The Sophomore cl'nss of 1940 is also well represented in both sports and dramatics, as a number cf students participate in both of these extra curricular activities. SOCIAL EVENTS The Sophomore class has had one social affair. The original plan was to have a hay-ride, but only one hayrack came, so the forty odd students who attended took turns riding on the hay (mostly sandburs). A game of run-sheep-run was played before the eight-block-hayride, after which the sophomcres enjoyed a wiener roast. After the meal the fire was extinguished and the sophomores went home at the very late hour of nine thirty. Some students who didn t go home, went on another ride with Howard Durst, whose team and rack were used. Mr. Hatcher and Mr. Wenaorff, who attended the hayride seemed to enjoy It, as much as students who attended. ACTIVITIES There are eleven sophomores in Mixed Chorus, twelve in Girls Glee Club, and seven AMBITION in Boys Glee Club. The Sophomore class has worked success-The Junior G.R. Cabinet is composed of fully and untiringly and looks forward to four sophomore girls, Laura Blough, Dora many pleasant times before graduation in 1942 Clineburg, Joan Aitkin, and Ila Laue. —Dora Cllneburg io
