Mrs. Harnitz Jack Nerone Oren Lowder Phyllis Hamilton Advisor President Vice-Pres. Sec.-Treas. Sophomore History On September 2, 1947,we began our illustrious career, seventy-three strong, in the Virden Community High School. After being rouged and lipsticked by upperclassmen, we gathered our scattered five senses fthough some were mean enough to say we didn't have that manyj and cal- led a meeting, then we elected the following: President, Andy Gazdag Vice-president, Leo Sestakg Secretary-Treasurer, Cynthia Petersong Advisors, Mr. Crull and Mrs. Gerlach. Later in the fall, we selected Rhea Dawn Stewart to represent our class during the annual Homecoming Dance. Her escort was the Fresh- man President, Andy Gazda. We also had a stunt at the program in the afternoon preceeding the game. We flew through this year on the wings of our two social events, the first, a wiener roast, and the second, a rollar skating party. On August 31, l948,we again entered the doors of VCHS with a great deal of confidence for now we were Sophomores. The class was not quite as large as last year. The following were elected as officersg President, .Tack Ne roneg Vice-President, Oren Lowderg Secretary-Treasurer, Phyllis Hamilton. This year the Sophomore Class selected Phyllis Hamilton for its re- presentative at the Homecoming Dance. We were very much surprised and pleased when she was elected as Homecoming Queen. Both years we contributed several members to the band, glee club, athletics, and several organizations. Pat Smith and Rhea Dawn were first team cheerleaders. Having successfully completed half of our high school career, we hope to be back next year and continue to be good examples of VCHS citizenship. Compliments of, GARRETSON LUMBER COMPANY Z7
