SOPHOMORES The first class meeting was held September 4, for election of officers. Happy Murphy was chosen president, Richard Tucker, vice-president, and Orva Jane Mullen, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Lonnie Parr and Miss Ruth Parkinson were made co-advisors. For the Student Council were chosen Darrell Crotz for one year, Roberta Allen, who is concluding her term of two years from 1940 and Jeane Quaney for two years. At the end of September Jeane Quaney’s resignation from the Council was accepted unanimously, and Marjorie Thomas was elected her successor. The Sophomore Carnival was held on Friday, October 17. Among the various concessions were a wrestling march on the stage, a marriage and divorce bureau, and a fortune telling bureau, all of which held a large interest among all. A very tidy profit was made from this enterprise. In April, Marjorie Thomas was chosen a delegate representing the Sophomore Class and attended the Student Council State Convention in Chicago. We hope to hold our annual class picnic the last of May, but this article will have gone to press before the picnic is held. Page thirteen

JUNIORS By the time you read this, the historic and brilliant Juniors will be looking for- ward to their last year in high school either here or elsewhere. For the benefit of those unfortunate people who were not present at any or all of the events in which the Juniors took part this year, I shall endeavor to recount the successes and setbacks of this year’s Junior Class. At the beginning of the year, we elected Johnnie Forbes as president (he was also our president last year) and also re-elected Mr. Taylor our class adviser and added a co-adviser, Miss Morrison, to our family. These people have struggled to make us the finest class in school; and, as the records show, they have succeeded. There is an organization within our class called the Moron Players. This society has written and produced such epics as their own versions of Macbeth and Ivan- hoe. Some of the members collaborated with others in that dramatic masterpiece, One Mad Night, our class play, which, under the able direction of Miss McKray, turned out to be the biggest success of the school year. We broke a precedent by winning our own Stunt Night prize this year. Inci- dentally, the stunts we have put on all during our high school career have been con- sidered the most hilarious ever conceived by any class at any time. However, our whole existence has not been one of amusement. There have al- ways been some of our members listed among the honor students, and those who have taken part in sports have admirably represented our class. The climax of our Junior year will be another triumph—The Junior-Senior Prom. Page twelve

FRESHMEN It was with views of joyous anticipation that we Frosh enrolled in the high school last September. Inexperienced as we were, we soon learned the meaning of the word “sophistication,” of which the upperclassmen spoke. In October the Sophomores put on for our benefit, the Freshmen Party. In this they certainly produced a myriad of wondrous surprises delightful to behold. As our Freshman class looks forward to the years to come, we expect to serve as an inspiration to those that are to follow in our footsteps. CLASS OFFICERS President............................
