AQ! 2 ophomore History During our Freshman year Carl Leland was president of the classy La- Belle Ross, vice-presidentg William johnson, secretary, and Mary Benedict, treasurer. Dorothy Patterson was representative to student council and Mr. Lane was faculty advisor. The First underclass party was held in the gym and it was far more successful than the second, for which we joined with the Sopho- mores at a picnic at Lake Moraine. As it was late in the season very few at- tended this party. The Sophomore girls' basketball team under the coaching of Mrs. Everts won a decisive victory over our Freshman girls' team. The Freshman boys were likewise defeated by the Sophomore boys. Early in the school year the Sophomores held their annual election of class officers. Carl Leland, the president of the previous year, presided over the business meeting at which William Johnson was elected to succeed him. Myrtle Howard was selected as vice-president in place of LaBelle Ross and Amy Parker filled the position of treasurer which Mary Benedict had held previously. Our former president was chosen as secretary to succeed William Johnson. Mr. Yaple was designated as faculty advisor and George Berry served as Student Council representative in place of Dorothy Patterson. All the elected officials have filled their positions very creditably. At the opening of the football season the Sophomores defeated their long standing rivals, the Freshmen,and ranked high with other organizations in the sale of athletic association tickets. In December the Sophomores united with the Freshmen toproduce the first underclass party. Due to the large number present, and the careful plans made by the entertainment committee a most enjoyable party was held. Credit is due to Mr. Lane who was present and was an important factorinits success. The program consisted of games, short skits put on by groups of pupils from both classes under the direction of Miss Fisher,and dancing. The second party held in March was similar to the first although a betterorchestra was secured for dancing. During the basketball season the Sophomore girls played the Freshmen girls twice. The Sophomore boys played the Freshman boys once and the junior boys once. In the Hamiltonian drive both Sophomore boys and girls showed their school spirit in having the largest percent of subscribers. D. J. P. , Seventeen
