In contrast to former years, the initiation was greatly restricted and practically the only time we sophomores were molested by the seniors was during the official initiation week held early in October. Each day of the week various punishments were inflicted. Among these were the carrying of umbrellas and string and the wearing of kerchiefs and dark glasses. The climax of the week came on Saturday night, October 7, when We sophomores, clad in old clothes and dabbed with paint, were summoned to 28

The juniors served their Alma Mater with ten members on the football team. Promising players who have had experience on the varsity squad include Leewin Baker, james Redington, Harry Kelsey, and Raymond Larson. Sleepy Redington is captain- elect of next year's team. The juniors also had two members on the varsity basketball team and several members on the junior varsity. Our peppy cheerleaders, Joanna Shields and Katherine Thrash, were a great help to the cheering section as the students rooted for Old Port High. The junior girls were very active in sports and offered dangerous competition to their opponents in both hockey and basketball. Noticeable among the junior hockey victories was the 4-2 defeat of the senior girls. Exciting among the basketball games was that with the Emporium junior girls, which resulted in the visiting team's 12-7 victory. Donald Kanally, familiarly known as Dek,,' who served his second term as class president, proved himself a very capable officer. His well-delivered announce- ments added much to the junior chapel programs. In the pay-dues contest which was organized, his ability of leadership was made apparent by the favorable results. Not only were the dues paid more quickly, but friendly class spirit was noticeable in the party which the losing team gave the winners. The most gala event of the year was the junior Prom, which was held in the high school gym, April 26. The gym was gaily decorated for the festive occasion, and during intermission, a novel floor show was presented under the direction of Phyllis Lyons. 27

Following these horrors,', we were entertained at a dance given by our torturers -the seniors. Although our class was organized rather late in the fall, we elected officers who proved capable leaders in all our activities during the year. The annual Sophomore Hop, held on March 29 in honor of the class of ,4O, proved a great success. The dance music was furnished by Carl Wisniewski and his orchestra. Herbert Anderson, president of the class, acted as general chairman of the affair. The chairmen of the various committees were as follows: decorations, John Gallup, entertainment, Betty Reynolds, advertisement, Ward Hardesg refreshments, Mary Jean Licastrog and clean-up, Clarence Tulley. As a class we have been interested in all activities of the school, Seven boys were out for football with Glenn Johnston and Kip Engblom making a name for them- selves. Six sophomores played basketball. Outstanding among these players were Clarence Tulley and Glenn Johnston. The sophomore girls organized both hockey and basketball teams, which proved excellent competition in class games. Betty McMahon and Lois Hanna, res- pectively, were captains of these teams. This year the sophomores have placed eight members in the band, six in the orchestra, and thirteen in the Glee Club. We hope to continue these activities in our next years of high school and make these years ahead of us even more successful than our past year. 29
