SOPHOMORE OFFICERS John Campbell President. Helen Rippetoe, Vice-president Electa Ranson, Secretary William Kirk Student Council Gene O ' Hara Student Council Joe Farris Publicity director CLASS OF FORTY- THREE When the class organized at the beginning of the school year, it chose as its officers John Campbell, president; Helen Rippetoe, vice-president; Electa Ranson, secretary-treasurer; and the Gene O ' Hara-Bill Kirk combination for Student Council representatives... Joe Farris was selected as the class publicity director in charge of publicizing all sophomore-sponsored functions. Among the beauties of the class the names of Charlotte Morris and Helen Rippetoe seemed to shine like beacons above the rest. Queenly brunette Miss Rppetoe secured the school ' s outstanding beauty honor by being selected to reign over the annual May Day observance. Miss Morris was the sophomore candidate for Miss Morris Harvey selection during the half-time of the Glenville Homecoming game. In addition, the attractive candidate served as an attendant to her class mate in the May Queen court. The sergeant at arms of the Student Council was sophomore president John Campbell, who is also Pan- Hellenic representative from Phi Sigma Phi. Earlena Morris acted in the capacity of head cheerleader with second-year men Charles Bradley and Bill McKee as her assistants. Miss Morris was also the prelate of Phi Kappa Sigma. Olive Fielding was vice-president of Alpha Mu sorority while Ruth Byrd acted as secretary-treasurer of the same group. Miss Fielding also served as assistant editor of the Harveyan while Joe Farris was class editor, and Miss Fielding was managing editor and circulation manager and Farris was promotion manager of the Comet. Farris also took a part in the Blackfriar ' s production at the State Intercollegiate Speech festival. It is needless to mention that the editor of the Harveyan is sophomore Paul Fitzwater, while Henry Swoope was also prominent in college publications, acting as advertising manager of the Comet the first semester and as business manager of the Harveyan . Swoope served Zeta Kappa as vice-president. The social calender of the class contains two significant dates for the 1940-41 school year. On October 18, a sophomore class party was held to which only second yearlings and guests were admitted. Proceeds of the affair were used to sponsor the first annual Turkey Hop presented during the Thanksgiving holidays. The Hop was considered to be one of the most successful parties of the school year. Both parties were under the chairmanship of Helen Rippetoe, vice-president. 30
