The JUNIURS JUNIOR OFFICERS Front Row, L to R-l. Wright, St, Council Repg B. Gunsett, Sec.: l. Elam, Pres., T. Harned, Treas.: M. Butlien, St. Council Rep. Second Row-Mr. Deeb, Adviserp R. Haskell, V. Presg G. lennings, St. Council Rep, HE Class of '5O's Five Ring Circus. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up, ladies and gen- tlemeng the show in the Big Top is about to begin. lf you'll focus your attention upon the center ring, you Will see the three stars of our show. Not all leaders have the unques- tioning support our ring master, lames Elam, has. Bell Gunset, secretary, and Thelma Harned, treasurer, have also Worked untir- ingly to fulfill their responsibilities. Others in this circle who have Worked equally as hard include: Robert Haskell, Sydney Chaf- fee, Gene Iennings, Margaret Butlien and our competent and essential Lion Tamer, Mr. Samuel Deeb. ln the ring to my right are five athletic stars. ln both basketball and football we find Ralph Bennett leading the Iuniors. The four other outstanding players are: Iames Wolfe, Duane Van De Mark, lames Elam, and Richard Franz. There are. of course. several more Who have brought added honor to the class of '5O. ln the left center ring we see a contented Prom Committee. Reports show that this was the best prom ever held. The band was out of this World, and the setting definitely had the desired psychological effect. ln the outer right ring a group of ex- committee members are re-living their suc- cessful attempts to establish the Class of '50 as an active organization. The dances sponsored by the luniors have been both social successes and financial assets. An- other project similar in effect was the con- cession at several home football and basket- ball games. Many a thirsty and dog hun- gry fan patronized the familiar stand. In our last ring we find a committee ready to tell another success story of the class of '5U. The treasurer has surmised that, even after the deduction of prom expenses, the Big Show of '5U will start its last year in good financial condition.

The SUPHUMURES SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Front Row, L to R-K. Coleman, St. Council: B. Merrick, Treas., S. Knauf, Pres., B. Han- son, Sec.: l. Morse, V. Pres. Second Row-Mr. Tamburrino, Adviser, G. Hills, St. Council. HE Sophomore Class is traditional in that it is very well-satisfied with itself. The class has contributed to the school successes in football, baseball, and basket- ball. The Sophomore girls hold their own on cheering the teams to victory, and the O Club has a few Sophomore members. Many of the girls, as well as boys, are active athletes. Both boys and girls participated in the musical activities -- band, orchestra, and choir. In Ianuary, a number of Sophomores entered short stories, poems, and essays in the annual Scholastic Contest. Shirley Knauf is our class president and Garry Hills and Kathleen Coleman are our Student Council representatives. Mr. Tam- burrino is our class adviser. Our school Work this year has been varied and interesting. Good marks do not come easily to most of us, but we are learn- ing to work, and that is half the battle. lf you walked by C. Lab. at the beginning of the year, you were probably greeted with strange smells and noises. This was because of the inexperienced biologists trying to solve Mr. Reed's experiments. Mr. Morey's geometry class has learned that a straight line is the shortest distance between two poles. Perhaps it is this fact that has made it so impossible for our jan- itors to keep up the wires which protect the lawn from trespassers. In Latin two, Caesar still fights the Gallic Wars, and if we aren't as engrossed as we ought to be in his victories, it is certainly no fault of Mrs. Nichols. English two, and our oral book reports mark another milestone in our literary educa- tion. It is hard work to keep our knees from giving way when we face our classmates, but now that the year is nearly over, We can see that we have gained confidence in our- selves. The class of '51 hopes to bring credit to O.l:'.A., so wish us luck, Seniors, for we are doing our best to grow up and follow in your footsteps.
