attending a meeting of the Trusteeship Council at the United Nations building also proved interesting, for by putting on earphones and flicking switches one could listen to the discussion in French, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and, for the less erudite, English. Various potent mixtures concocted by the chemists of the class sometimes irritated the nostrils of other classmates. However, the chemists stoutly declared that all must bear such annoyances willingly for the cause of science. Some students lamented their plight as geometry studentsg others wrote secret notes in shorthandg and Mr. Hess repeatedly said, Dan, d1at's a good question g but sitting at the wheel of the Dodge during Driver Education class proved most interesting. Even die ladies can now identify the distributor and carburetor and can change a tirel 18

FRESHMEN On September 15, fifty-two freshmen filed into G-3 on the first leg of a four-year journey. Class members participated enthusiastically in the intramural basketball tournament. The basket- ball five were the victors inthe first meeting with the sophomore quintet although they bowed to the juniors. Dennis Hackman was the champion of the freshman class and the school in the Blockhead Tournament. The first social was held on the school grounds with baseball providing the recreationg a doggie roast and a short program rounded out the evening. At the second social the boys' and girls' basketball games were followed by a balloon contest, an impromptu program, and refreshments.
