UNIOR CLASS OFFICERS First Row, L. to R.-Gerard Lof- tus, Treasurer, Marian Coleman, President, Evelyn Bogert, Vice- Presidentg Ellen Jacobs, Secretary. Second Row--Lorraine Hart, Stu- dent Council Representative, Mr. Morey, Adviser, Robert Van Natta, Student Council Representative, Miss Ryan, Adviser, Ruth Inscho, Student Council Representative. E JUNIORS took part in so many activities this year, that it was an outstanding one for us. At our first class meeting we elected Marian Coleman, President, Evelyn Bogert, Vice-Presi- dent, Ellen Jacobs, Secretary, Gerard Loftus, Treasurer, Robert Van Natta, Ruth Inscho, and Lorraine Hart, Student Council Representatives. Miss Ryan and Mr. Morey were chosen as our Faculty Advisers. James Gallwey, an active member of our class, was elected Vice-President of the Student Council. We were all glad that one of our class should hold this office. At a later meeting, Gerard Loftus was chosen chairman of the Junior Prom Committee and also of the Club Sahara, a supper club sponsored by the Junior Class. This proved to be a big success as it was something new in the way of dances. Nearly everything was had that is usually seen in a big club, including a fioor-show. The many customers enjoyed the entertain- ment provided. We held our own with other classes as far as sports were concerned. The captain of the 0. F. A. football team this year was Ray Cornwell, a Junior. Gerard Loftus and Mark Strong were also on the team. In track we had Gerard Loftus, Ray Cornwell, Murray Tyrrell, and John Hollingsworthg while Conrad Martin was our star basketball player. We must not forget the girls either, for there were some active junior girls on the basket- ball, volley-ball, and hockey teams. Lucille Whitney, Evelyn Bogert, Alice Winfield, Florence Covello, and Phyllis Ketchum represented the class in this field. Lucille VVhitney and Evelyn Bogert were also cheerleaders. As many of our class were interested in music, we had a number of members in band and orchestra. Those in band were: James Gallwey, Anthony Field, Frederick Lee, Robert Hickein, Ruth Inscho, Cleo McNeil, and Evelyn Bogert. In orchestra we were represented by James Gallwey, Robert Forbes, Murray Tyrrell. Mary Sibley, Henry Calvasina, Evelyn Bogert. Ruth Inscho, and Isabell Rieg. Beverly Keyes, Murray Tyrrell, James Gallwey, and Anthony Field were in the choirg so you see we had our share of musical talent. This year in the Public Speaking Contest, several of our class participated. They were: Beverly Keyes, Murray Tyrrell, Paul McTamney, Ruth Inscho, Phyllis Ketchum, and John Hol- lingsworth. Wie are very proud of them. As for scholastic ability it is safe to say that Frederick Bfiller, John Hollingsworth, Robert Van Natta, and Marian Coleman led the class. They were on high-honor roll nearly all year. In keeping with many patriotic movements in school this year, most of the class joined the Junior Red Cross, and each junior homeroom contributed generously to the Army Utility Bags. We were proud of, yet sorry to lose three members of the class, Charles Swift, Ray Corn- well, and WVilliam Brainard, who left school to join the United States Navy. All-in-all, this was a most successful year for us, and with the same class cooperation we have had this year, we are sure that our senior year will be just as successful. 24

OPHO ORE CLASS OFFICERS First Row, L. to R.--Herman Mil- lage, Treasurer, Robert Espe President, Jane Baker, Secretaryg Jean Brown, Vice-President. Second Row-Alice Winfield, Stu- dent Council Representativeg Mr. Phil Hubbard, Miss Crosier, Ad- visers: Mae Donnelly, Student Council Representative. 9 CCORDING to Webster, the word sophomore means 'fsimpletonf' However, early in the year, the Sophomore Class proved itself a contradiction to this and showed its wisdom in choos- ing its class officers and representatives. The following boys and girls were elected: Robert Espe, President, Jean Brown, Vice-President, Jane Baker, Secretary, Herman Millage, Treas- urer, Alice Winfield and May Donnelly, Student Council Representatives, Coach Phil Hub- bard and lNIiss Crosier, Advisers. Another proof of the unusual wisdom of the Sophomore Class is the fact, that, on the high honor roll, more than a third of the places have been held by sophomores and a large percentage of this class have consistently had averages of 85 and above. Such students as Wilma Babcock, Jack Brink, May Donnelly, Philip Nichols, Jean O'Connor, Howard Palmer, Elizabeth Schmeller, and Jeanne Yancey are noted for outstanding scholastic ability. Many sophomores, both girls and boys, have been active in sports. Of the girls, Virginia Baier led the field in hockey and Loretta Jerome starred in basketball. Several of the boys be- long to the Tuna Fish League and a large number of the boys on the J. V. team are sophomores. The Sophomore Class also showed itself musically gifted. The class is well-represented in orchestra, band, and choir, and a sophomore, Ellen Mason, is the accompanist for choir. The new second choir is mostly made up of sophomores. Besides these, the sophomores have participated in many other school activities. Some members such as Dorothy Reig and Pearl Hensen are talented artists. Others belong to the Journalism Club. 'The sophomore reporters, Philip Nichols and James Murray, have been espe- cially capable in handling the class news this year. One sophomore home room, Room 15, conducted a Good Citizenship campaign during the year to see who could make the greatest improvement toward better citizenship in school. The results of the drive were almost perfect citizenship in that home At the beginning of the school year, the size of the class members, some from Apalachin, some from Tioga Center, and I'O0I'I1. was decidedly swelled by new a number from various other near-by districts. These new members have contributed much to the class in both scholastic and athletic ability. Looking back on our sophomore year, it seems to us that, although we have had no out- standing events, such as a Junior Prom, or a Senior Play, or even a Freshman Initiation, we have enjoyed one of the happiest and most successful years of our school life. We have climbed one rung higher on the Victory ladder toward graduation. 26
