SOPHOMORE HISTORY To begin a new year the sophomore class elected as officers: Otto Stevens, presi- dent: Bob Kelley. vice president: and Doris Willson. secretary-treasurer. Miss Patricia Berry was chosen class sponsor. Sophomores do not have many activities, traditionally, because they are in an in-between stage. That is, without the novelty of being new, as are freshmen, and without the activities that juniors and seniors enjoy. In grade school this class got a head start on money matters and are now well- fixed as to a treasury. During their freshman year they held a return party for the seniors, and the freshmen boys whitewashed the after which the girls served lunch to the workers. This year the sophomores held their annual party, A Superstitious Dance, on April 13. The high school gym was decorated with the traditional ladders. horse- shoes, broken mirrors and black cats. Music was furnished by a high school orchestra. The public was invited, and dancing lasted from 8:00 to 12:00. On April ll, the sophs went on a picnic to Shonkin. They left after school and were transported there in trucks furnished by class members. Three sophomores were on the football team. and three sophomores numbered in the first five on the A basketball squad. One was manager of football and basket- ball, and one was a cheerleader. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Probably one of the most hard-working departments in school is the commercial department, whose handiwork is evidenced at all plays. banquets, and concerts given by the school. Completely unrelated to the school paper or other clubs, the typists. artists, and mimeographers under the direction of Mrs. E. S. Schmidt work many long weary hours to get programs, menus, and posters out before the deadline. Often, the requests for programs, et cetera, are sent in at the last moment. or when the department is already working at full speed to help put out the school paper. Although commercial students and their teacher sometimes consider theirs a thankless task, the entire school appreciates their patience and tireless cooperation.
