SOPHOMORES We, the class of ’43, forty-five students strong, have progressed from the ranks of “green Freshmen” to “silly Sophomores,” which we have attempted to live down. Although everyone took the required courses of English and health education, we were divided in opinion about Latin, biology, general business, and history. High school art proved interesting to a few of the students; and most of the class spent two periods of each week in physical education, playing such games as: Indian kickball, basketball, volleyball, ring tennis, ping-pong, and various other games. We were largely represented in G. A. A. with ten of our twenty-five girls participating in the weekly games and the Indian kickball tournament, in which we passed the preliminaries only to be defeated by our long rivals—the Juniors. We are proud of our boys who played as Kittens, and now are waiting for the time when they may “step into the shoes” of the present Wildcats. Our more talented music students did their share in the band and orchestra, while our thoughts and suggestions were presented to the Student Council by Lola Hendricks, Smith Haber, and Leon Teegarden. Under the supervision of Miss Nielson, we ran a column in the Times-Gazette entitled “West Side News,” with most of the members of the class assigned as reporters to the numerous subjects. Looking hopefully towards the future when we shall be recognized as upper class-men, we expect to make a place for ourselves in the history of Union City High School. —Joan Welbourn TOP ROW—William Ely, John Murphy.

C. H. S., which was bound for the port of success and pleasure. To steer our ship through this voyage we chose Robert McRose, president; Robert Harrison, vice president; Margaret Haber, secretary; Lucien Brooks, treasurer. If we veered on the wrong course, we were steered back in the right channel by our superior officers, Nell Rubey and Hazel Schmidt. To pay for this voyage and our Junior-Senior reception, we raised money by selling magazines, wreaths, and candy, by collecting dues, by holding a market, and by managing the checkroom. On this voyage we occupied ourselves with various subjects. In choosing electives some entered Latin, typing, industrial arts, and shorthand classes while others delved into biology, physics, and geometry. All of us enrolled in the required courses, English and history. In our leisure time we participated in many different extra-curricular activities. Twenty-three were in band, fourteen in orchestra, and sixteen in chorus. In the sports department eleven boys saw action in basketball on the first and second teams or the intramural teams. Six boys participated in baseball. Not to be outdone, eleven girls were members of the G. A. A. To help our fellow passengers know where we came from, we purchased brown sweaters, trimmed in beige and orange, with the letters—U. C. We elected Vivian Potts, Robert Maloon, Richard Weimer, and Robert Harrison as our representatives on the Student Council. Although we enjoyed this cruise very much, we are anticipating a bigger and better trip next year on the same boat—U. C. H. S. —Mary Byrum Page Twenty-four

At the first of the year there was a question as to what courses to take. After much debating some took Latin and algebra; others took general mathematics and vocational guidance; still others took a mixture of the two. Everyone took the required English, physical education, and home economics or industrial arts courses. Our class was well represented in the music department, having eight in the orchestra, ten in the band, and ten in the chorus. Two of our girls were twirlers for the marching band. We had one solo entry in the Solo and Ensemble Contest this spring. A number of boys participated in the intramural activities while the girls chose G. A. A. Bowling also attracted a few. Five of the boys played on the basketball teams, and we were proud to have two of them on the first team. Kathryn Montano and Robert Caron were elected to act for us on the Student Council. Dorothy Mason, Fairbourne Patchell, and William Dean held positions on the Westerner staff this year and did commendable work. A number of girls wrote articles for the weekly school column in the Times-Gazette. We close this year with success and are looking forward to next year when we shall be “silly” Sophomores.
