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.

Eighteen fl lE HH 'W 'N 1 1. l lk 1 it I A As ETGHTH GRADERS, we resumed our studies on September 20. Our class co11sists of thirty-four members who are very ambitious and expect to be freshmenanext year. The new members of the class are Mary Claire Smith, listher Bingaman, Annabelle For- sythe, and Eugene Stepler. s At the beginning of the term, with Mrs. Toms as our home room teacher, we elected offi- cers to care for our business, namely, Robert Schenkel, President: Don Hoover, Vice-Presi- dentg Geraldine Fleming, Treasurerg Annabelle Forsythe. Secretary. Our Christmas entertainment consisted of a play, Betty's Christmas Hints. After the program refreshments were served, and gifts were opened. In fall of 1943, we entered school as SEVENTH GRADE pupils. although we are really in the first year of junior high school. Most of us were glad to- return, due to the change of ways. All the teachers are trying to cooperate with us and make us realize what life really is. They are also trying to prepare us for further advancement in school. ' ' On October 29, 1943 many of us attended a Ha' we'en party where we enjoyed ourselves very much. It made us feel more at home with the ol er scholars and teachers of the school. At the beginning of the year, with Mr. Vlfeagley as our home room teacher, we voted for officers to manage our classg the results were: Robert Young, -Presidentg Carl Smith, Vice- Presidentg VVillis Dehart, Secretaryg and James Duffey, Treasurer. These people held their offices for the First six weeks. Then we voted again. This time the results were: Carl Smith, President, Phyllis Foust, Vice-President, VVillis Dehart, Secretaryg and Harry Ambrose, Treas- urcr. , VVe greatly appreciate the parties held by the Student Council for our recreation. When we had our-magazine drive for the Curtis Company, we were very successful. Although we didn't beat everyone, we really did make a hard effort and came in second. The people were very courteous when we called at their homes. for subscriptions. We also have clubs for our enjoymentg the Tri-Hi-Y for the girls. the Hi-Y for the boys, the Fancy VVork for the girls, and Dancing for boys and girls alike.
