The Structure, Refusing to Remain Trodden One step above the freshmen, we find the sophomores. However, these dignified lads and lassies detest being reminded that only last year they were green freshies. Having left their green- ness to the oncoming fi-eshmen, this year they ac- quired an air of self-confidence and dignity as any sophomore class will. No longer did they tremble with fear at the sight of an upperclassman ; but they said, We will find a path or make one. And they meant it, too. Mr. Mumma, a new member of the faculty, was chosen to watch over the sixty-six members of the class. The four officers they elected were Bob Porter, president; Richard Walter, vice- president; Patricia Moser, secretary; Kathryn. Weiland, treasurer. After the first few weeks of school were over, they really began to display their uses and talents. Some of these sophomores were intellectually in- clined, for on the honor roll at least once we found Marjorie Miller, Jean Zimmerman, Peggy Gaunt, Dorothy Hoffman, Betty Fuhrman, Anna Brandy- berry, Harry Massonne, Robert Porter, Thelma Smith, John Gerber, and Robert Mann. The boys in this class showed a keen interest in the major sports at D. H. S. Two boys, Charles Andrews and Richard Walter, sometimes played basketball with the first team. Others who per- formed on the hardwood were Bob Porter, James Kitchen, Ned Johnson, John Gerber, and Bob Sixteen

ly Must Have Its Beginning - The Freshmen Fuhrman, Alice Reinking, Earl Bromer, and Phyll- is Kolter. There were only three little boys, Jack Kline, Fred Schamerloh, and Howard Gerig, who were brave enough to go out for football. The hard- wood lured more potential heroes, however. Jim Wickizer represented the class on the first basket- ball squad. Dale Fuhrman, Fred Schamerloh, Kenny Schnepp, Kenny Chilcote, and John Krick performed on the second team squad. Not to be outdone by the boys, the freshman girls ' basketball team composed of Annis Mae Merriman, Mary Franks, Alice Yost, Wanda Brun- ner, Betty Brown, Marylin Bonifas, Maxine Millis- or. Norma Peterson, Betty Melchi, Ruth Ham- mond, Patsy McConnell, and Bonnie Fryback prov- ed that girls can play as well as root from the sidelines. There was also a liberal sprinkling of fresh- men in the Pep Champs, Howling Hosts, and the High School Band. Under the direction of Miss Haubold, the Freshman Chorus was organized. Believing that the road called toil leads to the city called success, they made great strides to- ward their goal by the end of the year. If they continue to show such determination and ambition, this class will really do things in their three re- maining years at D. H. S.

On the gridiron we found Richard Walter, Charles Andrews, Paul Lord, Bob Eichhorn, Holle Bonifas, Bill Brown, Bob Porter, Ned Johnson, and Bob Egly. The girls ' basketball team really showed im- provement this year. They were runners-up in the inter-class tournament, being defeated only by the juniors. Marjorie Miller, Jean Zimmerman, Vera Sauer, Kathleen Fryback, Ethelyn Burnett, Barbara Jean Duke, Betty Ross, Kathryn Weil- and, and Peggy Gaunt were on the team. In almost every organization at D. H. S. were several sophomores. They could be found in the Pep Champs, Howling Hosts, Girls ' Athletic Asso- ciation, and both the Girls ' and Boys ' Bands. Marjorie Miller was the pianist for the Glee Club. At the exclusive social function of the year, namely the Junior-Senior Reception, the follow- ing sophomores served refreshments: Patricia Moser, Kathryn Weiland, Peggy Gaunt, Dorothy Hoffman, Marjorie Miller, Phyllis Hunter, Dixie Miller, Anna Brandyberry, Barbara Duke, Bob Porter, Bob Stapleton, Bill Brown, John Acheson, John Gerber, Ned Johnson, Richard Walter, Rich- ard Hammond, and Robert Mann. Yes, this class is justified in feeling a little proud of their achievements in the past year, and they will always strive to do their best for Decatur High School. Seventeen
