The Sophomores This year was a great year for the Sophomores—a highlight in their high school career. Under the influence of the executive staff with Harriet Smith as president; Bill McCrone, vice president; Dorothy Rapose, secretary; and Grace Hall, treasurer, they held a decorative Thanksgiving party in November and were joint hosts with the Freshmen at an April Fool’s party given on April 2. To add money to their treasury they sponsored bake sales and collected sales stamps. The Freshmen The proverbial greenhorns did not live up to their name at all this year. Instead they took a lead in school activities by having the honor of placing a member on the basketball team, holding the Pilot Light banner for the entire first semester and playing hosts at a grand party the latter part of April. Officers elected were president, Barbara Kaiser; vice president, Bill Bennett; secretary, Ruth Akerley; and treasurer, Gertrude Shumake. 22

Vaughn Herbel and Philip Puffer were absent. Champs . . . Rowe’s basketball team of 1910-41 added another gleaming trophy to the shelf by clinching their third straight Ashtabula County Championship. The Viking quintet set another fine record by winning 11 out of 12 leage games and four out of four non-league frays, breaking even in the annual tournament with one victory and one loss—a total of 16 victories out of 18 games. With a style all their own they trounced their first four opponents by overwhelming scores, the victims being Dorset, West Springfield, Austinburg, and Pierpont, respectively. Then, as league play toughened, every team seemed to be out to stop Rowe, and the Vikings were pushed hard for the remainder of the season. The Edgewood battle was the first thriller, and the Viking five edged that quintet by two points. From then on it was nip and tuck all the way, Rowe’s team winning all the games, usually by close margins, until they met Andover on the latter’s floor. The Andover quint handed the Vikings their first loss of the season, but the defeat seemed only to put more fight into our lads and afterwards they battled with grim determination to capture the title. Rowe finally wound up the season by again crushing Pierpont to take the coveted championship. Bad luck hounded the Vikings in the tournament at Edgewood and after having crushed Pierpont in the second round of the tournament, they were eliminated by the lads from the county seat, Jefferson, in the third round. Boh Childs was high scorer of the season with 193 points out of
