JUNIOR OFFICERS STANDING: Janice Schmidt, treasurer; Walter Barkes, president. SEATED: Mary Louise Philion, secretary; Mr. Stout, spon- sor; Henry Karler, vice-president. Class offices usually bring more honor than hard work to those elected but this year’s jun- iors have really had to wrestle with prom plans. Now that’ they've made up their minds, the whole thing is greatly simplified — no dec- orations exgept the crystal chandelier in the Palais Royale and the girls’ formal dresses; at- tendance limited to the present student body in spite of all the dope on out of town dates. In- cidentally, seniors are having to pay an en- trance fee. English VI THIRD ROW: J. Zimmerman, Stefoff, F. Zimmerman, Todd, Katt, Lahr. SECOND ROW: Beiser, Birtwhistle, Voigt, Widup, Basham, Olcott. FIRST ROW: Baidinger, Fink, Schmitt, Ives, Taggart, Krueger, Lang, Vance. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS STANDING: Miss Moist, sponsor; Anna Mae Ehrmin, secretary; Richard Wardell, treasurer. SEATED: Norman Hahn, president; Tom Freeze, vice-president. Yearbook editors were delighted by Mr. Myers’ suggestion that all underclass pictures be taken in one day. Happily, that day dawned very bright and fair. Every hour, English teach- ers shepherded their flocks onto the front lawn so efficiently that pictures were snapped far in advance of schedule. Except for a few shy or stubborn freshmen who waited to be coaxed, underclassmen appear as of their first semester English class. Juniors appear first, naturally.

STUDENTS Carry Increased Kesponsibility With Mr. Broman elected chairman to suc- ceed Mr. Kuhn and Dick Wardell replacing Walter Schlegel, the Board of Control goes the usual pace supervising school finances. But the Student Council is growing as many arms as an octopus. As soon as students stopped wor- rying about limitations on their authority and began to do things, they were up to the eyes in work. Hall traffic was improved early in the year when a one way stair system was intro- Miss Wilson's successful management of the football concessions gave the council their first money in pocket and with it they instituted badly needed dance classes and frequent mix- er dances. Odd jobs, like the Red Cross drive among the students and plans for a service flag, have fallen to them. They inspect lockers daily, furnish hall guides and are working on library discipline problems. They meet every two weeks, and are rapidly gaining stature as student leaders. Miss Wilson has replaced Mr. Kuhn as adviser. duced — with students on guard to remind offenders.

Mr. Wood instructs in special physics. Precision classes prepare for factory jobs. Something New Has Been Added Special Physics is a state-prescribed course for boys who are slated for induction into serv- ice before next year. This is known as a re- fresher course, but these boys have had no previous training in the subject. They must cover, in one semester, elementary physics with special emphasis on electricity and the mechanics of gases, solids, and liquids. By way of explanation of the latter, the mechanics of solids is the study of forces such as wheels. The mechanics of gases ties up with aerody- namics and that of liquids with hydrostatics. Quite a lot to learn in one semester! We hope all those boys know plenty of math. Extracurricular courses in precision, financed by the government, have been offered to 17 and 18 year olds who promise that they will be ready to take a job on June 7. They must spend ninety hours in preparation and this little item brought them back to school during spring va- cation. These students learn to measure small parts with precision instruments and to com- English VI and IV Lutes. Overmyer, Staffeldt, Palsce, Cuen, Niver, Burns, Garman.
