Freshmen Freshman Frame-Up When in years hence freshmen open their treasured memory books, they ' ll turn with loving fingers to the dog-eared first pages crowded with reflections of their early days at Manual. As the blank leaves in the back begin to fill, new events will find a place, but nothing will ever seem quite so dear as that all-important first year. Particularly will they recall that first day when helpful Masomas and Roines steered them to the brown giant locker — an oasis m the bewilderment of trying to find their classrooms and teachers. Some of them later returned the favor as Betty Jones and Doris Miller served tasty tarts and punch at the Masoma mothers ' tea. Setting aside crumpled red and white streamers, a few battered football programs, and a badly worn Facts for Freshmen manual, they ' ll come to a Top Ten list sporting the names of their own classmates, David Cop- page, John Sharp, Frieda Thompson, June Kennedy, Joyce Hilgemeier, Lois Ann Tucker, Rosemary Orman and Catherine Organ. Others who received Top Ten certificates at the term ' s end were Mary Thomas, Jean Tutterrow, Edwin Mussmann, Arthur Harris, Gene Hallock, David Pattison, William Sudkamp and William Hueber. And they ' ll remember Honors Day in January with their class well represented on the stage. Anna Per- ronie, who received the Masoma award for the highest freshman girl ' s scholastic standing; Helen Earles, repre- sentative on the student council of the Children ' s Museum; Henry Newlin, Charles Lynch, Dick Mayes, Rich- ard Blythe, Monte O ' Connor and Roy Zahn, Frenzel ribbon winners, and Deloris Andrews and Forrest Higgs, winners in a color harmony design contest, are only a few freshmen who helped fill the pages of their class history. They ' ll point with pride to the Forty-Niners column in The Booster, written for, by and of members of the Class of ' 49, and they ' ll remember their triumph over upperclassmen when Freshman Roll Room 332 walked off with first place honors for the sale of victory stamps. Nor will they forget how their fellow classmate, Geraldine Richeson, made such a big hit playing the marimba at the annual band concert. Glancing back, they ' ll wonder too if they ' ve been seeing double in quintuplet time, for on their class roster are five sets of twins (four of which the photographer caught) — Robert and Richard Oliphant, Paul and Pau- line Byers, Morris and Rachel Meshulam, Helen and I rmah Constant and Shirley and Ralpha Johnson. Yes, this year ' s freshman class, with all this to its credit, has a right to boast that good things come in small packages.

Sophomores Sophomore Double Trouble Relieved of their freshie status as they joined the ranks of upperclassmen, this year ' s sophomores will long remember 1946 and the happy days their second year of high school brought. Losing a little of their awe of teachers and learning to accept homework as a necessary evil, they began to realize how much school life meant to them as they played a greater part in school activities. This year ' s record proves the promise they showed as freshmen and points to a long list of noteworthy achievements before they leave Manual ' s halls. Already catching the eyes of athletic enthusiasts, Ronald Ryan, Ralph Volpp, Ralph Millspaugh, Rich- ard Johnson, Dennis Bailey, Eugene Lucas, Merlin Brown and Don Whitlock received Frenzel ribbons for outstanding gymnastic ability. However, all brawn and no brain is not applicable to the Class of ' 48, as a quick glance at Top Ten records will show. John Leisure, Robert Stuckey, Margie Board, Jack Edwards, Nila Jo Hawkins, Barbara Snodgrass, Phyllis Miedema, Roy Turley, Charles Kriech and Joseph Mascari were recipients of Top Ten certificates at the end of the fall semester. Not lacking in artistic talent, members of the sophomore class will remember Wilma Harding, who was awarded a Saturday scholarship to John Herron Art School, and Janet Weaver, who received the Civic Theater Workshop membership for outstanding dramatic ability. High on the list of music enthusiasts, femme Stradivaris in the personages of Viola Reifeis, Elfriede Bickel, Carolyn Kenyon and Betty Stefan appeared as a string quartet at the awarding of lyres during a music department auditorium. Not to be omitted is Hugh Wheatley, who merits the title of collector-extraordinary for his stamp hobby, nor the sophomore creators of reflection double trouble — the Harvey twins, Henry and James, and the McGuffeys, Polly and Jo Ann. Florann Greeson, junior student council president, and Waneta Staten and Johnny Lee, top scorers in a geometry contest, also gave second year students their claim to fame.
