LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORY TN THEIR first year of high school life and activities the Sophomores have accomplished much to be proud of. Besides having one of the largest class enrol ments m M— N history, the Tenth-Graders have gained distinction by their willing coop- eration and their fine progressive spirit. More than amply repre- sented were the Sophs on the different athletic teams, in the dra- matic and operatic casts, and in the other school organizations. The generous donation of two thanksgiving baskets, the highest subscription percentage to the ‘Mar-News,” and three champion basketball teams that copped all available honors in the intra- mural games, are some of the things we look upon with pride. With this type of progress continuing, our future school years will be happy and abundant ones.

ENROLLMENT ACTIVE W E STARTED the fall of 1941 with an enrollment of about sixty pupils. Several were strangers to Marple-Newtown, but they soon became accustomed to our methods. The two Ereshman Classes combined and gave a very successful Christmas Party. During guidance periods many took part In discussions of various topics. Several members of the Freshman Class took part In the operetta as dancers and in the chorus. Some of the members took part In athletic activities, assembly speeches, and assembly programs. Since this is our last year m Junior High, we hope to do bigger and even more successful things In the forthcoming senior years.
