“The Sophomore Officers arc a peppy crowd ” Jim Gibbs, President; Bob Muller, Vice-President; Bob Blau, Treasurer; Nancy Nczovich, Secretary IN MEMORIAM john McGuire Horace Mann was deeply grieved when one of its pu¬ pils, John McGuire, died in Mercy Hospital early Sunday, September 26th. John was popular with both the faculty and students alike. He had been active in sports and had served as secretary of the Freshman Class. The circle is broken—one seat is forsaken. One bird from the tree of our friendship is shaken. One heart from among us no longer shall thrill With joy in our gladness, or grief in our ill. A Lament—Whittier.

The Sophomore Log or The Story of 1951 in 1949 And what of the Sophomores in 1949? How far have they journeyed toward that glittering goal—gradua¬ tion? Many face the future with for¬ titude, although they know that la¬ borious hours of digging through Macbeth, chemical formulas, and a term paper complete with a cargo of footnotes, outline, and note cards await them. Having sailed with some success through modern history, Silas Marner, and geometry, the long voyage ahead seems less arduous. These Sophomores have evidenced a social knack which has vitally con¬ tributed to the school’s social sea¬ son. Sophomore week was as lively and varied as any program produced by the seasoned hands of Juniors and Seniors. The Shamrock Serenade sounded like a silly idea for a dance to some stately Juniors and Seniors, but here once more these youngsters showed their mettle. The ball on March eighteenth provided a sur¬ prise for the doubtful. Decorations in the spirit of wearing of the green were original, the music was good, the ball moved smoothly. Not con¬ tent to copy their elders, the Sopho¬ mores chose an average boy and girl in place of the conventional king and queen. (Just what does average mean?) Jimmy Gibbs, the ambitious class president, and Phyllis Williams were elected by popular ballot. More laborious hours awaited one devoted band who produced Seven Sisters as an entertainment feature for the school. These loyal workers found pleasure and satisfaction in the acclaim which rewarded their long hours of hard work. The class as a whole was proud of the play which concluded Horace Mann ' s dramatic season. “We’re really getting along in high school,” exclaim the Sopho¬ mores. “Doesn’t time fly? Why it seems no time at all since we were mere infants!” And by that, of course, they mean Freshmen. Now, hardened by fruitful experi¬ ences gained while working their passage through 1949, these Sopho¬ mores have developed into a mature and steady Junior Class, ready to lead wisely in the class councils of the future.
