r f r n ' a ODfl opnomores A mixture of athletes, showmen, financiers, musicians and, last but far from least, top-notch students, the Sophomore class is, by its own admission, one of the most versatile groups ever to hit College High. Their atheltic ability is shown by the fact that they placed two men on the first teams of both the football and basketball squads, and that the girls of the class have several times brought home laurels for the Girls ' A. A. The class demonstrated its showmanship by producing a play — The Mad Breakfast — and proved its financial ability with its successful dance — The Valentine Sport. The Sophs ' musical talents were repeatedly brought to the surface in the Chorus and Orchestra, and their scholastic achievements are shown by the large number of tenth grade names which appeared on the Honor Roll each marking period. Occasionally, during the past year, this energetic class took time out however to rest themselves and go on a few trips. Taking all the above-mentioned achievements into consideration, the rest of College High must admit that the Sophomores are all that they claim to be and have good reason to expect to go far in their next two years.

Entering these halls for the fifth time last September, the Juniors settled down to the usual upper hall routine and an ever increasing volume of homework. To keep themselves amused till Christmas vacation rolled around, the future seniors presented two assembly programs, one of which was repeated for the P.T.A., the boys joined the football squad, and the class held a successful formal dance entitled Star Dust. With the advent of January the Basketball season developed into full swing and the boys were kept busy, while the girls contributed their talents toward the success of the Girls ' A. A. At the same time, the class, with the usual junior enthusiasm, assumed the editorships of the Crier, and along about Easter the Little Scorpions, the baseball team which was organized two years ago by the boys of the class, commenced its season. More social gatherings and trips for the juniors followed, climaxed by the annual junior-senior picnic, as the Class of ' 43 pulled down the curtain on its biggest year yet at College High.

reshmen Completing the fullest and greatest of their three years at C.H.S. this spring, the freshmen have set a high standard for themselves to beat during their second half of their term at Col- lege High. In the dramatic field, the class presented two plays during the course of the year. One was The Enchanted Christmas Tree, and the other was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court. As part of their classes, the freshmen also formed a Latm and a French Club, adopted a French girl refugee, held a South American dinner, and subscribed to the Scholastic Mag- azine, which they used while making several recordings of their voices. Having their hands full with work at school, the class took few trips this year, but they did take time out for an all-day hike and a picnic. Being also a very athletic class, the boys formed a basketbal and baseball team, while the girls organized a Softball squad and almost unanimously supported the Girls ' A.A. and in the spring the class also displayed their social talents by giving the Sopho- mores a party in the form of a sport dance for the two classes.
