SOPHOMORE HISTORY It was September sixth and we were once again back in harness. No trace of the inferiority complex that prevailed in the preceding year was found in this band of Sophomores, 81 strong, who swarmed the library that opening day. Would it be Latin and Geometry or just Commercial Arithmetic to ply our brains with? That was the question we asked ourselves as we pondered over the instruction sheets. At first the days were hot and sultry and nobody felt like working, but came October and officers were elected. The victims were: J ack Rumbach, president, Denzel Conolty, vice president, Eddie Schaaf, treasurerg and Rita Schneider, secretary. The Sophomore candidates for Basketball Queen were: Anna Marie Shurig, Rita Mae Schneider, and Anna Mae Kiefer. The first basketball game saw two sophomores, Roman Pfeffer and Felix Hoffman fighting for J. H. S., while two more Sophs, Betty Krodel and Mary C. Berger, filled yell leaders' shoes for shall we say shirts?J as chief Wildcat spurrers-on. By November the class was pondering over the bids for class pins and finally decided upon one. We chose blue and gold as class colors. About this time we passed a new measure calling for an Executive Committee which provided for the Secretary of Social Affairs, Anna Mae Kiefer and Secretary of Programs, Bernard Vonderschmitt. The class would-be actors had a chance to show their ability when the Sopho- mores presented a Swing Version of the Death of Caesar as an assembly program on January 23. When the sectional debate tourney was held here in February, Sophomores Mary Catherine Berger, Anna Mae Kiefer, Betty Jean Krodel, and Roy Rush were among the host debaters. In our second assembly program we paid tribute to the basketball team. The band, of which nine classmates are members, graciously aided us in putting on this post-season pep session. In the spring, the gay young Sophomore's fancy turns lightly to romance and baseball. We'll leave the ever-changing romance to take its course but we find that on March 30, when Coach Weir called for baseball candidates, second yearlings Pfeffer, Vonderschmitt, Conolty, and E. Hoffman were among the aspirants to appear. On April 27 the much anticipated, often postponed Sophomore party mate- rialized. Its success was due to the efforts of a committee composed of Anna Marie Shurig, Mildred Smith, Dolores Ernst, P. Litchfield, .lack Hief, and Betty Krodel.
