THE EXCALIBUR Q5 Several girls won G. A. A. awards and one, Joan Putman, got the highest award Ll girl can get in G. A. A. A number of girls also participated in badminton, soccer, speedball, volleyball, and softball. Many sophomores of the Class of '42 were in the Band, Orchestra, and Dance Band. American Legion Essay awards were won again by Constance Soldner and Jim Lamy. It was with regret that we left a good year behind but we looked forward to a better year as Juniors and as upperclassmen. XVhen we the Class of '42 came back to school last year we had high hopes of better- ing our record. Now we have seen the fulfillment of most of these hopes. Early in the fall we chose John Coon as class president, vice-president Bob Mosier, secretary Joan Putman and for treasurer Bones Bailey. Student Council representatives elected were John Coon, Marilyn Hunstead, Dot Coupland, Frank Corathers, Forest Brittsan, Jim Monroe, and Betty Yocum.
