Realizing their newly acquired responsibilities and duties and delighting in their ad- vanced positions, the sophomore class turned their attention from freshman diversions and set grimly to work to carve a record for themselves in 1940. This class is composed of one hundred and fifty members and though unorganized, has contributed much to the school ' s scholastic, athletic, and musical records. From their ranks JoAnn Whipple, Francis Bryant, and Cornelia Powell have emerged with superior grades. Bob Gray, already on the varsity basketball squad, is regarded as the future star of that sport. Frank Bogan who was outstanding as the band ' s drum major is to be congratulated for a job well done. To these and to the others who are not as outstanding but just as important, goes the privilege and the added responsibility of being upperclassmen. 27
