SOPHOMORE GLASS HISTORY Four of the sophomore boys were initiated in the 'G' Club, three of them being initiated at the close of the football season and one at the end of basketball. They came to school one day with very few hairs on the top ef their heads and all boys looked kind of sick. They must have gotten over it, because they're still alive today. The boys were Don white, Bill Huffman, Leonard Fortunati, and Norman Knight. Toward the end of the first semester the class lost one of its members, Jack McKee, who had been with the class since the first grade. He moved to California. As Jack was president, the job was given to Lois ?ilkington,the vice-president. - Since there were only nine juniors to put on the annual junior play,two sophomore girls, Margaret winninghoff and Bonita Dobbins were given parte in the comedy, 'His Name was Aunt Ne1lie.u Lois Pilkington, Shirlee moran, and Yuvanne 3ice,along with two senp ior boys, organized an orchestra, which played for many of the school dances and programs. A one-act Uhristmas play was presented just before Christmas vacation with Bonita Dobbins and Bill Huffman taking part. A tap dance by Jean winn- inghoff, Janice Burnett, Lorraine Forgette, and Marian uonley was also a part of the program, which was presented for the PTA at its December meeting The class as a whole took part in the annual carnival and the other school activities.
