Since the death of Donald Pinnick Bill Silver was elected to fulfill his duties. Our sponsors were Mr. Whilehouse, Mr. Bost, and Mr. Baird. There are sixty- nine students: thirty-nine girls and thirty boys. We could have only one party this year so we chose to have a weiner roast at the home of Maurine Longfellow. Janice Healy was chosen from our class to be the sophomore attendent to Harriett Sinclair, the Homecoming Queen. Mabel White with Dorothy Mell attended the annual state Student Council Con- vention in Peoria as representatives from our school April twenty-first and twenty-second. The outstanding basketball players in our class were Ken Collins, and Skip Biedenkopf. In our separate home rooms we had discussions each Tuesday on affairs in the school and other prob- lems. Some home room periods were spent in the Student Lounge listening to movies and dancing. At different times there were special speakers from outside school. At other times games and contests were held in the gymn. Some of the names seen on the Honor Roll most often were Mary Lou Bauer, Bob Wilson. Mary Ford and Mabel White. VVe, the sophomore class, have come to a milestone in our high school career. Shall we continue on the voyage to success or shall we disem- bark leaving cargo of knowledge and books at the next port? To most of us this is an easy decision, but to others it is a real problem. We shall continue on our journey to success and only the weak and those whose finances cannot enable them to buy a third class ticket will abandon ship. Here is the challenge. Shall we go forth?
