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.

Things began to happen with the first freshman mixer in Qctober, with jim Love as master of ceremonies. A Take It or Leave lt program, conducted by two seniors, Bud Bradford and Bernard Frazer, provided unusual entertainment. The prize was given to Wayne Frazer for answering the jack-pot question.

Bob Alexander, Roger Bivens, Clyde Cooley, Hugh Cruse, jack Hansen, Fred Meinke, and john Woodyatt received minor letters at the close of the season. This class showed keen interest in the organizations about school. They had a representation in the Freshman-Sophomore Literary Society, Language Club, Travel Club, Home Ec Club, F. F. A., and the G. A. A. Some of the members even participated in programs and served on committees of these clubs. During the first semester, the entire class met once a week in the auditorium to sing. The boys and girls were organized into two separate groups for their chorus work in the second semester. The second freshman mixer was held on December iQ. Ann Kennedy, Beth Heimbaugh, Eleanor jones, Virginia Bryant, Frances Bartholomew, Betty Hipple, Mary Keeney, and Katherine Hawks, accompanied by Susan Warner, sang onthe program.
