Absent: Joanne Chaffee 1 i 1 1 K i 1 W i S 8 The Sophomore Class began its year by electing the following officers. Carolyn Bean, president, Glenn Ellis, vice-president, Shirley Hansen, secretary -treasurer, Connie Bennett, class editor, Joanne Chaffee, and Elizabeth Quick, representatives for the Student Council. We were very lucky in having Mr. Waterman as our class advisor. In the beginning of the year we decided one way to raise money for our class rings would be to have weekly dues of ten cents. Various other activities we spon- sored to augment our treasury were the Sophomore Hop and other parties. Also we sold more subscriptions during the magazine drive than any other class. Oh, we were wise, I'm telling you, and sometimes managed to fix the Juniors and the Seniors by popping up with some new idea for raising money. At least we have enough to pay for our class rings. This means that next year we can start raising money for our class trip The class has had quite a few parties including a hay-riding party, a Christmas party with the Seniors, skating parties, hot dog roasts, class hikes and a party at Mr. Waterman's. We hope that when we are Juniors and Seniors Cif we ever arel that we will be able to have as much fun as we have had this year. On March 21, we presented an assembly program about manners. We, being the best mannered people in high school--ahem--thought that it would be a good topic for us. We put on skits to represent good and bad manners which the audience found quite funny. The Sophomore Hop turned out to be a huge success. The decorations were beauti- ful and the music was divine. It was quite a gala affair and we hope everyone en- joyed themselves as much as we did. The two candidates fr m our class, Shirley Hansen and the great Prize-fighter, Glen E111g won the honor of being King and Queen of the Junior Prom. Yes, they were elected, so you see the Sophomore Class is very popular--at least we think so. -elizabeth quick- 4 4 s s 1 1 u 1 4 4 e lk

Absent: Beverly Ostrander and Rita Barlow As we are about to advance to a higher rung on the ladder of education, we pause to look back on the happy memories that we, the Junior Class, shared. The highlight of the year was the Junior Prom. Under the able leadership of our advisor, Miss Miller, and with the cooperation of the entire class, the Prom was a great success. The class undertook several money-making projects to give us a worthwhile treasury balance. Among the projects were: tag day, a card party, the selling of personalized stationery, several scrap paper drives, and the class participation in the Curtis mage ezine selling campaign held in the school. Along with the work, we have enjoyed several parties. At Christmas time we held a sledding party at Mildred Cheely's. Later we held another evening party at the home of Betty Bailey. In May we were asked to put on an assembly program. with the help of everyone k1 the class and Miss Miller we successfully presented NFol1ies of l9h7N. During the year we discovered that we had two celebrities in our class: Arlene Thetga, who played a piano solo over the radio program, WTalent for TomorrowN,and Dexter Chaffee, who won a prize, singing WSiou1 City Suen at an amateur show. Putting all these memories together they spell a wonderful junior year and we are anticipating an even better year as we become seniors. -nancy riegel- 13

Absent: Joanne Williams -------A ae -------- The Freshmen began their activities this year with a Tag Day. Orange and black tags were made with witch and cat designs to be appropriate for the Halloween season at which time the tags were on sale at school. The proceeds from this enterprise furnished re- freshments at a class party held in the Music House shortly afterwards. Perhaps the most profitable undertaking was the class participation in the Magazine Campaign, the Freshmen class taking third place in the sales contest held in the school. Other parties were successfully staged through the year with the help of the class advisor, Mr. Riegel. On November twenty-second Mr. and Mrs. Riegel supplied prizes and games: the girls of the class served cider and sandwiches at a very enjoyable evening frolic. A more active party was the one on Valent1ne's Day at Cady Hall where the class with their guests found much fun in exciting games of volleyball and basketball. We watch in amazement as the upper classmen rush about wildly in their activities and know that from now on, we too will lead a busy class life. -calvin cornell- 15
