'Wray Zrrjoqecf rqoifiwlifiwi It's swell to be back, isn't it! Have you seen the new boy in our class ? No, but I did see some of the freshmen. Wheel am I glad I'm a soph this year ! We weren't as bashful as that, were we Y Of course sophisticated sophomores never can believe that they were once freshmen, too, so that fact perhaps accounts for the disdainful glances cast at their successors to the lowest class rank, on the opening day of school. They had profited by a year's experience, for they immediately slid into action with a vigorously conducted campaign, promoting Plouff for President. It succeeded too, for at class election Donald Plouff was chosen to lead the group as presidentg Jim Knutson was elected vice presidentg Leon Hussong, secretaryg and Donald Hertzfeldt, treasurer. Miss Montley was the unanimous choice for class advisor. The first activity to be sponsored by the group was the annual fresh- man initiation party. After lengthy discussions of ways and means of initiating, it was finally decided to invite the freshies to an all-school dance, and have them perform before those attending. Freshman boys could be seen dancing in their stocking feet, for the very good reason that the freshman girls were making use of their shoes. The greenies were good sports, however, and gave those attending some hearty laughs. Many sophomores took active part in extra-curricular activities during the year. Evelyn Mae Riley represented the class as a cheerleader. Jim Verber participated in extemporaneous speaking, while Phyllis Zirbel went out for humorous declamatory. Yes, the sophomores finished a successful year of activity with the feeling that they would really do things as juniors next year! th rnw. L, I'ansie1', R. Tubbs, R. Sm'ng'er, A. l m'utl1, H.

Now, I'm supposed to be in room 207, but I can't find it. Maybe I'm on the wrong floor. I think the numbers on my card run backwards, or somethin'. I d0n't know what to do. It's ten o'clock and I'm supposed to be in my third class, but I didn't go to the second one yet. Maybe I stayed too long in one place. And so went the queer comments from some of our wide-eyed fresh- men as they roamed the halls, obviously in a daze, on their first day in high school. Oh, yes, they were green, but after a couple days, with the aid of the teachers and a few kind hearted upper classmen, they adjusted themselves to their new surroundings. Their worries weren't over, however, for rumors of initiation were in the air and the greenies began to cast shy and cautious glances at all upper classmen. Some thought initiation began the first Week, but the braver ones were sure that it would come later, and so it did. Yes, there surely was a need for officers to bolster the courage of these newcomers, and so with the aid of Miss Schreihart they elected their leaders. Joe Ley was chosen president and gave an inspiring accept- ance speech. Pete Desnoyers was selected vice president, Arleen Lasee, secretary, and Tom Keehan, treasurer. The night of the big initiation party finally arrived, and everyone had a grand time, especially the freshman boys, who were obliged to dance in their stocking feet! Yes, like all freshmen, this group had their ups and downs, but they emerged on the up side and by June were indeed eligible candi- dates for a higher rank. Fifth row, M. lliny, R. Aerts, J.
