ELLOl were the class of 748 who though not seniors, are beginning to glance back with pride and regret upon the passing years and with anticipation to the coming year. There is pride in our hearts because we know we have sincerely tried to master all the knowledge brought to us by our patient teachers-the knowledge that will help us decide right from wrong in a world that will soon be in our hands. And there is regret for the passing of these years with their youthful enthusiasms, good times and learning experiences that our future will be built upon. So in this junior year we have made the most of our opportunities. We have studied hard and and have taken part in many extra-curricular activities. By participating in these activities, we have been fitting ourselves to be sound in body and mind. Several girls belonged to the MON Club, and many a junior girl was among those who limped from a banged chin or a skinned knee, by-products of a basketball or a volleyball game. On the cheer- leading squad, three junior girls contributed much to morale building at crucial moments during football and basketball games. And of course, several junior boys were on the football, basketball and baseball teams. These boys played a big role in bringing the athletic year to a glory-winning end. In February the class sponsored a dance called HClub of Heartsf' which was held at the Elks Auditorium. This was a success, both socially and financially. Then in May, the class held its annual Junior Prom which also, though it took many hours of enjoyable planning, was a gay and gracious social event of the year. To help raise money, many dances were held after basketball and football games at which Hpopn and hotdogs fthe indispensablesj were sold. The class contributions to the school campaigns during the year were organized under the capable leadership of the class president, Floyd Kwiatkowski, and here the juniors always acquited themselves with credit. All told, this year has been eventful with an abundance of hard work and pleasant memories. So, we say good-bye until next year when we shall be Lathe seniors. MILDRED BUTLIEN , 129-

THE SOPHOMORES CLASS OFFICERS Front Row, L to R-.I. Mullen, Student Councilg E. Knauf, Presidentg J. Vin- cent, Vice President: L. Wiggins, Secre- tary. Second Row-E. Lynn, Student Councilg A. Donnelly, Treasurer. HE BEST CLASS ever to graduate from 0. F. A.fyes, thatls the goal the class of '49 set for itself at the beginning of the year. They realized that the surest and only way this goal could be achieved was by hard, relentless work. But they also realized that by doing this work, the sophomores would not only become the best graduating class, but also the most promising citizens of the future. After a slightly harrowing freshman year, the sophomores came through like the good soldiers they are. Some classes might be broken after the terrible ordeal which is Freshman Initiation, but not the hardy class of '49-they came out just as fresh as ever. Besides enjoying the fun and excitement of the event, they learned a useful lesson in good sportsmanship. In this second year of high school life our class settled down to a great number of subjects, rang- ing from mechanical drawing and art to Latin and biology. The people who took Latin II soon came' to the conclusion that Caesar was a big time operator and those who enrolled in biology classes be- came extremely bacteria conscious. ln English we became acquainted with the knights of old straight out of the pages of Tennyson's, nldylls of the Kingf, Those sophomores who started taking algebra or Latin I this year found themselves facing the exact problems others of us faced last year. M f b d . . .l. ,, any o our mem ers showe their athletic ab1 lty by -l01I11I1g the LOU Club or by going out for football, basketball, and baseball. Through these athletic games they not only gained physical well- being but learned the value of cooperation. They came to realize what an asset such a trait could be in their future doings. Some members of our class showed their school spirit by joining the Journalism Club, while others expressed their loyalty by becoming cheerleaders. These were always faithful in cheering our fighting teams onward. As time goes on, it is our hope that our class will grow better and better. Wie are confident that with so many earnest students concentrated in one class, we cannot help but merit the title we have chosen for it. 'I
