Our scrub year had at last passed: we were now sophomores and could gaze at the new class coming in with the thought that there was now one class below us. The curtain rises on the revolving sophomore stage. and the spotlight first falls on the afternoon school's House of Representatives, the Motto Club. Their cor- ridor patroling was resumed under the newly elected president, Edward McGarry. As the fall advanced. the spotlight fell on the numerous sophs whose interest in sports increased. Johnstone and Peck played in the tennis finals. with Peck emerg- ing the Afternoon Boys' Tennis Champ. The girls likewise were well represented in tennis by Esther Lopatin, who captured the finals in the girls' P. M. tournament. Many of the prominent clubs reorganized. such as the VVriters', Debating. and Hiking Clubs. Aviation enthusiasm led to the organizing of the Aero Club. with Everett Glad- ding as its president. The members of the club participated many trips to airports and aviation plants such as the Sikorsky and VVhitney plants and Brainard Field. VVhile interest increased in the wide open spaces above. Mr. Lagroe formed an As- tronomy Club. The Dramatic Club elected as its president, Lambert Irons. and as its secretary. Margaret Andrews. They presented many well-directed plays. among which was the Christmas play. Christmas at Einnigan's Flat. Eighty-five students comprised the P. M. orchestra with Simon Seledcnsky as concert master. ln the Music VVeek concert. with all the musical organizations in the P. M. School participating. the orchestra took the leading part. The P. M. Chorus resumed activities to surpass the standards the previous P. M. chorus had attained. by successfully tackling the cantata The Building of the Ship. The fall closed with many football aspirants bowing before the spotlight. Eddie Bobinski and john Urbanski both earned the privilege of playing football for the varsity while sophomores. A strong afternoon squad was formed for the first time, which afforded Chick Bowen a large group of candidates to pick from for the fol- lowing year's varsity team. The winter was ushered in by a strong hockey team bearing the banner for the class of '33, its record will be hard to surpass. and one of the best seasons a soph team has had was enjoyed. although the team bowed to the varsity to the tune of 2-0. The revolving stage turns. and again Eddie Bobinski is presented before the footlights as an outstanding member of the varsity basketball team. The animal intra-mural volley-ball tournament was resumed and the boys' intra- mural basketball tournament was staged. with Il B7 receiving the honors of being intra-mural champ. Hickey flashed in great style for the victors. The sophomore class again led the honor roll for january, and likewise retained the crown in March and April. The Motto Club. with the cooperation of the sophomores. held a successful social. With the calling of the spring. the Cinder path and baseball diamond occupied the stage. Lewis starred in the high jump as did Cojenza in the broad jump. The diamond revealed future prospects for the varsity in Harrv Dickinson and john Pal- mieri. Tn the Sentinel competition. the Editorial Board selected Lambert Irons. Benjamin Silverman. Lillian Mermin, and Phyllis VVatrous. Jack Kinney and jack Field gained places on the Business Board. And. with the slowing up of this great revolving stage. the curtain slowly drops on a presentation that it would be hard for another class to equal. ALD HQIJSTON. 18
