SOPHOMORE BATTALION On September 8, 1942, the Sophomores first entered the clammering halls of Tech and after a hard, disappointing day of closed classes and many hours of wandering through halls, they went home tired and weary. Many weeks and months have rolled by and the Sophs now have grown to be regular Techites. Soon after Christmas, the Sophomores had their first class meeting. The ballots were collected and the results were found to have elected Edwin West, president; Katherine Ott, vice-president; Gloria Frazer, secretary; Wanda Kurth, treasurer; Sidney Isdale, sergeant-at-arms, and Constance Callis, parliamentarian. Mrs. Alleen Scott, the sponsor of the class, took over the first meeting, introduced the president and got the class business started. During the meeting Edwin appointed a committee of five to care for the annual event held by each Sophomore Class. They were Katherine Ott, chairman; Corinne McCoy, Homer Jackson, Betty Karcher and Leo Romano. The picnic was held at Woodlawn Park on April ?0 where dancing in the recreation hall, tennis, basketball and all kinds of games formed the entertainment. At the second meeting on April 21, Edwin named a recreation committee of Joe Martinez, George Hill, Norman Summers and Homer Jackson and a dance committee of Margaret Thomas, chairman; Lorraine File, Annie Madrid and Gilda Rizzo. Now that the year is over and the Sophs have learned their way around Tech, they are looking forward to becoming “smart Juniors. Page 24
