Sophomore Class History Little did we dream when we entered the N.T. H. S. on September I, 1937 that such good times and opportunities were in store for us. The majority of the sixty-eight of us were much too apprehensive; not green, you understand! As we became adjusted to the change, we organized our class, electing Edwin Johnson, president; Eilene Johnson, vice-president; and Virginia Schroeder, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Cox, sponsor; we later chose Miss Ruby to act in his place, due to the fact that Mr. Cox left us. The sophomores gave us a Hallowe'en party with all the fixins —a haunted hall, and decorations. Our advent into the social life of N. T. H. S. was a great success. Under the capable direction of Miss Ruby we gave the sophomores an April Fool party. Lester Livingston was one of the managers of the football team of '37-'38. Before we realized it, school was out, our summer vacation was over and we were back at the now familiar N. T. H. S. bearing the title and responsibility of sophomores. This year there were sixty-seven in the class. We elected Edwin Johnson, president for the second time; Virginia Schroeder, vice-president; and Rowena Christy, secretary-treasurer. This year we chose Mr. Bertolino as our sponsor. We gave the freshmen a dance on the night of December 19, 1938. This was the first strictly social event of the year and we were the first sophomore class ever to give a dance in the N.T. H. S. gym. The sophomore class is well represented in our school with Virginia Schroeder, Eilene Johnson, Edward Bald, Robert Watne, Edwin Johnson, and Bob Peel in the orchestra; Dale Browning and Bob Peel, football lettermen; Steve Furimsky, football manager; Eilene Johnson, carnival queen (the first sophomore to be in many years); and the sophomore girls’ basketball team came in second in the Girls' Community Tournament. We are looking forward to becoming juniors next year and it will be one more step up the long ladder of education. M. E. K. and E. J.
