SOPHOMORE NEWS On the 7th of September eleven bright and smiling boys and girls entered the building. Their appearance showed that they were aiming to be the best sophomore class ever to enter Ranchester High School. Immediately I noticed an unfamiliar face. When introduced I learned the new girl was none other than Theresa Mortenson, from Frederic, Wisconsin. Shortly afterward I-noticed a boy who was familiar to almost everyone, Don Selig, from Casper. He later left us in December to attend Sheridan High School. When it came time to choose subjects almost every sophomore took biology taught by Mr. Peyton. The drawings and experiments help the students to leam more about plant and animal life. All the sophomores are enrolled in English U, taught by Miss Hansen. They have been studying grammar and literature. The girls took homemaking under the supervision of Mrs. Thompson. Some of the other subjects are algebra, shop, typing I and general business. A class meeting was called. The first on the list of tasks to accomplish was electing a class sponsor. By popular vote Mrs. Swanson was chosen. Class officers elected were president Nancy Masters, vice president Jack Miech, secretary Lynda Scott, treasurer Georgia Kukuchka, and student council repre- sentative Georgia Kukuchka. The red-letter date in October was the Homecoming game and dance. Each class chose a candidate for queen. Our nominee was Lynda Scott and to our de- light, she won! She was crowned queen at the half of the Ranchester—Hulett game, and was presented with a beautiful orchid. During the year the Sophomore students along with the rest of the student body attended several educational movies. They consisted of wild life, forestry, health, and other very interesting subjects. Before every game we, the students attended pep rallys held in the hall. They were led by our cheerleaders who have a fine variety of yells to add enthu- siasm to our student body. Everyone enjoyed the Mitchell Cain magician show given on February 9. It was attended by the grade school pupils, high school students, and those from the community who wished to come. Mr. Cain's acts of magic fascinated the group. Volunteers from the audience assisted him. The sophomores are all looking forward to their junior year when they will be the upper classmen.
