CLA!! HISTORY Gfirl shy, our Freshmen boys??? not by a long shot. Well, maybe a little at our first' party when the girls, and what martyrs they were, all but dragged us out on the dance floor only to have their delicate toes flattened 'out as the result of their labors. We thought we were hopeless cases but the second party we showed considerable progress. Oiur f'irst opportunity to exhibit our acting ability was in the present- ation of Ask the Professor. The leading roles were played by Mel Ray, Doc Shane, William Camp and Howard Houth. This boosted our pride somewhat, since it had been trampled on by our defeat in ALL the Intra- mural Basketba.ll Games. Our two lovely Freshman aittendents, Mary Rose Turchan and Joann P6ClllZZlfg'OXVIl6!Cl in yellow and carrying red roses graced the court of our May Queen. After a. very trying year our teachers were glad to push us on as sopho- mores. After a. short pause, of three months, we resumed our high school days as Sophomores with superior air that at least demanded the respect of the Freshmen!! This was demonstrate-d by the attention our Sophomore Boys received from the Freshmen Girls ----- This time we carried on the election of our officers like Hold timers . We elected Thomas Shan-e president, Pete Kucan vice president, ,loann Peduzzi secretary, and john Louvre treasurer. Later in the May Queen election Betty Radosh and Elva Rubright were victorious. The acitvities of the youth center during the summer proba.bly had a great deal to do with the success of our Sophomore dances. Aside from the fact that most of 'us had improved a great deal on our dancing most of our boys had emerged from a selfconscious awkwandness, to polite young gentlemen ---- Ill Our star basketball players on the girl's team wereDorothy Noll, Meryle Shope, and Mary Rose Turchfm. lt was this time that the Sophomores won the respect of the whole school by winning the Girls' Iyntramural Championship. In Mr. Kelly's newly organized Golf Class ot 30 we boast a potential is members. lt is yet to be seen who will be outstanding in this newly or- ganized sport. Mary Rose Turchan, Ellva Rubright, and Betty Radosh, our Soph. Ma- jorettes, added their talents to the concert presented by the musical organ- ization ofthe scrhool. In their indivfidual act the girls did their routine with two batons. Other contribiutfions to the program We.re Mel Ray and his Saxapihone , William Camp and his Guitar, and last but not least, Carl Mikan at the piano. ln the Junior and Senior Chorus that blend of male voices was none other than our sophomore hovs'. Our representatives in the band are Dorothy Noll, Meryle Shope and Mel Ray. So, after two vears of High School knowledge, we brace ourselves and we hope our teachers are bracing themselves too, for our plunge into the Junior Class.

How we were ever to get through Latin and Algebra was beyond usffi Thanks to our helpful teachers we inanaiged-+--not saying what they suffered. Another strange event that greeted us was the election of our class of- ficers. We held our first officialC?J business meeting and elected as presi- dent Pete Kuczin, vice president Chester Szynid, secretary Dorothy Noll, and treasurer jozinn Peduzzi.
