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.

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

These are the little fry. For the second year the Eighth Grade has graced the walls of Morgan. Far from daunted by the towering upperclassmen they played gamely at the same activi- ties as their superiors. Their determined will was always there, even if their power was lacking. Their class officers were a sturdy crew and had the natural knack of leadership, they were: President-Frank Dibella, Vice- President-Richard Sternberg, Secretary-Maureen Benedetto, Treasurer-Wendell Moore. They fought in the Magazine Campaign and came outfwell -last, however, they made fine hosts and hostesses at a most entertaining party. They were fiends for the social side of high school life, giving dances, participating in other classes' dances and in the Choral Club where they helped boost our ranks measureably. Their schedule was upset at various times during the year by the advent of new teachers at different times. Like the chamel- eon, however, they quickly adapted themselves and continued in the manner of diligent little scholars. They are young, but in earnestness and loyalty they are tops. They are certainly a credit to Morgan-and may they be throughout their five years. ,xs- Sw V- V ,,4' - -xx J,- ,. ,, , J 24
