Sophomores Prepared For Future Success As sophomores, we entered Senior High with mixed feelings of things to come. Once again we found ourselves underclassmen amid new surroundings. We soon found Senior High life exciting, busy, and educational. The Homecoming activities initiated us. We worked hard planning and building our float, and were rewarded with a prize for originality. Voting for Homecoming king and queen and attending the dance topped off an exciting week. Extra activities and special organizations play an important part in high school life, and we are proud to say that our class was very well repre- sented. Many people received special recogni- tion. Our boys played a big part in many athletic victories this year, especially in basketball and golf. Three B-squad cheerleaders represented our class. With our own choir and band, plus membership in concert band, we made a good start in developing our talents in music for the coming years. The highlight of our year was the part we played in the Prom as waiters and waitresses. Even though we couldn’t join in the fun and ex- citement of Prom night, we’re looking forward to next year when we will be its sponsor. Mean- while we have already started making plans for raising money for next year’s Prom. It’s been a good year, a year of new experi- ences and beginnings. We hope that we have started making our mark in the history of ST. J.H.S. This Rube Goldberg type gadget attracted much attention at the school fair. It was made by Soph- omore President Bob Miest.
