the elm tree l934 Svnphnmnrr ltlintnrg Scrubs - the name had gone from our minds, and we no longer answered that call. The majority of us strutted around the halls making it as unpleasant as pos- sible for the lower classmen. We were sophomores. Eagerly we plunged into extra-curricula activities. As soon as Mrs. Wakeman began work on the formation of the orchestra, our class responded with such gifted musicians as Milton Lebov, Elliot Kronish. Elizabeth Hall, and Harold Contig the orchestra as a consequence had to be divided into two units. At a spring assembly the chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Wakeman, gave a delightful program, to which we contributed generously. We were so versatile that there were hardly clubs enough to satisfy our interests. When the Aero Club began, it was led by Everett Gladding. a capable president. To make the meetings interesting and instructive for the members, the leaders of the club made plans for inspection tours of such aeroplane plants and factories as the Sikorsky Plant, the Pratt and Whitney Plant. and Brainard Field. That year the Sophomore Debating Club was directed by Robert Lovelace as president. The club debated on subjects of international importance. The Writers' Club elected Robert Ollayos. president: Charles Logan. vice-president, Rachel Morgan, secre- tary, Harry Meadow, Golden-Book chairmang and Marcia Goldys, manuscript secretary. Their faculty adviser, Miss Garvin, had planned a most interesting pro- gram for the year. Stanley Allen and Yvette Gittleson were the winners of the two prizes given by the Writers' Club. The Dramatic Club was made up of about seven-- ty-two members, who elected Harry Meadow, president, Harold Finck, secretary and treasurerg and Betsy Adams, executive chairman. Some of the members of the club showed their skill in Latin pronunciation when they presented the play Medi- cus for one of our sophomore assemblies. That year our archers welcomed the formation of an Archery Club under the supervision of Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Gartland's team of Sophs outdid Mr. Timlin's freshman team in an exciting game of touch-football. This competition lasted for about six weeks, and was strenuous, worth-while exercise for all the boys that played. Our swimmers often splashed to victory under their captain, Lee Burgess, and their manager, Newton Sanford. VVhen spring came, we were pleased to hear that II C5 was the victor in the Sophomore Basketball Intra-Mural Tournament. The girls eagerly responded to the call for field hockey aspirants. Even though they were defeated by the A. M. girls, they worked well under the direction of their cap- tain, Ros Sterman. Ros remained tennis champion of the sophomores, and she and Betty Terry were excellent representatives of the school in the State Tourna- ment. The largest student organization of the afternoon school, the Motto Club, was directed by such capable officers as President Bill Keane, Vice-President Bob Ollayos, Secretary Rachel Morgan, Treasurer Charles Logan, and Marshall-in- Chief Ted O'Connor. The separate divisions in the Motto Club directed several sophomore assemblies. A very interesting play presented by Divisions II A6 and II All was Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil . 20

the elm tree I .,,.,,., During that year the Athletic Association presented the annual musical revue Happy Days . Some of our talented sophomore thespians who took part were Ethel Moore, Virginia Clarke, Jack Cavallaro, and Richard Pettaway, who helped to make the affair a success. Albro Downe was the only member of our sophomore class to make the Gleam Art Board. Our classmates who won recognition during their sophomore year as essay writers and those that received the highest mark in prize tests were Philip Sapin, Richard Turner, Thomas Edmonson, Nathalie Goldstein, and Edna Chauser. These outstanding students won Hrst prizes. Two classmates who were outstand- ing for their art work were Ruth Erickson and Albro Downe. Our second year closed with the social held by the Sophomore Motto Club in the gymnasium. This was a suitable climax to our year's activities. Before we realized it, June had come and our sophomore year was over, leaving in our hearts many pleasant memories. GRACE LYONS. Nh! Qill ,ggpyly-'y,Lxugg01ll '-W-' +ia4-- '-1-' 21 f I934 '
