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.

Preparations for cutting the third-year platter began when the class petitioned Skipper McComb for a junior organi- zation. Third-year Redskins elected Charles Fisher, president; Monte O ' Connor, vice president; Jean Tutterrow, secretary, and LeRoy Moon, treasurer. Class sponsors, Mr. W. Finley Wright and Miss Menka Guleff, helped plan the ' 49ers ' album. No sooner did the record of the class organization get under way than eight Manual juniors received word that their poems would be published in the Annual Anthology of High School Poetry. David Priest, Anna Perronie, C. D. Brooks, Leona Lair, Emma Behr, Iris Carman, Bella Eskenazi and Deloris Andrews were the lucky poets. Live wires on the political scene, John Sharp and RuAnn Cruse, attended a student activities meeting at Purdue Uni- versity. Bill Dean won a scholarship to John Herron Art Institute and Scholastic regional awards went to Anna Perronie, Roy Capps, William Sudkamp and Don Shipley. Stephanie Stanton was the juniors ' Helen Hayes, broadcasting on the Saturday afternoon FM teen program, Shuffle Shanty, at radio station WABW, and playing in two junior civic productions. She and Betty Poynter won history awards, too. Three other maidens of the junior tribe, Dorothy Steele, Barbara Smith and Geraldine Richeson, made history for their class by rising to top spots on The Booster business staff. Geraldine also wielded the president ' s gavel for the state Future Homemakers of America. Joyce Hilgemeier shared top spot on the final Top Ten list; and John Barker, Howard Ashmore and Bill Hueber won shop department awards. Although the ' 49ers do not have a symphony of double features, they do have enough for a theme — Richard and Rob- ert Oliphant, Max and Bob Colderon, and Lester and Esther Breeden. The science department attracted junior assistants John Sharp and Daniel Kemp. Elected Masomas too late to be in the group picture, 13 misses made the first page of The Booster: Phyllis Baxter, Emma Behr, Wanda Boger, Dorothy Bryant, Eleanor Hendricks, June Kennedy, Patricia Jones, Margaret Muff, Betty Poyn- ter, Barbara Smith, Geraldine Thome, Betty Toon and Dorothy Sheffler. There are many other juniors who achieved in athletics and such, but if I stopped to play all the transcriptions, we ' d never reach the end.
