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.
