VVe made our first contributions to our assemblies when we presented a program entitled The Trial of Fire in observance of Fire Prevention XYeek. October S to l-l. Examinations terminated the school term and wt eagerly looked forward to being sophomores. VYe became sophomores ready to accept additional responsibilities, and, with Miss Fletcher as our adviser, we elected officers and student council members for the year. Since our class con- tained 71 members, we were divided into two groups and had Room o and Room 9 as our home rooms. The girls also were taken into the Senior Tri-Hi-Y group. Our class has contributed to the many activities of the school, The junior lllee Club, composed of 33 boys and girls of the sophomore class. sang two patriotic numbers at a P.

Many of our members have been active in the athletic activities. VVe were represent- ed on the soccer team by Richard Miller, VVayne Rarnhart. and George VVingert. On the hockey team we were represented by Betty Shimer, Betty Henson. and Virginia Nlartin. XYe also have had many members participate in the intramural sports in which we have not been very success! ful, but we hope to have better results when we are upper classmen. Other scholastic activities have included the writing of essays and ballads and the making of posters. some of which have been exceptionally well done. The social events which many of our class enjoyed were the school Hallowe'en party and our class Christmas party. Feeling the Christmas spirit. we had a tree. exchanged gifts. and topped it off with refreshments and best wishes for a Merry Christmas to everyone. This year has brought us many new ideas. especially in our liuropean History class. and a secretary, every two weeks.

Norma Shaffer, Doris Straley, Dorothy VVa1ck and Alice Fore- man, secretaries. Our his- tory class also is or- ganized and officers are elected every two weeks. VVhile the girls were dabbling' in the first les- sons of cooking. the boys were making various things in the shop-foot stools, match boxes, lawn rabbits, cheekerboards, and bird feeders. The eighth grade room lacked a flag: therefore one was secured and hung horizontally in the front of the room. :Xt no ex- pense to the class a beau- tiful pine tree was secured and decoration was do- nated by the pupils. A committee of three was appointed to make up the Yalentine boxes which were tilled to their cap- acity with greetings. Four booklets were made at the beginning of the year -a guide book to the school, a geography note- book to be continued throughout the year. a music notebook. and a health notebook. 8 8U8lfLfA gift Q entered jr, High School September 8, 1941, and immediately set to work.
