 npljnmorea From “greenies” to “grownies”! Yep, that’s us. From “green Fresh-ie” to grown-up Sophomores in the twinkling of an eye. It’s miraculous but true, how in such a short time we (like many before us) have changed from bewildered, self-conscious Freshmen to bewisdomed, self-confident Sophomores. In September, seventy-five pupils enrolled in the Sophomore class. As the year progressed, we lost four old members, but we welcomed open-heartedly two new members. When we became organized, we selected the following officers: President ...............-...Homer Prakel Vice-President .............Jo Ann Turpen Secretary and Treasurer ...Bonnie Rhoades Student Senate .............. Ruth Wagner Marshall Treon President .........Homer S. Prakel Vice-President Jo Ann Turpen Secy.-Treas........Bonnie Rhoades Student Senate— Ruth Wagner Marshall Treon —twenty-eight—

We presented our Junior Class Play, and selected our ring. (By the way, we are “awfully” proud of our rings.) Our class has many up-and-at-’em students, and we are proud of them. Several of our “he-men” displayed much talent in sports and took their places in football, basketball, and baseball. Others in the class who were musically inclined, enrolled in the various choral clubs, the orchestra, and the band. Also two Junior “laddies” were two of the four chosen as cheer-leaders, and they filled their positions like “veterans”. We’re all for you, Doyle and Jim. Now that our happy Junior year is at an end, we are anxiously waiting to be Seniors. We feel that we will have still another year that we will never want to forget, just as we have cherished memories of our Junior year that will never be forgotten.

It’s interesting to note that the upper-classmen do not notice the Sophomores very much; but stop and think a minute—what would they do without us? We have several excellent football and basketball players to our credit, and the majority of the class belongs either to the Latin, F. F. A. or F. H. A. clubs. These organizations we support with our utmost ability. We’re going to keep on with our hard work and, though we may have to give up many things in the next two years, when “1944” arrives, our names will be the proudest “above the stars”.
