so PHOMORES Our class as a whole hasn't done anything to set the world on fire yet! We have, with a few exceptions, come admirably out of that “green stage and are just awaiting our chance. We have formed a fine club from our English class and call ourselves the “Progressive Sophomore Club. Those who do not enjoy nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, etc., did enjoy our English class on the third Friday in every month; for then our class had a change. (You should have seen our dignified president calling the meeting to order!) Travel talks, movie reviews, hobby talks, the relating of exciting experiences and other things all helped to make our program highly entertaining. Our first party was a skating party at the Greenville Skating Rink. A good time was enjoyed by all—especially our adviser, who took his first lesson on the “art of skating, and has not cared yet for a second! Our second party was a combined dinner and theater party. After eating the “carried-in“ dinner, everyone took himself to the Miami Theater to witness “Banjo on My Knee. In the field of athletics our class shines very dimly. Of course we do have a few star (to be) basketball players, who did manage to win a few honors from the inter-class games. We cannot overlook the girls kick-ball team either. They shine brightly when playing freshmen, but oh, those eighth graders!! We also feel largely responsible for the band. Without “we sophomores there would practically be no band. Many of us had the opportunity of going to Winchester to see the Indiana University Band. Then of course all we band members went to Westfield, which is one experience we shall never forget.

FRESHMEN The class of 1940. the present freshmen who will soon he safe in the sophomore class, has the distinction of being comprised of the last midyear class to go through the Union City, Indiana, Public Schools and the first full semester class not to be followed by a mi-'-year one. 1 his class has long been deemed—ever since kindergarten -one of the most active and possessing the most initiative of any group of students ever in the school system. Their great abundance of pep, vim, vigor, and vitality has often annoyed their teachers and made them wish for a quieter class, but nevertheless the freshmen still remain disturbing and contribute greatly to the school life. Through out this past school year they have shown this by serving on committies for our various social hours; others have important positions on the “Westerner and other publications of the school. No less than fifteen freshmen are members of the band or orchestra and a small group is in glee club. Several are on one or another of the bowling teams. The girls in the gym classes took part in an Indian-Kick-Ball tournament whereas some of the boys played in the intra-mural basketball tournament. Three of the class members were on the B-sub-basketball squad last season. But even with this wide scope of outside activities the freshmen do not forget to acquire some book learnin . Among the courses of study pursued by them are the following subjects: Algebra, General Mathematics, English. Latin, Physicale Cography, Guidance, Industrial Arts and Home economics. These jolly freshmen, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors of tomorrow and the next day, will some time look back on this first year in high school and remember it as one of the happiest of their life.
