They were young, but they were many, and they soon had taken their places among the student body. At the first class meeting, officers were elected to lead them dur- ing their first year of high school life. The officers were as follows: president, Tom Myers: vice- president, Norval Reeceg secretary, john Aikeng Treasurer, joe Case. Mr. Lowell Cox was named sponsor of this group. At the beginning of the year, they proved their musical ability by contributing worth- while talents to both band and chorus. Three of their members-Eileen McNelly, Phyllis and janet Murphy-were chosen drum majorettes. This class has been especially outstanding in the field of athletics. It not only had many players on the second team, but it also had a very capable freshman team, which won the Freshmen Mid-State Conference tourney lw tlcfeating Speedway, Mooresville, and Decatur Central. Two of the freshman girls, jean May and Barbara Trent, were elected cheer leaders for the high school team. Considering the progress of the group during their hrst year, a successful high school ca- reer is predicted for the class of 1952. 22

S0jDk0l7ZOI'6 i6l55 The sophomore class of Plainfield High School is proud of its small but industrious class of thirty-two members. At the beginning of the school year, we elected the following class officers: president, john Martin: vice-president, Barbara jenkinsg secretary, Tom Hilligossg and treasurer, Conrad Stephens. Our motto, Find a path or make one, is typical of our attitude, as an observer can plain' ly see that our paths through Plainheld High School are already well charted. Our Colors, green and white, symbols of freshness and vitality, portray the character of almost all of our classmates. This class has representatives in all but three of the extracurricular organizations of the school. The Art Club, Sunshine Society, Hobby Club, Dramatic Club, Future Farmers, Future Homemakers, 4-H, Student Council, band, chorus, and the newly-formed orchestra all have sophomores as active members. Our pantomimes, Rosie O'Crady's Fate and The Lamp Went Out, which were pre- sented as convocation programs. were entertaining to the student bodyg and their presentation displayed the initiative and the ability of the class. Under the leadership of our sponsor, Miss Dubois, we have completed our projects-sell- ing pennants and basketball pins-and have added a substantial sum to our treasury. Our two years at Plainfield High School have been pleasant and worthwhileg consequent- ly we are looking forward to the next two with eager anticipation. 21
