'fhe Sophomore class fervently hopes that everyone learned a lesson from her. Several of our boys won football awards while one earned a basketball letter. One of our girls became a cheerleader during the year. A large number of us were members of the band and chorus. When we come back to school next year we will all be a little older and better equipped to face the problems which will confront us in our Junior year.

Since there were so many upperclassmen in the choir. Miss Kohler organized a Freshman Chorus. This chorus sang at the Christmas Cantata and took part in the operetta Jerry of Jericho Road.” In March we had charge of an assembly program which was well received by the students and faculty. We are now working for the day when we will be upperclassmen of Memorial High School. T H f S PAGE SPONSORED BY TUMBUSH'S EGG PLANT THE ST. MARYS GRAIN COMPANY 129]
