sophomores Now, with sad hearts, we leave the dress- pattern-covered walls of Room 111. A tear falls from our eye when we think back on the happy hours we spent amidst the sewing machines and cook books. With us go honors which must be kept up by the tenants who follow us. 111, first, last, and always. First in 100 per cent activity ticket sales, last in paper drive, and always U1 100 per cent War Bond sales. Even our float came through with fourth place. Ah, fond memories!! As we leave, we salute our officers, Qofficers- is that what you call them?j The good old Eight Ball Club seemed to run the election here. just listen to these gruesome names: Preridenz ...... r...,..

The Big Boss turned out to be Marjorie jean Anderson. The assistant to the boss, or vice president, is joan Piper, The one who uses up all her elbow grease, or secretary, is Mary Elizabeth Betsy Seibel. The Banker frobber is a better wordfj is Norma Boyland. The first great event in the history of our home room was the building of a float for the Homecoming parade. fOf course, we can't all win prizes-we didn't, either.j Next the little man waving a suitcase full of magazines in our faces came to P. T. H. S. Of course you know what that meant-magazine sales. There were several prizes given. fOf course we can't all win prizes-we didn't either., The daily activities of our home room are very interesting UQ We are supposed to study very diligently and quietly-by ourselves. But you know how it is-Mrs. Combs knows, too! She continually tells us to be quiet. No doubt she thinks that if she stopped, the building would col- lapse. Incidentally, we like to talk! Every Tuesday and Thursday we miss a vital member of our class fPete Doylej-boy's chorus you know. On Wednesday of each Week, our great orchester leader UQ, Roger Clark, comes in to try to sell War Bonds and Stamps. We didn't buy so well at first, but after a little pep talk- Believe it or Not -we climbed up to the one hundred per cent mark. By the way, we were one of the first of the sophomore home rooms to reach it. We hope you have acquired a favorable im- pression of our home room. Has quite a record, hasn't it? -ELEANORE POPPIENS -SJOANNE CONLEY page lwefzly-raven

sophomores The dignified QP, officers of 117 were elect- ed by the home room at the first of the year. Wayne Pillen was elected presidentg Bob Ride- out, vice president, Max Bader, secretary, and George Eggers collected our pennies whenever it was necessary fand when he could get thenmj We were very proud to think that Marion Perkins, our home room beauty, was selected by the students of our class to represent the sopho- mores in competition for queen of the Harvest Ball. Mr. Gossett collected plenty of corn UQ. One night after eating that delicious popcorn, we got our heads together and figured out what we were to have for our homecoming float. It turned out that we didn't get them together well enough, for it was just another float as far as the judges were concerned. It was a broken down rocket on blue and white crepe paper, the colors of Princeton. This was placed on a wagon pulled by two of our husky Q?j boys. Carroll Kruger straddled the rocket to show the power of Prince- ton's team. We didn't get a prize, though we really 117 should have-not that we're prejudiced! The sophomore class all met in the cafeteria for a Christmas party. For entertainment there was dancing and a grab bag. 117 was in charge of the grab bag. After many pep talks-fand we do mean manyj we brought in 585 pounds of paper for the Home Ec. paper drive. jean Booth was high with 268 pounds, and jim Fleming ran a close- second. War stamps were purchased by everyone at one time or another, but it seemed almost im- possible for us to get together all at the same time and buy stamps to make the home room 100 per cent. However, we were successful and became 100 per cent at last! To top our glory no one was seated in the workshop-which punishment Mr. Gossett threat- ened if we didn't keep quiet, And in spite of pre- vious mishaps, we think it's a pretty swell home room. - -HIELIEN Gn.'i'Niaa Back Row-Carroll Carlon, Wayne Pillen, Max Bader, Robert Rideout, james Fleming.
