Sophomores played a large part in initiation, but things were different when the tug-of-war came because we lost for our second time. Sophomores wound up by giving the Freshmen a weiner bake. A couple of days after school started we all got together and chose our officers and sponsors. Joan Brand, presidentg Edell Ellis, vice president: Sandra Courtney, secretary. and Cary Newton, treas- urer. and the sponsors elected were Mr. Green and Mr. McNaughton. who we wish to thank for their fine sponsoring. .gun Z7 - fn 4 ag so ff 'QW' JA! dnl ' I ' 1 .
