For the Sophomores, class activities began early this fall. The following were elected officers of the group: PresidentfJune Alexander, Vice-PresidentARobert Wagner, Secretary-Naomi Haag, and TreasurerfHarry Leckey. Student Council representa- tives were Patricia Williams and William Ward. The class which won the Magazine Campaign last year didn't do so well. This year they ended in third place, out ofthe money. The grand event for the class was the choosing of a class ring. They chose a fine, well constructed ring-gold, with an onyx center and the Morgan seal embossed in the middle in gold. Their class advisor, a new teacher, Mrs. Ashley, did much to help the class along the difficult road toward being upper- classmen. A Square Dance in February, which was a financial as well as social success, helped to boost their already sizable treasury. This helped to offset the loss of fifty dollars which they generously donated for the flag pole to go in front of the new school. The class has been very active in school activities with an unusual number turning out for every sport and extra-curricular activities. They are doing well and we are sure that when, in two years, they become the mighty seniors they will be as much a credit to Clinton as any class preceeding them but that of nine- teen fifty-one. 22

Mr. Drew again led them and helped the group set a torrid pace as far as activities were con- cerned. For the first time in the history of the Magazine Campaign the juniors walked off with first prize and a very tidy sum for their treasury. It was no cinch, however, for the other four classes gave them a run for the money and when the bell sounded, it was found to be an extremely small percentage between all five classes. Also for the first time a class won the campaign for the second time. In November the class sponsored something new in the way of dancing. Because the floor in the Grammar School was polish- ed for Basketball and there was strong feeling against using the Town Hall, they put on a Sock Dance . Some seemed skeptical at first but when the night came the gym was packed and it turned out to be the most successful dance in many years. Bob Wilson and his orchestra provided music for an evening of Square Dancing that will long be remembered-not only because of the blisters! ! About the time the seniors were decorating for their Co- tillion, the Junior Prom was already in its infant stages. With much planning and fine direction the Prom was an assured suc- cess. The class chose Stardust for their theme. On this subject were produced some superb decorations. These juniors will long remember this year. We hope that they will not be so tired out by the time they become seniors that they will not be able to stay on the ball! 21

S The class of i954-now an integral part of the Morgan circle. As eighth graders they held classes in Morgan but were always iust on the luminous fringe of activities. Now they have crossed over and are very definitely on the inside and glance over their shoulders at the suffering eighth graders of this year who are staring enviously at them. Their interests are everywhere at once and in each activity they do their utmost to be good participants. They're handy little people to have around. Nothing is too large nor too menial for a frosh to tackle with fervor. He is willing to help and as a result he is a welcome member in any of the clubs. Their leaders this year are well qualifield for the tasks they have to perform. They are as follows: President-Theodore Neely, Vice-President-Donald Wilcox, Secretary-Nancy Woodstock, and Treasurer-Thomas Palmer. This year they are low men on the totem-pole, but with the examples already established for them they are sure to reach the top in fine shape and with much acclaim from all-they cer- tainly deserve a lot of credit. 23 gen ,412 T S S.
