Sixteen l EUPHUMUHE NASE Robert Elliott-President Shirley SnyderASecretary Robert Fitz--Vice President Buddy Fitz-Treasurer Mrs. Conrad-Adviser On September 20, 1943, we came back to school from our summer vacations eager to start the new year. VVe were no longer the timid freshmen of last year but proud sophomores who felt more sure of themselves. At our first class meeting, under the supervision of Mrs. Conrad, we elected class officers, and Patsy Chritzman and Lloyd Rowe were chosen to be our representatives in the Student Council, VVe occupy three classrooms: Room 9, Room 10, and Room 6. On December 23 we held a Christmas party 111 Room 95 we exchanged our gifts and were entertained by the reading of jokes and the singing of Christmas songs. The sophomores were unusually well represented in the held of sports. The girls par- ticipated in hockey and basketball. The boys have distinguished themselvs by supplying a ma- jority of players and the soccer squad, the varsity basketball, and jayvce squads. Eleven sopho- mores were members of the soccer squad, and for the first time in many years the sophomores boast five members in each of the basketball squads. Then, too, we are not without our humorous elements. VVithout Frankie Bittner, Nellie Long, and Betty Lohman, life would be dull, indeed. With an enrollment of seventy-nine, our class has the distinction of being the largest in high school, and it, also, possesses the largest member, Arthur, whose customary stride meas- ures thirty-six inches. We appreciate the help the teachers have given us in the past two years, and we wish to show our gratitude by doing our best in the following years as upper classmen and as we go out into the world. - CNot all high school girls are Sinatra fans.j THE SVVOON-CROONER With the plaintive wail of All or Nothing at All, a dejected. forlorn, and n1al-nutri- tioned character staggers weakly to the microphone. His glazed eyes and half-starved appear- ance bring forth the shrill cries of the teen-age swooners assembled there. Gripping the micro- phone tightly in his hands, the weak-kneed individual proceeds to enchant his adoring, star-eyed audience. The tune and words are little rugged, but he always adds a compromising trill to the last word of each line, sending the bobby sock crowd right out of this worldfl Amidst the groans and cries of his female following the emaciated swoon-king is pried loose from the micro- phone and carried away.

' ea.-. .IUNIUH alles On September 20, the Class of 1945 entered Greencastle High School once more, only this time as uupper classmen ready to assume additional work and responsibilities. Our group is divided into two sections, with two home rooms, under the direction of Miss Phillippy and Miss Diffenderfer. On October l, our class held the first meeting of the year. A temporary chairman and a secretary were named. We elected class officers with Fay Myers and Seibert Zimmerman repre- senting us in Student Council. On October 7, it was decided to buy rings, and on October 19, the voting was done in the office, After many inquiring visits to Foust's Drug Store by impatient members of the class, we did not fully believe these precious adornments had arrived on Rebruary 4. , Falling in with the Christmas spirit we had a party in room five and a swell', tree. Re- freshments were served after the Christmas entertainment and gifts were exchanged. On:February 7, we held a class meeting to select class colors, class motto, and class flower. A petition was drawn up by a few members of the class and signed 'by a majority although no .further steps were taken. Our motto is very appropriate because that is just what we intend to dog learn all we can so we can serve our country to the best of our ability. Our thoughts are now turned toward the presentation of a play. The president appointed a committee whose members read, plays for several weeks. Finally, Booth Tarkingtoifs The Fighting Littles was selectedg it was presented on April 20 and 21. Since Mrs. Conrad asked to be relieved of the responsibility, Miss Diifenderfer acted as our director. Until the last days of school we know that busy and exciting days will be in store for us. Caps, pennantsp vshering for the play and for commencement activities,-all make us know that we must be valuable wartime citizens. . PICTURESQUE SPEECH The rocking house seemed to dance as though it were in the clutches of a magician. The crashing of the dishes seemed to be caused by an unseen band of men. The clock had been stop- ped by some ghostly creature. ' The aeroplane like a'-large bird rose from the field, circled several times high above us and then plunged straight down as if to get a- worm. - . CHLOE SHATZER. A huge, brown monster with large comb-like teeth and two large glaring eyes chugged down the street, moving the snow banks furiously as a kitten pushes away an unwanted mouse. It came tojan abrupt stop, made a few disgusted noises, slowly backed with the cautiousness of a person getting ready to jump a high fence, and proceeded down the snow covered road once more.
