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

FRE HMA CLASS OFFICERS First Row. L. to R.--Erwin Ehr- hardt, Treasurer, Robert Travis, President, William Westover, Vice- Presidentg Lorraine Campbell, Sec- retary. Second Rowfjames Wood, Stu- dent Council Representative, Miss Sandford, Mr. Peabody, Advisers, Margaret Wallace, Student Council Representative. ELL! Here we are but not to stay. XVe've got too many other jobs to do. It seems just like yesterday that we started adding to our forces along the way. In all we have about one hun- dred thirty who are heading for the front. just to show you how we are fighting it out to the finish we have Scott Smith making direct hits for the Junior Varsity and Bill Westover and Harold Bennett on the football squad making the attacks. Also we have Eleanor Taylor out in front leading thc drum majorettes and Betty Wood- burn and Bob Travis on the home front cheering us on to the Hnish. Don't think the boys alone are making the hits and attacks because the girls are doing just as well. They are right out there with plenty of pep. Yes sir! Those are freshmen girls you see in the Red Cross who are busy sewing and knitting for those out in the front lines of the great battle. They sure are going to keep them going with all the different things they are making. They are the ones who are showing what we at home are doing for those at the front. YVC hope you don't think we are letting our marks slip with all these activities because we aren't. In fact we are raising them. We have quite a few who have been on the Honor Roll since this great battle started last September, and we hope to have many more. You just watch us speed up. On all the news flashes they are telling how Bob Travis' quick thinking got him second prize in the slogan contest and Margaret Wallace, who is right behind him got honorable men- tion. That shows you how we freshmen are working. We also had a bake sale and the freshmen girls really showed themselves there. You could smell that good food all over town and did it taste good? It also proved remunerative and helps to explain our picture in the Tom Tom. But of course these are only a few of the things the Freshmen Class are doing on the school and the home fronts. Our enemies are losing in all directions. They thought we were conquered in the first attack which was initiation, but we got together and showed the enemy force, who call them- selves seniors, we were always on the job. We, freshmen, are right in there firing our guns which we hope will hit the right mark. Nothing will suit us freshmen except to come out on top and we surely can do it. So, come on freshmen letis get out there and keep the guns roaring, let everyone know we're al- ways on the job, waving our red and blue flag high and showing them we can do what we set out to do. 28
