SOPHOMORES Last September the class chose as its officers for the Sophomore year the following members: Russel Stroup - President, Roger Wagner - Vice President, Ray Oille - Secretary, Marcia VanDenBerg - Treasurer, Douglas Miller - Student Board Representative. Under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Warra and Mr. Roland, our class has participated in various activities. Since we originated the idea of an annual King and Queen of Football Contest in our Freshmen year, it was one of our first responsibilities as Sophomores to once again sponsor the affair. This being very successful, we began our money making projects of this year. With the approach of the School Fair the Sophomore English classes challenged the Junior History classes to a contest to see who could prepare the best exhibit suitable to their classes. 26

The American History and the Sophomore English classes had a contest at the Community Fair. The classes all worked very hard, each trying to have the best display. The American History class won, so the Sophomores gave a party for us. Mr. Powers and Mr. Cooper were in charge of these proiects. The class officers met with representatives from different ring companies to determine from which company we would buy our class ring. The class decided that we buy from the Josten Company of Milwaukee. Through the help of our class sponsors, Miss Force and Mr. Skeberdis, who have helped us with all our projects, we feel we have had ci very successful year and hope for even more success in our Senior year.

The penalty for this loss was a pot luck dinner given in honor of the victors. Another proiect we encountered throughout this year was the sale of pencils with the inscription written on them lmlay City Spartans. The athletic teams have also been fortunate in having many able Sophomores participate in football basketball and baseball. All in all, we have been successful and hope thot our good fortune will continue. We, the class of '54, are looking forward to entering our Junior and Senior years. We will try to carry on the school traditions as well as has the class of '52 and former graduates. 27
