p 1 V — The Sophomores advanced from the rank of the green- horn Freshmen to that of punishers of the green Freshmen of this year. As school opened some of the faces known to the class last year were missing, while new faces greeted the class to join the group in the journey toward a high school education. One of the high lights of the entire school year was supplied by the class as they initiated the Freshmen and seven new teachers. Strict rules and regulations were en- forced during the initiation week. Outstanding was the closing ensemble enforced upon the teachers. To offset the deficiency of school parties the class had three parties of their own. One in the fall, one in the spring and one in mid-winter. The class elected Edward Bill as president, Norma Jean Stark, vice-president and Dolly Kimble, treasurer. Miss Groves and Mr. Clower were advisors when school opened. In November Miss Hammer and Miss Groves exchanged home rooms.

Secretary and Treasurer Virginia Berg. They contributed much entertainment to our school. On December 9. 1948. they presented their play “Here Comes Charlie , which brought much enjoyment to everyone. On the evening of May 19th. in honor of the Seniors, the class held its annual Junior-Senior Ban- quet and Prom in a lovely garden of Moonlight and Roses with an orchestra in the background.

They dramatized “'Twas the Night Before Christmas for the assembly program before the holidays. The Civics class was fortunate in getting to visit the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind at Romney where they observed classes in session, shops and living quarters at the students. 1
