SOPHOMORE HISTORY Elated with its newly acquired rank of Sophomore, the Class of '45 wasted no time in getting down to work. Early last fall the Sophs elected their class officers: President, Sven Peterson, Vice-President, Bill Bruckmann, and Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Carmichael. First on the social calendar was the annual dance. Immediately, the Sophs threw all their effort and enthusiasm into plans for this appropriately named Harvest Hop. The big event took place on October 3Oth, and was a huge success-both socially and financially. An added attraction was the refreshments served in the cafeteria by the Parent-Teachers' Association. The Class of '45 was very well represented in sports. jack Cougan, the gridiron hero, did a grand job on the football team but had a tough break, literally, too, in the Rockaway game. joe Morley, Bill Bruckmann, Bob Fox, Edward Handville, lb johnson, Dave Wilson, Bob Beaton, Wesley Smith, Bill Schneidewind, George Bremser, and Dick Wagner were also members of the squad. While the football squad was attracting many spectators, the less publicized, but no less capable soccer team was out doing its best for V.H.S. Soph stalwarts on the soccer squad were Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, jim Harris, David Bamford, Leonard Tucci, and Pete Healy. In the big winter sport, basketball, such sophomores as Bob Beaton, Sven Peterson, George Penndorf, Bob Fox, Ralph Richardson, and Dick Gartley took Part. Spending much of their time last spring out on the athletic field practicing for track events were john Nichols, Sven Peterson, jack Cougan, Dave Wilson, Earle Courter, George Bremser, joe Morley, jack Addis, Paul Haberbush, jim Harris, Ed Laux, Wayne Varley, and Bill Wahl. George Penn- dorf, Bob Fox, Bob Beaton, Dick Wagner, and Leonard Tucci were to be found on the baseball diamond. Bill Bruckmann and Tom McGovern were the only Sophomores on the tennis team and Ralph Carlson, Bob Schneider, john Dean, and Dave Bamford, manager, were members of the golf team. Also well represented in intramural sports. the sophomores showed, in many cases, that they were equal to many of the upperclassmen. The feminine side of the class was also well represented in sports. The Girls' A.A. boasted such members as Ann Gulla, Kitty Molinaro, josephine Ces- tone, Mary McBratney, Mary Samuel, Marjorie Peltz, Lila Baker, Carol Knod- erer, Norma Carmichael, and Edith Guancione. ln the realm of dramatics, Ralph Richardson, Dave Wilson, Bob Doug- lass and Earle Courter starred in one of Mr. Butterworth's famous produc- tions entitled The Monkey's Paw, Behind the scenes to help with the scenery for this performance were Bob Dickenson and Dick Gartley. The Sophomores have contributed much to the activities of the school this year, and are to be congratulated on their fine work. 029
