Sophomore Class History On September 5, 1944, a group of forty-seven students entered high school as freshmen. Under the supervision of Miss Hall, our class ad- viser, to whom we owe much for giving us the right beginning, we elected the following officers: Jim Sitton, president, Ray Little, vice-president: Jo-De Whitney, secretary, and Mary Mae Wilkinson, treasurer. We had many boys out for football, basketball, and track. The girls joined Glee Club, TU Club, and G.A.A. We had many students on the honor roll each six weeks and eleven on the semester honor roll. We had two class parties during the year, a hayride and a party in the gym. On our hayride, we went to Tate's farm. On September 4, 1945, a group of fifty-three students, an increase of six students from last year, returned to high school as sophomores. Every- thing was not new to us as it had been the year before. At our first meet- ing we elected the following officers: Pat Wise, president, Shirley Rimbey, vice-president, Ray Little, secretary 3 and Lois Ashlock, treasurer. We were pleased to have Miss Flori as our class adviser. We had many boys out for athletics. There were several boys who won letters. The girls joined G.A.A., T Club, and Glee Club. They also won first in the girls' basketball tournament. Lois Ashlock, Lila Lawson, and Patricia Day from Manchester, and Phyllis Meyer from Patterson, entered the class. This year we had two parties, one, a hayride, and the other a Hal- loween party in the gym. Ray Little. Seventeen
