Sophomore Class The class of 1954. the sophomores of 1952, continued their happy and successful years at John Greer with their second year of high school life. The year started off with a class meeting to elect sponsors and officers. This year’s sponsors were Miss Winland and Mr. Campbell. The officers were: President—Joan Shoemaker, Vice President—Bill Welly, Secretary—Jim Long. During the Homecoming we combined with the freshmen to provide a skit, and we elected Norma Burton, as our attendant to the queen. At Christmas it was the halls to decorate, and again the freshmen joined us to decorate the old building, and of course in the spring was the annual party. The student council representatives were Sandra Unger, Joan Shoemaker. Jim Long, and Bill Welty. Many others were active in activities such as Thespians, John Greer Players, F. H. A., and others. Also there were many active in sports and some won their varsity letters, while a number of girls participated in G. A. A. This year’s class has continued the successful traits of last year and we hope that it continues for the next two years.
