NEXT YEAR'S UPPER - CLASSMEN Standing on the threshold of becoming upper-classmen, half the high school days of the soph- omores have become history. Their record as a class has been good, and they are determined to malce it better in the future. Loolcing baclc to the fall of 'l94O, one can see that these people wasted no time becoming ac- quainted around school. They toolt advantage ol the opportunity to belong to the clubs available to them, and a number added their talent to the band and orchestra. Freshman boys sought interest in their favorite sport, outside of school hours. As freshmen, they also did their share in presenting a good student assembly. A sports theme was carried throughout their first party, and in the spring they attended the fresh- man-sophomore party in the rustic atmosphere of the cafeteria decorated as a hayloft. When class oFficers were elected, the frosh chose Bill Goff, president, Monte Miller, vice-presi- dent, and Dean Wentling as the secretary-treasurer. As sophomores, the class of '44 has displayed the same enthusiasm and ability as they did last year. Ahead of all, stand their achievements in athletics. The lightweight football team was the conference champions and Coach Lindell called them the best team in years. Don Bowers, Edwin Burlcett, Bill Cooper, Bob Cramer, Neil Dennison, Lewis Drummond, Don Fish, Dale Frey, glunior Gardner, Bill Goff, Douglas Lloyd, Bob Marshall, Eddie Qsowslci, Edward Ressinlt, Rhillip Reilly, ,lohn Walters, Bob Whiting, and Loren Wilson won letters. The lightweight baslcetball team also won the conference title. Letters were awarded to Don Bowers, Bob Cramer, Bill Goff, Bob Marshall, Ted Mason, Monte Miller, Don Steder, and Jimmy Williams at the end ofthe season. Goff and Marshall were selected for the tournament ten. Club activities lcept steady pace with other sophomore attainments.
