'Y After being initiated into the intricacies of high school life, last years freshman class passed through the doorway of their sophomore year. They began to participate in Key Club. Tri- Hi-Y, Leaders Club, along with football and other extracurricular activities. The doorway of leadership opened to Patty Beswick. Rick Blend, and Arlee Duncan, as they were elected to Student Council, The sophomores for the tirst time were recog- nized as being full-tledged high school students and began to assume some of the responsibilities and the privileges associated with high school life. Academic students wandered into the realm of biological understanding and fought the Gal- lic Wars with Caesar. They were introduced for the tirst time to Mrs. Lefrler and Algebra Il, While all this was happening, the commercial girls fought with the plus and minus valences in related chemistry, cooked, and all the while, with the rest of the class, looked forward to becoming juniors. 1955 ROW 1-rl, R--lim, ll.

The eighth grade students, under the super- vision of home room teachers, Mrs. Russell, Miss Fisher, and Miss Grove, became more acquainted with the everyday ordeal of high school life. Their studies were similar to their seventh grade schedule. However, this. their second year here at the high school, seemed not quite difticult as last year, for by now they'd familiarized themselves with the life of a junior high school student. As the year came to a close the eighth graders began preparations for the long journey ahead. As they enter the portals of high school, there will be many new phases of learning to which they will have to become accustomed. It is safe to assume that these will be mastered without much difficulty. 'v---. 1' M?

STUDE T COUNCIL The Student Council was established three years ago for the purpose of representing the student body. lt was started to provide for the betterment of the school. The banner of progress moved on- ward as the Council completed several successful projects. These projects included initiating a much- necded Alma Materf' and the Beat Wilmerdingm campaign, which greatly aroused the spirit of the student body.

The Rose Fantasy, as it was called, was held at the Edgewood Country Club on Friday, May 2, 1952, from nine to twelve. The orchestra chosen was Bill LeRoy's, and judging from the comments heard, everyone enjoyed his music immensely. The students who really helped to make the prom a success were: Willis Poling, gen- eral chairman: jackie Weishorn, programs: Margie Gilmore, publicity, and Dolly Kolesar, Ilowers. Rose corsages were given to carry out the theme of the Rose Fantasy.

For Hunt, Duffy, Utzler, Suskey, Bartells, Ryma- rowicz, Fragomeni, Canalungo, Walker, Brough and I-'eller it was the last game for the blue and gold. The football banquet at the Vogue Terrace No- vember 19 officially concluded the football season.
