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.

THE EXCALIBUR Q7 olalwmore Cfadri .Mafory In the fall of 1939, our Freshman class trouped down the halls of Van Wert High, amazing the upper classes with our superior number. Unknowing as we were to the methods of the school, we wandered about hopelessly for several days. To the amusement of the older pupils, we lived up to our reputation as Green Freshmen by poking our inquisitive noses into the wrong classes at wrong periods. Our class finally began to take form, however, when we elected our class officers. After a vigorous campaign Charles Zinsmaster became our president, Elizabeth Imler, our vice president, Bernard Haines, our secretary, and Jean Corathers, our treasurer. Headed by this fine group, we began to make progess in acting more grown-up and poised. Many of our boys went out for sports during the year. On the football squad were Don Sells, John Stuckey, Jim Stoops, Chester Hunter. Lee Dicken, Jack Shoemaker, Bill Collins, Bill Tousey, Allen Spring, Art Green, Charles Zinsmaster, Howard Cobb, Dan Morris, and Jack Weigle. Don Sells earned his letter, thus becoming the only Fresh- man member of the V club.
