THE SOPHOMORE PLAYERS The Sophomore Class returned to school this year with vigor and enthusiasm for their year's work. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: David Bailey, Presi- dent; Janice Lee Jayred, Vice President; Shirley Ostrander, Secretary; and Ray Pethtel, Treasurer. Our class advisers this year were Miss Shimmon and Mr. Smith. We elected Shirley Emmett and Robert Roberts to represent us on the Student Council. Later in the term Jacob Mavko took up the duties left vacant by Robert Roberts. Our first social activity, a theatre party in Painesville on October 8th, was well attended. Mr. Smith and Miss Shimmon were our chaperons. As their part of the program for Stunt Night the Sophomores presented the play entitled St. George and the Dragon. Our Valentine's Dance on February 14th was the most successful dance of the year, financially and in the spirit of good times. There were games provided for those who did not care to dance while Gladys Nash provided music for the dancers. The main feature of the evening was the presentation of Janice Lange as the Queen of Hearts. On February 20th three Sophomores represented our class at the annual Scholarship Banquet held at Kirtland. They were: Shirley Ostrander, Herbert Kubach and Janice Lee Jayred. Many of our Sophomores were cheered on the gridiron and the basketball floor. In fact we can boast of no less than ten Sophs going out for basketball. Our Sophs also participated in other activities and clubs and were well represented in Chorus, Band, Hi-Y, Girl Reserves and the Mirror Staff. nineteen

THE JUNIOR PLAYERS The Junior Class of '40 and '41 opened session with the following officers being elected: Louis Mavko, President; Stanley Babic, Vice President; Robert Henninge, Secre- tary; and David Demos, Treasurer. At the same time representatives to the Student coun- cil were chosen; namely Janice Lange, Jean Stimpert, Phil Anderson, and William Pethtel. Plans were started for ways to earn money for the Prom. The selling of candy at noons was conducted as usual by the Juniors. Also as the annual custom the class had the privi- lege of selling magazine subscriptions. Much cooperation was shown and over $100 worth of subscriptions were sold, about $45 of which was received by the class for their efforts. Their first social affair was a class theatre party held in the fall. As their contribution to the Stunt Night Program, the Juniors gave their version of a kindergarten class. On January 25th the Junior Class sponsored a Snow Ball Dance which was held in the gym. Decorations were very appropriate and effective. Music was furnished by Hurley- Warren. Several of the football lettermen were Juniors. They were also very active on the basketball team; Donald Wickert being Captain. The Scholarship Club boasted eight Junior members. And then the Prom, for which all had been looking forward, was held April 25th at the Mentor Harbor Yacht Club in the form of a dinner dance. Janice Lange was Prom Chairman. Miss Richardson was our class adviser. eighteen

The year started off well with the election of the following officers: President, Donald Stamm, Vice-President, Ray Hoffacker; Secretary, Elsie Mavko; Treasurer, Sheldon Lesh. Class advisers were Miss Matlack and Mr. Tidd. The program committee, consisting of Lawrence Wirtzberger, chairman, with Betty Clemens, Winifred Trisket, and Clifton Rea assisting him, served its purpose well in providing various means of entertainment during the meetings. The class boasted six members on the Scholarship Club, namely Marjorie Barry, Betty Dodge, Joan Nash, Laura Grace Peckham, Charlotte Ellis, and Clifton Rea. The first class theatre party, held at the Lake Theater on February 8th, was a great success, as were our other numerous activities, among them, the Freshman Dance held on April 4th.
