□ THE '45 ONARQUOIS □ SOPHOMORE SAGACITY □ □ Yep, here we are for the second time. We haven’t changed much except, perhaps we don’t shake in our boots when a senior walks by; we leave that for the freshmen. This year’s Sophomore class elected the following officers: Paul Fryer, president; Marge Homer, vice president; Warren Peters, secretary-treasurer. Soon after the “election day” we did the customary thing by giving our reception for the Freshman Class. Entertainment was nice, food was grand, and everybody enjoyed himself. It might have seemed that the Sophomores were idle, but oh! no. They contributed members to band, Glee clubs, sports, paper and annual staffs. Then just before Christmas some of us had the opportunity to display our acting ability, with the cooperation of a few Freshmen and Miss White. We gave a production for the student body and a few parents, entitled “Luncheon For Six”. After Christmas vacation the Sophomores came back with plenty of pep, zip, and what have you. Semester exams were staring us in the face. But never fear, we all came through this ordeal with “flying colors.” Our second stage production, again in cooperation with the Freshmen was none other than, “Elmer”. We’re stage veterans now. Carnival time soon rolled around and we went to work with the aid of our sponsor and erected three booths. Our candidates for King and Queen were Paul Fryer and Marge Homer. (Note: We had the biggest sign in the gym). With the Carnival off our minds we went back to the classrooms and settled down to study to finish another year of school. We Sophomores have enjoyed this year of school, and a thanks to Mrs. Cox, our sponsor, who helped us make it so.

□ THE ’4 5 ONA R Q U O I S □ FRESHMAN FANTASIES □ □ “We Got a Right to Sing the Blues” — almost, but not quite, we have reached the end of our year of agony. Guess what? Next year we’re sophs! Just a backward glance now, at our trials and tribulations. We were formally welcomed into OTHS with a Soph-Frosh reception, at which we had a wonderful time — and that’s no kidding! As things progressed during the year, we have a faint recollection of a cold fountain on the seat of our pants — bells, confusion, and more bells. Mary elected cheerleader — Myers, on the football team — Buddy started on the second B. B. team — and shivering in our shoes in algebra — our “hard times” party, at which Kenny “Lcm-U-cH” Palmer took the first prize for being the worst dressed — struggling in dancing class — and weren’t our representatives slick at the Carnival?—Learning how to leave Study Hall under Miss Doley’s eye—and lots of wonderscrumtuous experiences—why didn’t somebody tell us this is what it took to reach our sophomore year? Know what, tho? We’re glad we have three more years to go — and may they be as full of fun and hard work as this year — the latter we have no doubts about! Here we want to tell you of our Miss Doley and Coach Walters, whom we thank for helping us struggle through this year. They are our sponsors, and they’re swell!
