l THE STATESMAN Sophomore Write - ups Swimming races and stunts were the main features of theswim- ming party, held November 14, when the Sophomore class start- ed its social activities. Don Harris, modeling an oldfashioned bath- ing suit, was the victim of a mock life-saving act when he was res- cued by Marjorie Thompson and Wallace Taylor. The study hall was transformed into a winter-wonderland with midnight blue and silver decorations on the night of the tradition- al Freshman-Sophomore hop on January ll. For entertainment, the class staged an amateur program. A quartet, composed of Dorothy l-lostettler, Betty Ruggles, Roberta Mitchell, and Marjorie Thompson, who sang Sweet Flossie Farmer received first prize. Bob Cook as the world's worst an- nouncer and Bill Clark, as the worst gong-ringer also received prizes. The novel event of the year was a combination Leap Year- Valentine party. The girls invited and escorted the boys. They also had the pleasure of asking the boys for the dances. White picket fences with large, red hearts bordered the room while the ceiling and walls, were a maze of smaller hearts. Class officers are Fred Gressard, president, Wallace Taylor, vice - president, jean Douglass, secretetaryg and Bill Mclntyre, treasurer. There are 79 members in the class, 38 girls and 41 boys. The Sophomore class boast of having many who are talented. Charles Woodhouse spoke over the radio from Columbus about the trip which he won for having written an essay. Some day in the future, we are expecting to see Betty Fink uhoofing it behind the footlights of some large theater. The debate team will carry on ably next year with leanne Claypoole, Bill Wilson and Roger Cunningham, who have.been very active this year. A brilliant future is predicted for Wallace Tayler, the talented artist of our class. Dorothy Hostettler has been borrowed from the other classes in the high school to be pianist at many functions. Carolyn Byrne, the Sarah Bernhardt of our class, has already acted in a one-act play which the Dramatic club gave in February, as well as directing another play. ,i- . , , PAGE 34
