Sophomore Class Officers: Bobby Jean Mitchell, Secretary, Jimmy Long, Treasurer, Mrs. Florence Stump, Class Sponsor. Sophomore Class Of 1963 Were Active Leaders Various new changes were seen in Patrick Henry's Sophomore Class. Teachers, upperclassmen, and parents saw a remarkable im- provement in their progress on the way to adulthood. Sophomores learned to study and work for bet- ter knowledge, to get along with their fellow classmates and to make new friends, to accept re- sponsibility and face up to new and difficult problems, to show pride in their school, and many began to plan for the future. College bound students were making definite plans for the years ahead by taking more advanced courses. Many took the College Board Entrance Examination in their Sophomore year as a trial run, hoping the experience would better prepare them for doing their best in their Junior and Senior years, the important ones. Every other Tuesday morning, the Sophomore Steering Commit- tee met and, with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Florence Stump, planned activities of the class. Their biggest project of the year was the Boy's Beauty Pageant, pre- sented on April 25th. June, l963, left Sophomores mid-way in their high school ca- reer, with two successful years be- hind them, looking forward to two more. Class Officers: Susan Grammar, Vice-President, Johnny Light, President, Ann Copenhaver, Executive Council Representative.

School Seasons Marked by initial enthusiasm, book-laden students carefully stepped over construction work. After a first year of coping with parking lot gravel and mud, it was a relief to have the area paved, guttered and marked for cars. Following months ot books and tests, the winter holidays were welcomed by skating stu- dents amid the dogs and ducks at nearby Lakewood Park. The balmy magic ot May days meant Madras and short sleeve shirts and almost the end of another year.
