We became Sophomores before we knew it. This year we were under the leadership of Miss J ulia Parmer. We hsrtS become more accustomed to the place and found that it wasn ' t a bad place at all. Our officers this year was Davis Miller, President; Kate Qusenberry, Vice-President; Peggy Duncan, Secretary; and Betty Hubbard, Treasurer.
