SUPHS HIT NEW HIGH IN 39 President. JANET BONIFANT Vice President. ROBERT WILSON Secretary'Treasurer, EILEEN TROUT This class which is now known as the Sophomores, entered C. H. S. in September, 1938. When we entered the study hall (Sophomore home room to us) that bright morning, the ex-sophomores gave us the “horse laugh . They were delighted to be a year ahead of us in school. We were timid upon entering and the flattering speeches from the teachers failed to bring a smile or even a grin on our faces. The next day we felt we were a part of the high school, especially when a certain teacher told us to stay after school, which meant a detention. By the next two or three days we got into the swing of things and became quite content after our long summer vacation. When the different sports seasons rolled around, our class was represented very well. The sophomore girls were the champs in basketball with Agnes Dalrymplc as captain and Betty Stoncburncr as manager. Wc arc proud to have had chosen from our class two of the cheerleaders, Joyce VanAtta and June Dillehay. Wc were represented in Student Council by Vcrda Belle Greene, Margene Horne, Dean Brown, Robert Bauman and Janet Bonifant. In Sokol by Agnes Dalrymple, Jean Horn and Janet Bonifant. Our Tumblers were Keith Watts, Bill Lemert and William Watts. The Junior Girl Reserve officers were also chosen from the Sophomore class. They were Janet Bonifant, President; Margene Horne, Vice President; Eileen Trout, Secretary, and Janice Allen, Treasurer.

Orchestra, Pauline Duckworth, Violin. THE GLASS DF ’42 On September 5, 1938. sixty-six freshmen answered the call to school, wondering what new teachers and new subjects would have in store for them. Naturally wc felt shy at first, but it didn’t take us long to learn that wc could have a good time as well as advance ourselves cdu' cationally. The second week of school, the class was organized on a different basis than had ever been the case at Crooksville. Being in two sections each section organized separately, each having a president, vice president, and secrctary'treasurer.

THESE MOVE HIM TU HIliH SEHUUL This year of 1938-39 the Junior High has produced some very talented members for the high school's highly prized band and orchestra. Their membership is very high for students of this age! Jack Cross, Albert Weesc, Hilda Cope, Marilyn Love, Don-aid Hill, Donald Allen, and Alf Talbot played in the band. To the orchestra, Jr. High gave Garnet Ertel and Eleanor Pitcock. In vocal words, The Hammond Sisters gave a splendid performance in the amateur contest. Their harmonizing that old favorite, “Home”, in the Jr. High assembly brought a big applause. Not only did the Jr. High stand out in music but also in intramural sports. Their boys played some fine games of volleyball and basketball, as did the girls. The privilege of participating in sports so enthused Dale Baughman, a sixth grader, to work hard enough to be promoted to the seventh grade in the middle of the year so he could play football. Dale is keeping up his studies and sports too. If he continues this work, he may soon be a prized fixitball man of C. H. S. In the eighth grade, boys arc given manual training and the girls, home economics. Here the basis is laid for the future high school courses. In both these courses the boys and girls may complete projects that they prefer. These projects are the basis of their knowing what they want to do when entering high school. Tom Sawyer”, the Junior High play directed by Miss Ruth Snell, assistant High School principal, was a great success. These are some of the comments of Junior High pupils on it: Jean Stine- -“I think it was just swell especially when I was in it.” Barbara Cannon— Dived it.” Eugene Hcskett— Not half bad, when I took the lead.” The American Legion Award, based on honor, courage, scholarship, leadership, and service, was given to Herman Sturgill and Norma Sue Luster. This custom of giving awards to the two outstanding eighth grade students was started by the American Legion in 1936 and has been continued since. The Junior High of today is the Senior High of tomorrow. So with these talented pupils we are sure that the future of dear old C. H. S. is secure.
