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”. NORMA MENDENHALL, ’44. —twenty-nine—

 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 are proud to have the honor of being the largest Freshman class in the history of our Alma Mater. However, during the course of the year, our ranks were reduced to ninety-three. Regardless of all the superior glances of disgust the upper-classmen bestowed on us “Freshies”, we survived, and are now a part of V. H. S. After the first few weeks of bewilderment, we settled down to seriousness and elected our class officers. They are as follows: President .......................Gladys Kremer Vice-President .....................Fred Nickol Secretary-Treasurer .............Bill Cashman Student Senate ..................Jean Hopkins Pat Connaughton —thirty—
