 opljotnore Clastf September found us at New Paltz High as the last entering Sophomore Class. When classes settled down we elected class officers and chose our representatives to the Student Senate. Early in the term we shared honors with the Freshmen at the annual Welcome Party. Our class was well represented in school activities, including the Band, Glee Club, Art Club, and Journalism. The class was very active in the Red Cross Tuberculosis Drive. Cartoons and articles were submitted, one of which appeared in the Nepa Hi Liles. We, the Sophomores, enjoyed participating in these and other activities of New Paltz High. CLASS OFFICERS Jfrefiijman Class We Freshmen arrived here in September, wishing we had maps to find our way around, asking where the rooms were, and wondering where the labyrinthine halls would lead us next. Almost as soon as we got acquainted with the terrain, mid-years were upon us. The results weren’t at all bad either. In our maiden year as N.P.H.S. students we took part in many activities Intramural Basketball, Glee Club, Journalism, and such. We are looking forward to the next three years here as we become more familiar with our surroundings.

 future farmers of America Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve New Paltz Future Farmers try to live up to this motto of their organization. They are greatly encouraged to strive towards this goal by awards of the New Paltz Huguenot Grange and the American Agriculturist. Class work of high order, developing a farming program, evidence of thrift and leadership determine these awards. Henry Mertz was the 1946 winner. During this school year, the future farmers were called upon to help finance the new State F. F. A. Leadership Camp. By selling magazine subscriptions and flower seeds, and holding a very successful carnival, they were able to add materially to this fund. Their many and varied activities include: target rifle shooting and contests, social and business meetings, judging and athletic meetings with other F. F. A. chapters in this state. The club officers were: Herbert Alexander President Jimpiy Klyve ,i ( -President William Cuthbert Earl Jenkins Guy Gardner Gilbert Marks Norman Gardner Frederick Heinsohn art Club This is the second year in which the Art Club has accomplished many things for the school. It has made posters, party decorations, prom bids, murals, and conducted assembly programs. Credits were earned by the members and they received a special art emblem after they earned 100 or more points. Page twenty-five
