Sophomore Class After three years in the lower hall, the Sophomore Class graduated to the quiet and sophisticated upper hall and showed themselves well worthy of this honor. Upon becoming sophomores, the class inherited the task of maintaining the school Honor Roll which was started by the present seniors. Their work on the Honor Roll led the forty-eighters to put forth the idea of a permanent memorial for those from the school who served in the war. Later in the year a committee was appoined to develop this idea. Early in the school year, the class started work on the annual dance given by the sopho- mores. After much work on the part of the members of the class, the dance was given in March and proved to be a great success, adding much to the social life at College High. On the gridiron and basketball court, the Class of ' 48 showed talent with several members receiving letters in these sports. The sophomores also showed their school spirit by attending all of the school sports events and supporting the various dances and other s ocial functions. In addition to all its other activities, both in and out of school, the class found time to have several parties and other get-togethers. Many of the members also went to New York in the fall to see the fleet in observance of Navy Day. All of these class affairs helped to knit the class more closely together . This doesn ' t finish the history of the Class of ' 48, however, and they should prove to be leaders in their two remaining years at College High.

Junior Class The members of the Junior Class were kept very busy during their fifth year at Col- lege High School, as many of them participated in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. The eleventh graders started off the social season at the high school by giving a sport dance which they named Fall Finale. This dance was the second social event which these students had presented, and it served as a fitting farewell to fall. For the remainder of the year, the class was in charge of purchasing records, running the record machine, and maintaining order at the noon-hour dancing held in the gym. With the beginning of the New Year, the Class of ' 47 took over the Crier, and was responsible for editing and distributing the triweekly publication throughout the second semester. Assisted by Madame Cressy, the juniors revived the French Club which had been dor- mant for three years previous to this. The class expects to continue to give, and to encourage other classes to give their full support to the club next year. Well represented athletically, the eleventh graders were responsible for many lettermen on the football, basketball and baseball teams. A number of the members of the Girls ' A. A. were also from this class. Several junior girls were chosen to be members of the newly reorganized cheerleading squad and attended all varsity games. To climax the year, the students presented a successful comedy and dance in May. The juniors, in accordance with the school trad : )n, took the seniors on the annual junior-senior picnic.

Freshman Class The Freshman Class, entering College High School last September for the first time as high school students, immediately started work on their plans for the year. Being a studiously-minded group, the class began the Western Culture course making observations on the conditions of South America. The ninth graders were particularly interested in Argentina, so they planned a mock trial which they presented before the Parent-Teacher Association. Previous to this presentation, two similar trials had been held. Although it was the decision of the student jury that Argentina was guilty as charged and should be convicted, the parent jury voted a unanimous verdict of not guilty. Another activity of the Western Culture class was the making of projects. This piece of work and the research required for it were considered the most outstanding achieve- ments of the freshmen during the year. To lend a hand in the post-war effort and help create a feeling of friendliness, the girls of the ninth grade promised to send two packages containing food and clothing every month to unfortunate and undernourished French children. The class showed a lot of school spirit during the past year. Quite a few of the boys participated in varsity athletics and two of them were members of the varsity basketball squad. The Girls ' A. A. was supported by the freshman girls, and they will help to carry on the organization during the next few years. The entire class attended a majority of the football and basketball games and supported the various other extra-curricular activities.
