THE TOTEM 1939 FEELIIIG LIHE VETERIIIIS By HELEN WIEHE South Side's around the first bend sophomores are nearing a promising home stretch even if their main event was horsey. Now, wait a minute, donit take me wrong. You see the theme of the Sopho- more party was the ulientucky Derby. Tlotl Tlotl Tlotl Tlotl Horse hoofs down the track. And the race was on. Odds were two to one on the achievements of this class. Prospective win- ning pupils gathered at this affair with eager hopes for a prize. Couples swayed over the track to the rythm of Robert Anweiler and his ten-piece orches- tra. Specialties of the evening consisted of the ex- ceptional entertainment by talented pupils of the class, who kept to the theme of the Derby. Cn the home stretch to the cafeteria, decorated horsey too, the winners fand all were winnersj were awarded re- freshments. Contestants in the affair galloped home on their steeds to remember always the race of ci century. Most appropriate decorations adorned the gym- nasium to make the party one of the most attractive of recent years. The judges, stand was constructed in the middle of the floor, serving as an excellent pit for the orchestra. An unusual highlight in the eve- ning's entertainment was a skit performed by the seven sets of sophomore twins, namely Lois and Jean Gumpper, Harold and Marilyn Emrick, Bob and Jim Brooks, Richard and Ralph Siebold, Don and Ed- ward Nleyer, Bill and Dick Dreyer, and Eva Jean and Bob Wylie. Approximately four hundred equestrian people attended this gala sophomore event in full rigging, one of the greatest numbers to attengl a sophomore party since its origination. The success of the Derby was due to the prize- winning leaders of the class: Bob Hines, presidentg Rebecca Abbett, vice-presidentg Sam Bacon, secre- tary-treasurer, and Betty Elberson, John Bonsib, and Robert Robinson, social council. The sponsors, who trained these winners well, were Miss Lucy Osborne and Wir. Earl E. Sterner. Dthers of the faculty who assisted the class project were Miss Blanche Hutto, decorations, and Miss Lucy Mellen, refreshments. Other activities in which Sophomores have made themselves prominent are numerous. Perhaps the most-talked-of activity is that of public speaking in which the Sophomores have had winners. The most outstanding in the group was Bob Safer, whose two outstanding wins were first place in Wranglers Ex- First Row: Rebecca Abbett, Mary Antrim, Sam Bacon, Betty Baumgartner, Kathryn Beckman, John Bonsib, Florence Browning, lVlary Branclyberry, Richard Braun, Marilyn Burns, Roger Busch, Second Row: Virginia Callison, John Cleland, Jane Cocks, Reba Coppock, Audrey Cooper, Dorothy Cooper, Nlaxine Crago, Delores Daniels, Ruth Dauner, Laura Nlae DeSelm, Dick Dosch.
