Sophomore Class History Last year when school started there were 28 Green Freshmen. They clidn't think that it took them very long to get adjusted altho' the upper classmen still have their doubts. Soon after they had crossed the uthresh-hold of higher learning, Bobby Griggs was elected their Presidentg Sherdel Harper, Vice- President: Charles Mainer, Ir., Treasurer: ,Iohnny Kopah, Secretary: and Miss Ruth Iones, Sponsor. The class had its first real school party at Christmas time. With snow on the ground on a truly beautiful night, they held their Christmas party around a huge Christmas tree loaded with presents. In the early spring the class decided on a Valentine Party to which guests of other classes were invited. There were stacks of good sandwiches and plates of cookies and all the candy the class and their friends could eat. By this time this green class were no longer green and when they were forced by politeness into asking the Sophomore Class to accompany them on a picnic they really felt resentful but after hiking to Durham's Woods with these Sophomores and the class' special guests, it was found that the class could have a grand time every time they chose to have a get-to-gether. At the close of the school year several were honored for their high grades and at one of the Lion's Dinners, Imogene Allen was a guest of honor. Now in 1944-45 the class are Sophomores and number 23. Jacob Milstead was elected President with Vernon Vinson, Vice-Presidentg Norma Reynolds, Secretary, Dale Wigart, Treasurerg and Mrs. Sue Hill, Sponsor. The class gave to the softball ten an excllent player, Shinguard Milstead and the prettiest attendant, Wilma Williams, in the coronation ceremony. The class gave to the Galatia Basketball Squad, the best player they had Cat least so the class thinksj the famous Tody Vinson. Since so many of the class were members of the First Five team and the second string, they planned a formal basketball party. To this party' the class invited guests and the entire basketball squad, their coach and manager with their guests. There was circle dancing and just a wee bit of jitterbuggin , along with the singing of old songs and new ones. Again the class had grand food, the best sandwiches, hot dough- nuts, candy and all the the crowd could drink. At the close of the first semester Wilma Williams and Norma Reynolds held the high honors for grades. Climaxing the year the Sophomores in a home basketball tournament held to raise money for the Red Cross won over the Seniors in the finals by a score of 24-23. The starting line up was Vinson and Milstead, forwards, Manier, centerg Adams and Wigart, guards. When Vinson fouled out Perkins came in as substitute and played a remarkable game!
