Sophomores Strive Advancing to a higher point in their struggle for eminence and existence, we find the sophomores. After being ridiculed and de- jected during the pre- vious year, they final- ly grew up and left their childish actions to the lowly freshmen. They began to show greater ability and confidence. After several weeks of school, the class was called to- gether for the pur- pose of organizing. They chose Mr. Harold Mumma to be guard- ian of their class for the second consecu- tive year. The officers elected were as follows: Paul A. Holle, president; Lawrence Rash, vice- president ; Grace Grether, secretary ; Lydia Frosch, treasurer. After whizzing through several weeks of school, the class displayed their scholastic ability by having the following students on the honor roll at least once: Earl Bromer, Kathleen Fore- man, Elbert Fuhrman, Dick Goldner, Annis May Merriman, Anita Stolp, Alice Yost, Alice Reinking, and Grace Grether. Some of the boys of the class showed their physical ability by reporting for the three major sports in Decatur High School. Fred Schamerloh, Bernarr Granger, Kenny Chilcote, John Krick, Mr. Mummn Harold Johnson, Joe Hazlewood, and Kenny Schnepp represented the class on the hardwood. Fred Schamerloh and Kenny Chilcote were the only two sophomores who saw action on the first team. A number of sophomores volunteered for football. They were Fred Schamerloh, Bernarr Granger, Harold Johnson, Bill Christen, Earl Bromer, Kenny Chilcote, Leoniel Davidson, Joe Hazlewood, Lawrence Fuelling, Howard Gehrig, Harrison Hakes, and Mack Spencer. These boys were always fighting for their dear old school on the reserve squad. Several times some of them were so tough that they were placed on the first eleven. Ruth Hammond, Annis May Merriman, Marilyn Bonifas, Mary Arnold, Betty Melchi, Ruth Fugate, Alice Yost, and Bonny Fryback com- prised the girls ' basketball team. They brought due honor and credit to the sophomore class. This class was not only represented in athlet- ic and scholastic activities but many sophomores were members of the Pep Champs, Howling Hosts, Art Club, Home Ec. Club, and the Girls ' and Boys ' Bands. Li May the juniors staged that exclusive formal affair, the Junior-Senior Prom. Sixteen sophomores were asked to serve refreshments. They were Alice Yost, Martha Macy, Grace Greth- er, Jane Graber, Mary Frank, Kathryn Shroyer, Patsy McConnell, Annis May Merriman, Fred Schamerloh, Paul Holle, Richard Goldner, Earl Bromer, Dick McClenahan, Dick King, Norbert Lose, and John Krick. Thus ended the year ' s activities for the mem- bers of this sophomore class. May they attain even greater heights of success as juniors.
