THE JU IOR CLASS S you look on the junior Class of '43, you will wonder little how we accomplished the different things we did during the last school year. Our freshman year was just a chance to get started and our sophomore year gave us an opportunity to grow up. As a result this Junior Class has had more spirit and cooperation in doing things than any other class in our school's history. For president we chose Robert Espe, who has held this ofhce for three years. Our class also had the honor of having one of its members, May Donnelly, as Student Council President. The main event in every junior year is its Prom. But do you think we waited for that? We gave two class dances previous to thc Prom to provide funds and also to give the student body something to do evenings when gas and tires fyes, girls, even fellowsl are rationed. These dances brought a total profit of over eighty dollars. Anthony Stella as Prom Chairman and a very helpful and cooperative Com- mittee made possible this dance, which was held May fourteenth at the Elks, Auditorium. The music was provided by Spiegle Willcox and his ten piece band with an additional girl vocalist. Sport activities? Yes, we were tops in that, too!! The varsity basketball team was made up almost entirely of junior men. Among the leading players were l'Stonewall Jackson, Ant,' Stella, Bob Espe, and l'Casanova Fletcher. But let's not forget the girls! Virgie Maen Baier, Captain, and Loretta Pudge Jerome, and Dot Jamesson were the outstanding girls of the class. If you think this class went places this year, wait until you see the class of '4-4. With the spirit and enthusiasm displayed this year, we can't help but be the best class to graduate from high school.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS :LAST june most of us passed our Freshman exams and were elated with the idea of being Sophomores in the fall. The summer passed and September came sooner than was expected. We all came back with many new ideas. Most of our new pupils came from 'Tioga Center. An assembly was held for them and they were welcomed by everyone. In class meeting we elected the following officers: Scott Smith, President, Bernard Loftus, Vice- President, Betty Woodburn, Secretary, and Margaret Wallace, Treasurer. Our Student Council Repre- sentatives were Beverly Bendle and Robert Travis, and Class Advisers, Coach Hubbard and Miss Hamil- ton. With such a list of fine officers and advisers the class was off to a good start. In the Held of sports we were well represented by our boys. We had Ed. Lockwood, Scott Smith, jimmy Schmitt, Bernard Loftus, and many others. Well do we remember the game so long awaited with Vestal. It was the most exciting game ever attended. Near the end of the time the score kept getting closer and closer. Coach put Ed. Lockwood in and he played splendidly, making a couple of baskets. We know he had a great deal to do with our winning. Our boys did so well last year that we warn all the teams that play the school next year, Beware of next year's Juniors! The girls did well in sports, too. They played the other classes and won or lost in a fine sporting manner. Their fine playing was due to Miss Cunningham's splendid supervision. At the games the cheerleaders were a valuable asset. Two of the leaders were from the Sophomore Class, Betty Woodburn and Bob Travis. Several members of the class were prominent in the music department. Some were in band, choir and a few in the orchestra. Talent was shown by many in that field. Eleanor Taylor was the leader of the drum majorettes. She was good and we were very proud of her. Theresa Fahl wrote some cute jingles this term for the 'STimes.,' She gave some broad hints to many of us. There were many others who belonged to the Journalism Club. Our daily assistance in work for the paper helped make the school news interesting. Very good work was done by our class for the yearbook. lVIany were on the Tom Tomi' staff. The majority of these pupils were assigned to the advertising section. It kept us stepping to get everything done on time for the printer. WVe also had some ever faithfuls in our class. These were people who went with girls or boys from their class or with pupils from the other classes. The only teacher we all had was our English teacher, Mrs. Blanchard. Next year we'll miss her oral book reports and diagrams. We all had a very interesting year. Many had very high marks and if this continues it will be difficult to pick our valedictorian. Next year we are going to have more fun with the Prom and other dances and social gatherings. This last year was a most successful and happy one for all of us. May the incoming Freshman Class enjoy the same good teachers and fine times that were had by the Class of 45.
