NliS CLASSES They Make the Wheels Go ’Round The boys and gtrls In Norman High School's classes, the seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and eighth graders, are as interesting as they are plentiful. Jack Brixey, who is en- [13] grossed in the chemistry experiment in the above picture, is typical of tlie seniors who placed high in scholastic honors and showed their capability on the athletic field. The Juniors, not to be outdone by their older brothers and sisters, showed their prowess in grade-making by plac- ing a goodly number of their class on the National Honor Society and the school’s many athletic teams. The sophomores, bless them, without whose enthusiasm the school would, indeed, be a dreary place in which to learn, pulled through a spectacular year in everything with which they were concerned. The freshmen and eighth graders had many fingers in the scholastic pie, participated in every activity open to them, and, like the rest, did very well at it.
