Sophomore Class History In September of 1944 eleven students entered Room Five in S. J. H. with spirits soaring and hopes high. We eleven were initiated into life at S. J. H. rather lightly. Almost immedi- ately we plunged into Latin, algebra, biology, and English and after nine months of dili- gent study we emerged victoriously. To our extreme satisfaction all was not solid study for it is true that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Social functions were warmly welcomed especially the Junior-Senior Banquet. Besides the parties we enjoyed our edu- cational tour to Chicago and the annual picnic. Having successfully conquered our freshman studies, we anticipated the conquest of our sophomore courses. This year we enjoyed watching new freshmen get initiated. Again we plunged into the drudgery of learning—this time, Latin, geometry, history, English, and last but not least, chemistry. We enjoyed a few pauses for social functions and the all important Junior-Senior Banquet. Our second trip to Chicago and our second picnic could not be passed by because they were such fun. Having completed nine more months of school, we again came out on top. We, the sophomore class, are both happy and sad that it's over. We are l ooking forward to our two remaining years and we hope that we shall glide through as happily and successfully as we did our first two. James Bonkoski Freshman Class History On September 4, 1945 eight courageous girls and five gallant boys with trembling hands and knocking knees, slowly but surely entered Room Five to begin their high school career. A solid wall of Latin, algebra, English, and health confronted them, but by using battering rams of intelligence, sincerity, and obedience these gallant youths have torn down the wall and conquered the enemies of laziness and stupidity. The freshmen really enjoyed their first year in high school. In fact, they have had the time of their lives. The freshmen intend to continue with their excellent work thorugh the forthcoming years and strive for the betterment of their class. John E. Virden 21

The Senior Class Play “The Sunshine Twins’ was a real success. The clever acting. and witty lines brought about laughter and hearty applause from the audience. The students gave a splendid performance and deserve much credit for their unusual acting ability. Mrs. Robinson was portrayed by Phyllis Mezydlo. Mrs. Robinson is an affectionate mother who is very indulgent with all of her family’s shortcomings. Mr. Robinson, the father, an intelligent and capable man, whose quick irritability hides a warm lovable nature was excellently performed by Norbert Muzzillo. Robert Brady played an outstanding part as Glen Robinson, the good looking son who is very sure of his philosophy. Norma Robinson is a girl of high ideals; she knows the Robinson trait of adhering to an idea once it has appealed to her. This part was played well by Dorothy Ann Hoeffel. Bebe Prather, the oldest of the children, is newly married. Because of her selfish point of view she is constantly running home from her indulgent, adorable husband. Mae Bell Myers carried the part well. Connie Robinson is the female portion of the twins. A sunny disposition harbors quali- ties of leadership to which her twin never fails to respond. No situation is beyond her ability to cope with it. The part was well enacted by Mary Young. “Gabby” Robinson, the male portion of the twins, was excellently portrayed by Wil- liam Young. “Gabby” is a good natured lad with an easy going tendency to follow his sister wherever she leads. Vail Porter, a handsome, friendly Man associated with wealth was well acted by Ray- mond Gingery. Ruth Wilson very nicely portrayed Mrs. Ellis, a refined dainty woman in her fifties. She is a keen business woman and of sweet character. Leo Prather is the fine looking husband of Bebe. He is a gentle soul and always will- ing to give in to the other person’s demand. This part was played very well by William Steigmeyer. Miss Doyle was enacted by Donna Jean Delagrange. Miss Doyle looked out for the welfare of Norma and tried to get her to become an actress. Remember When The school paper was always printed and delivered at the right time? Sister Anastasia had to practice patience during our study periods? There was a certain mob psychologist in Room Six? The students helped the plaster in Room Five to fall much faster? One of the Busy Bee Club meetings in the year ‘45 started off with a big bang? The sun was shining and it was warm on the thirteenth of September? That’s when we had our picnic. The boys cleaned and scraped the campus of S. J. H. so we could play basketball without having the basketball deflected while dribbling on loose sand and stones? The sophomores served home-made ice cream during chemistry class? Boy, was it good! Folk songs and dances were introduced into the high school? The Sisters were kept awake one night? The sophomore boys were in the church basement trying to extricate unruly taffy from pans. Perhaps they used a little force??? Raymond Gingery 23
