Following is an account of our achievements, to be judged by those whom it may concern. In the midst of the customary misunderstandings, errors, and general confusion, we started on our new life as Sophomores. A class of our calibre, however, could not long remain groping. From our ranks soon rose leaders from whom we chose our class oFFicers in January. Diclc Whitney was elected presidenti Gerry Wisbach, vice-president, Marcelia Rennard, secretary, and Chester Newey, treasurer. Acquaintanceships which ripened into Firm friendships were formed at the annual Sophomore dance, which was a success in every way. Talent was brought to the fore at the Sophomore Prize- Speaking Contest. Natalie Salter and Richard Lovell were the two winners. The last event of the year was the election of Junior class oFlicers. Robert Bishop was our president, Marcelia Rennard, vice-president, Janet Merrill, secretary, and Barclay Feather, treasurer. Our Junior year found us completely accustomed to our environment and taking a prominent part in all school activities despite, in most cases, an increased amount of studies. Many of our members were outstanding in athletics, while two had important roles in the Drama Club play. Robert Nolan, a Junior, carried off the honors in the Junior-Senior Prize-Speaking Contest sponsored by the English Club. The class dance, the Feminine Follies, provided entertainment and enjoyment For a large group. Fourteen
