tke Studious Sopkommt On September 3, 1941, 121 students enrolled in the 10th grade of Sturgis High School. We chose for our officers Dewey Tennent, President; Arthur Keeg, Vice-President; Robert Kline, Treasurer; Pat Lewis, Secretary; Beverly Wheeler and David Jacobs for our Representatives to the Student Council. This year, as before, most students took part in some of the many different school activities, some of them being: the various sports, in which Joe Bogart and several others are really making a name for themselves; several clubs, the G.A.A., the Girl Reserves, the ili-Y, the Latin Club and a few others; several sophs also had parts in the operetta, Tlivra Davis having one of the leading parts. March 27, 1942 was the night of the biggest event of our year, the Sophomore Prom. The Victory theme was carried out in the programs and decorations. Something new, “Blackout Dancing” was tried and was well received by the many couples who enjoyed an evening of dancing to the music of Ted Makyes’ orchestra for “The Blackout Bump.” The lights were turned out and then from the balcony flashes of light, followed by the explosion of bombs created a novel effect. The committee chairmen who helped to make the dance a big success were: Dewey Tennent, General Chairman; Phin Wheat, tickets and programs; Jerry Vogt, decorations; Jack Teeters, music; Lorraine Keeslar, advertising; Marilyn Dresser, Refreshments. We all think that everyone of them did a swell job. So far we have had two very happy and successful years in Sturgis High School and we are all looking forward to two more equally successful happy ones with our very kind sponsors, Miss Hazel Core, Miss Betty Ann Johnson, Miss Alta Stauffer, Mr. Eugene Powell, and Mr. Gordon Schilz to whom we are very grateful.
