JUNIORS JUNIORS Having finally reached the position of upperclassmen, the juniors got under- way in grand fashion by electing Jack McWebb to lead them, Frank Whitworth for secondary position, Bonnie Singleton to keep the records and Norval Sinclair to guard the cash. Not waiting for school to start, the last days of vacation found many juniors working out on the grid field. Their efforts were well rewarded for ten juniors stepped up at the end of the season to receive football letters. Hugh Wright was the only junior to run with the cross country boys. Basketball season rolled around and many juniors again saw action. At the close of the season King Baulch, Frank Whitworth, Jack Wingerden, Arkie Mein- ert and Ken Hampton were awarded letters. Joan Slocum, Sue Harrington and other junior girls displayed similar ability in neon basketball and G.A.A. The cheerleading squad boasted several juniors with Elaine Beckwith as captain. Working with her were Ann Feldpausch, Bonnie Singleton, Blanch Belsito and Barbara Burchett. Proving that the first semester wasn’t all play Evelyn Gwinn achieved an all “A” record. Nominations were made, elections held, and these officers were chosen: Jack McWebb, presi- dent; Bonnie Singleton, vice-president; Eleanor Stadel, secretary; Chuck Annable, treasurer. Never lacking inspiration the juniors sponsored an all school dance, the “Sock Hop”. Guests went home with a pair of dirty socks, a lesson on how to “schottische” and the memory of a rip-roaring evening. Attention was diverted from the development of spring sports by the presentation of the Junior Play. After a lot of hard work by the cast of nineteen, the committees, and Miss Smith, the terrific comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You,” was a huge success. In a more serious vain, eight juniors were hon- ored with membership in the National Honor Society. Controls were shifted into high gear as plans for the J-Hop got underway. In fact, the juniors were so busy that not one of them had time to realize that within a few months they would be “dignified” seniors.

SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES Last year’s freshmen returned in September as seasoned sophomores. Perhaps it was this experience which prompted them to elect Ken Laubaugh, president; Wilson Guidet, vice-president; Harry Leonhardt, secretary and Ann Dean, treas- urer. Newell Heath and Chuck Miller played on the varsity football squad while many of their conscientious classmates trained with the reserves. Don McDyer and Vernon Smith ran with the cross country team. Our JV’S basketball team which lost only four games all season was composed mostly of sophomores with such stars as Dave Steinke, Charlie Altoft, Jim Adams, and Newell Heath leading the pack. Dick Bryans was the only underclassman to belong to the varsity squad and to earn a letter. Class offices, the second semester, were effici- ently administered in the following way: Newell Heath, president; Jan Brockway, vice-president; Mary Jane Andrus, secretary; Lenore Compton, treasurer. Mary Jane Andrus, Donna Derry, Janet Osborn and Archie Voisard competed in the district speech contest. Archie and Janet placed first in their divisions, oratorical declamations and ora- tions respectively. Mary Jane also took top honors for her dramatic reading which was awarded sec- ond place. The athletic stars shone again as the ever-active sophomores went all out for spring sports. All members of the class survived the final exams and are expected to return next year as top-notch juniors.
