X hey ' re Either Too Young or Too Old, — young enough to have to look up to the seniors, yet old enough to think they are entirely out of the sphere of freshmen and sophomores. But the third-year proteges certainly have been doing all right for themselves this year. Walter Piepenbrok, of our ROTC unit, for instance, proved himself no misfit with a rifle. He captained Man- ual ' s Hearst Trophy Team, which took second place in Indianapolis rifle competition. Other team members who helped bring home those 830 points for Manual are Paul Johnson, Robert Willoughby, Bill Schumann and Walter Mussmann. Dead-Eye Dicks — that ' s what they are ! Piano virtuoso, Bill Robertson, proved his musical merit when he tickled the ivories on L. S. Ayres ' Sub Deb program Nov. 20. He was sponsored by the Ki-O-Wans of Manual. Taking over school service duties under Masoma supervision, four junior girls were voted into the girls ' honorary in March. They are Mary Lou Burns, Carolyn Sanders, Pauline Sauter and La Verne Tacke. Seniors admitted at the same time are Betty Brickert, Bettyann Haller, Janice Heuser, Nita Overman and Barbara Schmedel. Schumann, Barbara Brown, Joe Mennel and Marilyn Chapman were sufficiently active to be chosen third- year candidates for the Know ' Em Poem in The Booster. That Don ' t get around much anymore stuff doesn ' t apply to them! So it looks as if the juniors are fast outgrowing their too young or too old reputation and are on the road to an outstanding senior class. And while we are wishing them good luck, we hope that, as the song says, they will find it easy to stay good as gold and keep up their good work next year. 26

J. he in-between sophomores — much too worldly-wise to forget about getting their silver in the lunchroom or to try absent-mindedly to give their nickels to the ice cream dipper instead of the cashier — too naive to understand just exactly what high school means, to realize how quickly time passes, how soon opportunities are gone. Too old for toys, too young for boys. Well, too old for toys anyway. The other works in theory only. These sophomores are beginning to grow up, to see new sides of this school, which is just beginning to be familiar to them. Maybe Joe donned his ROTC uniform for the first time this year and with this experience became aware of the importance of polished shoes, button polish, too. Jean made her first dress in clothing last semester and wore it proudly. They represent a whole class of Joes and Jeans, waiting in the telephone line in the office to warn their mothers they ' ll be home late — or maybe early for once — taking home their copies of Merchant of Venice, which must be read for English — carrying their geometry books. On the whole it ' s a good class. Although we couldn ' t begin to name everyone who is deserving, it claims people like Rosemary Englert, who has danced her way into popularity, like Juana Griff ard, winner of a treasury certificate for art work, like Albert Chernin, Betty Delks, Jean Maschmeyer and Albert Levy, who appeared in The Booster ' s sophomore Know ' Em Poems. Tenth-grade boys like Ardwood Courtney, John Pittman, William Donahue, Ted Critchfield and Jack Green received Frenzel medals for physical achievement, cooperation, good behavior, leadership. Yes, it is a nice class — a class with opportunity, with capacity for hard work, with faith in the future and themselves. These in-betweens will succeed in the tasks thev set to do. 28
