Sophomore Class History Now that we are not looked down upon as green freshmen” we are ready to work and prepare ourselves to be a noted sophomore class. Last year in 1947 we took part in several activities and organizations. Selected to lead our freshman class were: President, Don Willis; Vice-President, Dick McAvoy; Secretary, Dick Poe; Treasurer, Bill Hawk. This year as sophomores we chose to head our class: President, Dick Poe; Vice-President, Don Willis; Secretary and Treasurer, Jimmy Newbrough. We are very proud of our offi- cers and we feel they are all very capable ones. As was last year several students participated in athletics this year. Receiving these honors were: Don Willis, Dick Poe, “Chick” Bennett. Then we next took part in the contest play Cleaned and Pressed directed by Nancy Rohrbough. The cast consisted of: Martha Kemple, Martha Clayton, Patty Pappalardo, |ack Bennett, and Jimmy Isner. At the close of the year we find ourselves one step closer to the goal as we move up to juniors and upper-classmen. as
