Sophomore Qfficers ROWENA Ll!-'JOHN Vice President Gtfxnvs Ross Treas urer lDONALD Diuczczs President J EAN ETTE Boivi BECK MAXINE WOODFIELD Song Leader .Secretary WITH an enrollment larger than that of either the juniors or seniors, the lively class of '38 has started its outstanding history during its first year at Salem high, In order to have all the classes starting at the first of the year, the mid-termers in the junior highs were given a chance for double promotion by passing required tests. Consequently, the freshiesu arrived five hundred and eighty-eight strong, exceed- ing the j uniors' total by more than ninety and the seniors by one hundred seventy-nine. The sophomores elected an enthusiastic group of officers whom you should recognize by the following descriptions: Don Driggs, class president, may often be seen striding down the halls in a blue checked sweater. He needs nothing but a gavel and the strength of his right arm to keep order in the assemblies. The secretary, Maxine Woodfield, is a whiz at playing popular music and is in great demand at the assemblies. Gladys Ross deserves the credit for keeping the treasury full, at least as full as possible. Jeanette Bombeck, song queen, and Melvin Groves, yell king, accomplished the tremendous task of teaching the eager sophs to sing and yell as loud as the other classes. They were very successful. 'Tis well to behave when Wayne Curry is around, for he is the sophomore sergeant-at-arms. Albert Al Curry, the cheerful forensic manager, has the reputation of being the happiest person in school. Georgie Arbuckle, athletic manager, upheld the part of a bashful young lover in the sophomore play. 50

Sophomore Council, THE outstanding events planned by the sophonfiore council for the benefit and entertainment of the class were the skate held Llanuary 10th at Dreamland Rinki the play, Kidnapping Betty , which was given April 235 and the all-sophomore dance to be held May 15th. The success of the skate was obvious when it was found that every pair of skates was in use and more were needed. There were several outstanding performers there, but Curtiss Bock and Leora North won the prize for the best couple skating. The sophomores set a record for spills and cider drinking that night, and a few are still removing splinters. Mrs. Claudine Elbert, class adviser, coached the play, Kidnapping Betty , a clever one-act comedy, which was presented in the assembly April 23rd. The characters were: Dan, the hero, Alan Siewertg Betty, the heroine, Elizabeth Steed, Molly, Dans aunt, jere Simmons, Sally, an old maid, Maxine Woodfield, Joanna, Dans sister, Delva Lebengoodg Bud, chore boy, George Arbuckleg and Nat, Betty's father, Billy Mudd. Mr. Marshall Pengra has helped the class treasurer with all financial affairs, while Mr. Neil Brown always had interesting suggestions for the social activities. The sophomores won many compliments on their performance in the song and yell contest even if they did lose. The song team made up of twenty selected girls represented the school colors by black skirts, white blouses, and red barrel sweaters. The song leaders, Jeanette Bombeck and Maxine Holt, were in twin blouses of white silk, strikingly contrasted to the red and black background. The team marched to the platform and formed the Viking At the beginning of the second verse of the song, which was written by Elizabeth Steed, a smaller V of kneeling girls formed inside the large one. This V was the rah section using for volume Salem hi megaphones. Phyllis Selander and Elizabeth Steed were the pianists. The audience liked the performance so well that the team was asked to repeat it. The yell, written by Orval Cooley and Bob King, was equally as effective. Though they lost this contest, the sophomores are especially proud of other records. Their debate team, made up of Rowena Upjohn, jere Simmons, Elizabeth Grant, Alan Smith, Kenneth Boyle, and Arthur Nichols, succeeded in attaining a one point victory over the other two classes, and the girls rated second in sports. The sophomores placed first on the honor roll the second six weeks with a record number of honor students.
