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?

Well, the Freshmen have finished the first lap of their four-year journey here at John Greer High School. They were stow-aways but will move to a higher position as Sophomores in a few months at the beginning of a new John Greer Year. Let us see what has been going on this past year. At the beginning of the year an election of officers was held at which Roy Watkins was elected president, Jimmy German, vice-president, and Diane Hammond, secretary-treasurer. In December a Christmas Party was held at which the entire class had a wonderful time. We are quite proud to announce to you those of our class who had straight A on the first semester honor roll. They are as follows: Arlene Bush, Carol Fraley, and Josephine Petry. Miss Taylor’s home room has stressed the development of character and on special occasions has enjoyed programs put on by the students. The officers of her home room were: Bob Cowan, President; Tom Galloway, vice-president; Bette Gatrell, secre- tary; Larry Davis, treasurer; Dick Crothers, sergeant at arms. Mr. Hoover’s home room has stressed “Getting used to each other.” They have given book-reports and played games. The officers of his home room were: Roy Watkins, pres- ident; Doris Rector, vice-president; Marilyn Smith, secretary-treasurer; Ulyn Reece, magistrate. Mr. Barnhart’s home room has been giving reports about the clubs they attend during activity period. The officers of his home room were: Roy Goodrum. president; Freddie Johnson, vice-president; Ruth In- gram, secretary; Terry Goodrum, treasurer. There were approximately one hundred and thirty Freshmen this year, which is the largest freshmen class over a period of four years. As they have finished this, their first year out at dear old John Greer, we hope they will conscientiously keep sailing on their journey here until they, too, will become seniors, and dock at home port.
