SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY President, Shirley Smith Secretary, Elfrieda Griebel Vice-Pres., Frances Baisley Treasurer, Beatrice Loretz The class of '49 after having broken through the ranks of ‘‘Green Freshmen” and Sophisticated Sophomores’’ now look forward to claim- ing the title of ‘‘Jolly Juniors.” Our class has contributed greatly to the various activities of the year. In sports, we have held our own fairly well. With five boys on the J. V. team and one on the Varsity. Most of our girls are on the girls’ basketball team. Commercial Club, Photography Club, and Chorus have all been boosted by the attendance of members of our class. We are all looking forward to the eventful two years ahead which hold in store for us more significant and even greater achievements. (With plenty of fun too!)

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President, Gertrude Pinckney Secretary, Enis Dellosa Vice-Pres., Bob Nussbaum Treasurer, Dick Craft This year has been an eventful one for the Juniors because of their participation in real high school activities. As Juniors they have begun to raise funds for their Senior trip in various ways—selling pencils, Junior Play, ‘‘Case of Springtime’’, and their Junior Prom. With the arrival of their class rings they felt as though they really belonged. Many of our boys have participated in sports and are now a vital part of the teams. The girls have gone out for Cheerleading and most of the Varsity squad is composed of Junior Girls. With the closing of this term the Junior Class will be launched into seniorhood where they expect to set a record for themselves—and for their School.

FRESHMAN CLASS Group A Group B President—Audrey Cahill President—Joe Poscich Treasurer—Fred Creighton Vice-Pres.—Willie Kelm Secretary—Patt Curley Treasurer—Janet Rachel Secretary—Dorothy Rocher In September 1946 we finally reached High School and were known to all as Freshmen! At first we all felt new and shy, but after a while this wore off and we became used to the new atmosphere. Latin was soon regarded as a dread subject by all in that class and Miss Phillips had quite a time drumming the five cases into our heads. Algebra proved much the same and soon we were dreaming of X's looking like Miss Compton. Those who were taking commercial courses were exploring books in Junior Business Training and much to their dismay had scads of homework. In October 1946, we had a tea for our parents and charged 10 cents admission which the members of the class paid. This somewhat raised our treasury. Every one agrees that if we have as much fun during the rest of High School, as we have had in our Freshman year, we should all be happy.
