In our Junior year we were quite le thing, weren't we? That's hat we thought when we rose to Lis high position. We were the :sky ones who made the re- ainder of the school wish we had ever happened along. Remember? 'e took down our hair and let lrselves go. There wasn't much sophistica- on left in us from our Sopho- ore year. No, we were now con- Iited clean through I I I RED JUICY APPLES Do you still remember Mr. Ken- :dy's advice to the fair lassies of e school? Well, he suggested at we beg, borrow, or get a nice, g, red, juicy, mouth-watering :ple and take a walk with it to e park to urge the laddies of rover on to victory in the track ces. Just how did he mean that? id he mean that our beautiful, frgeous, splendid, magnificent, ces would urge the boys to run ster so that they might come .ck to us sooner, or did he mean at one look would send them fly- g away to the finish point? That's subject for discussion I I I GOING UP? ? ? Besides our scholastic knowl- edge rising a few points and becom- ing a bit more integral, our hair and skirts rose too. If you happened to see something go down the hall with something piled on that something's head, that something was only a some- thing trying out a new hairdo. How did they manage to keep their hair up there? I really don't know. Ask one of the something's that tried it Wedgies were the talk of the town that year and so were mus- taches. The fellows detested wedgies, and the girls were fright- ened away by the mustaches. The mustaches were called everything from a soup strainer to a flour sifter. The fellows just couldn't figure out why girls wore such ob- jects of ridicule as shoes with too- thick soles. They still are a sub- ject for discussion.

Her fine speciman of literary Work, The Power of the Ballot, won her the delightful trip to Washington. Of course, Frances Saccone top- ped the Honor Roll again. We should have been very disappointed if she hadn't. To put a little more pep into us Cas though we didn't have enoughi Betty and Dewella Groat, as well as Marie Coniglio, started their career in cheerleading. Also, Rita Saggese was elected Junior Vice-President, besides President of the Western New York Inter-Scholastic Press As: sociation. Room 315 wasn't to be outdone by any means. In the sale of Foot- ball Athletic Booklets, they made a sale of 11575. Also, 119 was close behind in this contest for the sale of athletic booklets. These two rooms earned the praise they re- ceived. In the line of fashion, the ever- popular cardigans showed up this year also, and pleated, plaid skirts became one of the musts on our shopping list.

Maybe that is how our name of Sopho- mores came about. When safely embarked on our second year, it became quite the thing to buy lunches, so, we very graciously informed our parents that we were just plain fed up with home-made lunches. The nickname sober Sopho- mores became attached to us also, for we as Sophomores, thought the silly actions of the rest of the school were disgusting. RISING STARLETS Again the stars that showed up the most on the Honor Roll were Francis Saccone and Joseph Lun- ghino. This year our class presented Annabelle Monaco and Mary Hawkins as our cheerleaders, or should l say human jumping beans? Also, Dan Nigro continued his delightful piano playing. .,i ..j1i NEPTUNE'S FROLIC One of the entertainments pre- sented in our Sophomore year was Neptune's Frolic at the Holy Angels auditorium by Sea Scouts of Grover Cleveland. The Cava- liers was the orchestra that pro- vided the lovely music. SOMETHING NEW This year was also the year we decided to organize a class in Ind trial Arts for girls. Also, to honor the Grover Cleveland students who had attained average of ninety per cent or over for two successive marking perio honor cards were used. This was the newest means of recognizing and paying tribute students of such achievement. The card had a green and White monogram and it was decora with the school seal, which had our motto Semper Vera on it. To make it even more attractive, gold stars were put on every ti a student made the Honor Roll twice. Some schools give roses every so often to honor the students 2 others just acknowledge them at the assemblies, but our method see to be the best, for the cards may be kept long after our school days remind us that even though we did hard work, it was well worth 1 while. We hoped that this system would continue and that more and m students would be honored as the years went on. WHAT NEXT? ?? A S h OP Omore I hope you weren't too start when you heard a strange clipp clappity fill our echoing hallwz The noise was one very commo heard in Holland. What was from?

That sigh of relief was short and quick, however, because we realized that it was going to be hard sledding from then on - es- pecially as spring peeked around the corner. As we knew, spring made it difficult to study. Did we feel any different as Seniors? I didn't. When we were Freshmen, we looked forward to being Sophomores, when we were Sophomores we looked forward to being Juniors, and when we were Juniors, we looked forward to be- ing Seniors. We thought it was going to be much different but it wasn't. We thought we would feel quite grown up and privileged, but we didn't - that is, I didn'tg did you?

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE If you could not make up your mind as to the style of clothe. wear, it was because we had such a variety. Let us start with the knee socks. These were a matter of taste. had red, yellow, tan, blue, green, and black. Most of the garb worn was sporty. The boys wore sport shi socks, and sweaters fespecially bright ones.J The girls wore plaid skirts of every imaginable color, blouses v long sleeves, and many, many cardigans. Later in the year we wore patriotic costumes, some designed on lines of army dress and others in sailor fashion. MONITORS We also continued the monitor system that had worked so ' last year.
