SOPHOMORE SATELLITES SHINE From little acorns, great oaks grow” is the sophomore class motto and members are living up to it if you will notice in this book the efficient class officers; the notable casts in the class play, Seventeen and the traditional Easter play, Everyman,” not forgetting the number of sophomores in other auditorium activities; the talented musicians; the able sophomore members on the Board of Control, both the executive group and the com¬ mittees. Certainly 1943 is making its place in the sun. Tuesday, October 15, 9:15, the class was called to order by Russell Bailey, class president. Officers and sponsors were intro¬ duced. Dues were decided upon. The class play was advertised. Very appropriately, Fern Miller and Tom Cameron, seniors, gave some excellent advice about how to get started right and how to keep going that way. The class went sophisticate in a large way on Friday night, April 25, at the first couple dance of the class, The Sophomore Hop, in the Girls’ Lower Gymnasium, with dancing under a Milky Way featuring all the colors of the rainbow, the class colors — purple and gold — being especially luminous. Elmer Eckstrom and Phylis Banker, co-chairmen, were assisted by Geraldine Boswell, Betty McCubbin, Dorothy Gold, Frank Irvine, Lomadel Leech, James ★ Renn, and Mildred Roades. Fields ought to be looking for decora¬ tors; James Orr, Vladimer Palekucka, Fred Schieb and Tim Sullivan. Miss Grieger was the faculty chairman. Stars that have shone consistently on the high school Honor Roll were Nina Bobrick, Henry Gordon, Florence Gram, Ruth Heath, Doris Icenogle, Valentina Lizak, Edward M adden, Paul G. McCoy, William Meneakis, Cecil Oliver, Mary Pitchford, Charles Randolph, Carolyn Talbert, Estelle Turner, and Mildred Zivanovich. To date, Joe Reaves and Vincent Rourke have had perfect attendance. A diller a dollar, a ten o’clock scholar” could not apply to the following because they have never been tardy: Louis Anastopolous, Russell Bailey, Joe Bilak, Nina Bobrick, Geraldine Boswell, Gladys Braun, Lois Button, Antonia Chiarmonte, George Davis, Elmer Eck¬ strom, James Eloff, John Eloff, Kathryn Felts, Candida Garcia, Dorothy Gold, Lorraine Hammersmith, Clyde Hesford, Martha Holmes, Helen Howell, Mitzi Hunker, Judith Koss, Kenneth Keever, Helen Krzyzewski, Ward Kusmierezyk, Joan Little, Val¬ entina Lizak, Bertha Lodney, Edward Madden, Georgia McAtee, . Bob Moore, Dorothy Moore, James Orr, Marcellina Pfeil, Bill Plun- hL». kett, Steve Rakos, Aaron Reames, Joe Reaves, Mildred Roades, Lorraine Robbins, Vincent Rourke, Loretta Sawa, Sadie Sides, Dorothy Simpson, Helen Swanson, Richard Swanson, Carolyn Tal¬ bert, Millard Trivanovich, William Usher, Eleanor Yankovich, Sophie Zyha. We feel the special brilliance of such stars as Russell Bailey, and George Mihal who won two major letters: Edward Madden, who, in addition to leading parts in Seventeen” and “Everyman,” represented Emerson with his essay “Youth’s Interest in De¬ mocracy” in the contest sponsored by the local Optimist Club. When it came to picking out a Quiz Kid to be on the program with the original Quiz Kids, Edward was Emerson’s best by test. Unusual features about the sophomores registers are that they are all perfect. Miss Grieger and the 215 modest boys to the contrary; 401 has all the drum majorettes: Martha Hannon, Loma¬ del Leech, Louise Rhodes, and Estelle Turner. They also have four flights of stairs to climb; 113 sold the most tickets for the sophomore play and won a box of candy; 312, 215, and 206 like the nice crop of girls,” Mr. Spaulding, and social dancing.
