Little did they dream that hy the end of the year they would he spending many more hours in timefroom than in their class rooms. After electing officers. joe Tewes, Presidentg Dan Vuic, Vice Presidcntg Elsie Kromer, Secretary, and john Zyhowski as Treasurer, plans were prepared for the two parties. At these the girls worked fiercely dragging the hoys onto the dance floor. We came out, as usual. on the bottom in the has' kethall tournament hut made up for it in volleyhall. We were represented by Christine Pogue and Norma Rishel in the May' Day Ceremonies. In 1943 we came hack to school as Sophomores 59 strong. Although separated and divided into three rooms we still managed to make as much if not more noise as before. Up hudded many promising young 19 wolves, two of whom were Charles Connor and Bill Palehak. Owen Gorman was appointed dictator, with -Ioe Tewes and Elsie Kromer mcekly 171 carrying out his plans as vicefdictator and secretaryftreasurer ref spectively. At our parties the situation was slightly reversed from last year with the hoys doing all the dragging. Audrey and Cccda liyened these parties with their -litterhug Exhibitions. As Sophomores. the haskethall teams ended the tournament with a smile on their faces for they had the honor of heing second only to the Seniors. Jean Dahlstrom and Elsie Kromer were chosen to grace the May Queens Court. As a class the Sophomores are leading the rest of the school in their percentage in the hond and stamp sale. This is a record we are justly proud of. Of the three Sophomore rooms, Mr. Lloyd's leads the parade in percentage.

Three-Fourths Toward the Goal Nineteenfninety find an old lady rocking in her rock' ing chair. Cn her lap is a scrapbook that brings back memories of happy days at T.I-I.S. I'Iere's a snapshot of Camilla Lovett and Doris jenkins, the Freshmen May Queen attendants. This old football pennant reminds her of the cheer' leaders, Doris jenkins and Claire I-Iillstrom, and of the majorettes, Mary Lou Harris. Camilla Lovett, and Mar' ilyn Pogue. She well remembers how lovely their May Queen attendants, Mary Lou Harris and Ivlarilyn Pogue, looked in their pink gowns. She has looked at this page many times for it tells of her junior year. She has told her grandchildren often of the enioyment she had watching the play He Wars A Gay Senoritaf' On the program are listed the officers' names: Roy Cellich, Carl Dorosa, Catherine Petrina. and -Ieanne Brown. Also listed are the candy sellers: Doris jenkins, Lois Johnson, Phyllis Green, and Rena Mahr. She laughs as she recollects the time the Junior girls wore large hair ribbons. Because the girls resembled bunnies, they were presented carrots from the boys. Many times the elderly lady has remembered how lovely our two blonde May Queen attendants, Catherine Petrina, and Lillian Lovre looked. She recalls how tired she was the night she painted the town in preparation for the Trafford vs. Pitcairn football game. Oh, yes! she was more exhausted the night she scrubbed it off. How grateful she was for the help of some of the boys. The memory of Calvin I-Iolsingefs favorite subject those Russiansi' has brought to her many a chuckle. This sweet old lady will never forget the time she took off school to go see Frank Sinatra. She sighs as she ref members how wonderful he had sung. She needs nothing to remind her of the Prom. Breakf ing tradition, her class held the Prom at the Jaektown Hotel. How heavenly it was dancing to the music of Buddy Raye's Orchestra. Suddenly the door bell rings and she is brought back to reality. Her reminiscing will have to be put off till another day. 18

R Fitzsimmons Just Started on the Road The first day of school was a confusing day for the Freshmen. The students who were supposed to he in Mr. Starks room were transferred to Miss Byers' room and vice versa. By the end of that day we were all settled. When we received only five hooks, we thought our first year of high school was going to he sim' ple, hut we found out differently when we started to read them. We like all of our suhjects, hut most of all we like algehra. It seems that the freshmen can hardly wait until they get into the algehra class. Then there is Latin class. Most of the Latin students were saying that they enjoyed Latin class so much that they would like to take three or four years of it. Of course, they were just talking ahout this, hut some of the students are serious ahout it. The Freshmen had successful parties this year. The first party did not get going until the latter part of the evening hecause some of the hoys were too shy to ask the girls to dance. At the second party the hoys were really in the groove. We owe our good times to the assistance of Miss Byers and Mr. Stark. The Freshmen Baskethall Teams, hoth hoys' and girls', put every effort into their games in order to win, hut it seemed luck was against them. Naturf ally it dampened our spirit when we lost our games feight in suecessionj, hut perhaps next season we shall come through with winning teams. We hope the Freshmen hoys who participated in the class games this season will he on the squad next year. They made an exeeellent showing in the games in which they did play and they will prohahly play even hetter next year. In the interf class sports to come, the freshmen teams will he there doing their hest. We the class of 1947 leave our hright, cheery. freshmen rooms to the future Freshmen. 20 M. Primozic, F.
