The televised account of the sophomore currents proves that these second-year Redskins settled down to some real honest-to-goodness studying. Outstanding students in typical sophomore subjects were the subject matter for their record. Representatives from the departments were Betty Dearing and Jimmy Edison, English; Doris Kenninger, language; Gary Booher and Glinda Stein, science; Harold Lout and Lela Braun, mathematics; Bill DeHoff and Betty Hawkins, history; Wanda Boger, type; Hymie Calderon, boys ' physical education; Patricia Paddack, art, and Louise Meibohm and Bernard Matthews, music. Barbara Phillips brought special honor to the Class of ' 50 and the Manual FHA with her election as state FHA histor- ian. She and Geraldine Richeson, l947- ' 48 president of the FHA, will attend the national convention at Kansas City this summer. Of course, they all studied readin ' and writin ' , but some sophomores did readin ' and writin ' plus ' rithmetic. Harold Laut, Richard Pluntz and Howard Newman represented Manual in the geometry division of the state mathematics contest sponsored by Indiana University. There was no business like show business for another group of sophomores — Betty Hawkins, Helen Hampe, Dearlyn Boyd, Fred Buehl, Nancy McDonald, Fred Bennett and twins Betty and Barbara Harrington — who made up a large portion of the Mask and Wig Club ' s membership. Carolyn Bennett, Barbara Nichols, Dearlyn Boyd and Hazel Yeager performed the duties of library assistants. Music hath charm, ar at least it had charm for many of the second year group. Louise Meibohm was soloist with the Girls Glee Club and Bernard Matthews soloed with the Choir. Bill O uac l en bush earned the title of typical American newsboy from the Indianapolis News. Seamstresses from the sophomore group included Phyllis Harman, Donna Turley, Jo Ann Fischer, Marilyn Miller and Maxine Short. They weren ' t all Leonardo de Vinci ' s, but the sophomores had their share of artists. Dianne Mattick and Richard Sachs won gold keys in the Scholastic art regionals. Not to be outdone by the freshmen in winning awards, Richard Schnepf, James Ford and Robert Shaner copped in- dustrial art honors. Betty Hawkins received a history award and Wanda Boger won the first year typist award for the fall semester. Lela Braun led English Ill ' s and scored second highest in the entire school in a national English usage test. Wanda Boger led English IV ' s. Slipping their record into the album, sophomores began looking forward to the next two years to be climaxed by that all eventful graduation in 1950 — the middle of a century.
