XI Returning to College High for the fifth time the juniors found a busy schedule awaiting them. This was the year they were to give two dances and take over the Crier, plus many other extracurricular ac- tivities. But all these things did not keep them from leading the school with honor students for the first marking period. The class elected Gil Schneidewind as president and proceeded to make plans for raising money toward the treasury. Two cake sales were given. The class also sold sweat shirts. The Winter Whirl, the juniors ' first dance of the year, was presented in December. This dance proved to be a financial success as well as a lot of fun. The juniors supported the athletic teams as well as the chorus and orchestra with almost the entire class participating in either of the latter two organizations. The group also went on two field trips in the fall; the chemistry class going to a water works and some of the class going to a stage play, Shake Hands With the Devil, in New York City. In the latter half of the school year the juniors gave another dance, and sponsored the annual junior-senior picnic in June. Thus the class tapped a productive year, consisting of both work and play in their biggest year so far at College High.

After a busy summer, the tenth graders returned to College High and got accustomed to their quarters on the second floor. They immediately elected class officers and settled down to a year of hard work. Chet Volski was elected class president; Winnie Shank, vice-president; Maureen Craig, secretary; Jimmy Smart, treasurer and Lyman Seamans was named Stu- dent Council Representative. The main projects of the year were the dance and the membership in the Teen-Age Book Club. Under the direction of Lawrence H. Conrad, the class chose committees and dramatized many of the books received from the club. TJie first class dance, which was given in March, was a great success. Another important event was the selection of a class ring. This aroused an interest in- college and prepara- tion for college. Many relevant talks were given on this subject in the English classroom. The sophomores took an active part in almost all of College High ' s activities. The boys added pep to all of the teams and the girls were active in the G.A.A. All members of the class were represented in the chorus and other organizations. The class went on many interesting and educational field trips. Finishing a very successful year the sophomore class has continued to live up to its past reputation.
