SOPHOMORE HISTORY —As fall rolled around, the numerous sophomore? placed their faith in Norman Barry, president; Mary Steinke, vice-president; Marcia Gaskill, secretary; and Norval Sinclair, treasurer. Bright spots on the gridiron were provided by Jack Wingerden, Kingsley Baulch, and Jim Radford while Hugh Wright added speed to the cross country team. Mr. Vanderbrook’s geometry tests and Miss Barnes’s library course provided numerous pains and unexpected attacks of temporary amnesia. Captain Frank Whitworth’s reserve basketball team, bulwarked by sophomores and featuring such hotshots as Jack Wingerden and Kingsley Baulch, again copped the league trophy. Bonnie Singleton won a letter in cheerleading while Elaine Beckwith, Ann Feldpausch, and Blanche Belsito also helped make noise for the boys. Starting the new year off right, the girls put one over on the boys by electing Marcelle Gillespie, president; Bonnie Singleton, vice-president; Lou Anne Scobey, secretary; and Sue Harrington, treasurer. Ken Hampton tied for the presidency, but lost on a flip of a coin. About the time winter died, numerous sopho- mores thought perhaps that was the best way out. The object of their feeling was the compulsory declamation contest. After endless voting and screening, Bonnie Singleton and Roberta Silver- nail took first and second tonsilatory honors re- spectively, while Neva Bryans, Bill Cortright, and Marcelle Gillespie emerged from the final elimina- tions, finally eliminated. Several sophomore girls took part in a chorus line that did high jinks at the “Lovers Leap.” More dignified entertainment of this form was provided at the J-Hop.

FRESHMEN — Freshmen are generally pretty noisy anyway, so it was a stroke of pure genius that prompted Mr. Williams to use this store of unbounded gab as a solid foundation for some of his early pep meetings. So with the strains of “Come on team, fight” hammering at the eardrums of the school, the freshmen were intro- duced to their new home. Having little experience and time for dirty politics, the class elected the follow- ing to guide their fortunes: Dick Annable, president; Jack Kenniston, vice-president; Crystal Case, secretary; and Joyce Nixon, treasurer. The Spotlight fairly oozed freshmen. Donna Young, Janet Osborn, and Ann Dean officially represented the class in their impressions of school life, while other freshmen spoke Latin just as if they knew what they were talking about. Freshmen were not prominent in athletics, but for every sport they turned out in enthusiastic numbers. Studying was something new to the freshmen, but Mr. Gies soon taught his charges the virtues of the horrible practice. And those who the first semester thought that civics was the worst of all possible subjects began to wonder, when they took health. In the declamation contests freshmen were in there pitching; they had to be, but they were mercifully eliminated before the finals. Faring better in the dramatic readings. Mary Jane An- drus took second and represented the school in the district. The lone school orator was a fresh- man, Janet Osborn. Second semester saw Mary Jane Andrus presi- dent; Art Snyder, vice-president; David Steinke, secretary; and Daisy Brown, treasurer.
