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.

The FRESHMEN FRESHMAN OFFICERS Front Bow, L to B-W. Haeling, Treas.: B. Knox, V. Pres.: T. Hartman, Pres., P. Panetti, Sec., C. lnscho, St. Council. Second Row-T. Dennison, Si. Council, Mr. Grimes, Adviser. HE class of l952 came under the Big Top of the O. F. A. circus as the smallest and youngest performers in the sawdust ring. There were not enough monkeys in the local jungles, so some were imported from far and near. They came to answer the call of the Ring Master from Little Meadows, Apala- chin, Campville, Flemingville, and Tioga Center. Immediately they were involved in all the fascinating activities of life under the Big Top. The ones who rode on the band- wagon this year were: President Tom Hart- man, the ringleader: Vice President Charles Knox, the clown: Pat Panetti, the tumblerg and Warren l-laeling, the dwarf: Student Council members Caroline lnscho and Tim Dennison. The driver who cracked the whip was Mr. Grimes. The cute little dogs of our circus joined the O Club. Three midgets played on the first string Iunior Varsity basketball team this year. They were George Bowen, who broke a scoring record, Ernest Hanbury, and Bud Knox. On the second string was Charles Cornett. Ioe Carey, assistant manager of the squad, was water boy for small animal athletes. The midgets were not the only star performers as Bill Mahar played on the Var- sity. Ring l5's favorite canary, Nancy Shults, sang a solo for the Christmas Program. Three young ponies made quite an impression in the annual three-ring Talent Show. Take a bow, Caroline lnscho, Bill Mahar, and Rich- ard Babcock. When it came to the tumbling act Richard Gartland was right there on the first string of the Varsity football team. ln conclusion it can be said all the small creatures felt like tight rope walkers trying to stay on the line as they came near the end of the show season and thought of what they would have to do before they had earned a vacation.
