SAUCY SOPOMORE SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President .........Robert Barga Vice-President.....Merlin Shank Secy.-Treas........Donna Littman Student Senate ....Peggy Kindell Harold Marchal Listen, my friends, and you shall hear, Of the Sophomores’ past successful year. The opening day of the school term of ’39 and ’40 brought back sixty-six boys and girls who had been christened, the year before, the “green Freshmen”. But since we were Sophomores, we had the undeniable right to “look down on the ‘green’ and ‘lowly Freshies’.” We, however, gazed in wonder at the more superior Juniors and mighty Seniors. After we had “settled down”, as the Faculty so states it, we held our annual election. Under the supervision of our efficient class adviser, Mr. Fambrough, we elected the following officers: President ......................Robert Barga Vice-President .................Merlin Shank Secretary ......................Donna Littman Student Senate .................Peggy Kindell Harold Marshall Many activities were offered to the students. The Sophomores were well represented in these. Among these were: Latin Club, F. H. A., F. F. A., Band, Orchestra, Choral Clubs, football, basketball, and baseball. During the year the girls competed in an inter-class basketball tournament and were defeated by the ‘rip-roaring’ Juniors. Many Sophomore girls were chosen to sing with the special girls chorus, which participated in the District Music Contest at Wittenberg College, March 20. Peggy Kindell, one of our Sophomore lasses, was chosen with Betty Jane Hole to lead the students in cheers for the school year. Both handled the position well and came up to expectations of those who supported them. And now that we have climbed another step on our ladder to higher ideals, we sincerely hope that our future steps will be as successful as our past ones. NANCY GEPHART, ’42
