Struggling . . . fo Win Their Goa ... Rip Van Winkle awoke from his long sleep and stumbled down the mountain side. How's the Class of '42 coming along? he asked as the barber adjusted the towel. Splendid! replied the barber, They're rated as Sophomores now. Really? ft doesn't seem anytime at all since they were real little tots. Oh, they've accomplished a lot in their lifetime, especially in the last year or so. Some of the best athletes in Blume High come from the Sophomore class. For instance, there's Bill Lietz, John Headapohl, Richard Daum, Don Kohler, Dick Erb, Bob Streight, and Frayne Combs, Jr., not to mention others who have proved they can do outstanding work in the field of sports. Oh yes, and do you remember Georgene Shuster, Ruth Cory, and Ned DeLong? They've been strutting their stuff in the cheer leading section this year. Ruth, along with Doris Shuler and Bill Green, represents the Sophomore class on the Lantern Staff and they've handled their job in the most efficient manner possible. It sounds as if they're an 'up and coming’ class. They most certainly are. They've made the Junior Hi-Y a big success. Of course, with Don Kohler as president and Bill Lietz as secretary-treasurer, they just couldn't miss. The Sophomores have their representatives in the School Council, too. There are the two Doris's (Shuler and Harvey), Bill Lietz and Frayne Combs Jr. You should have gone to their Freshman-Sophomore dance, one of the biggest and most successful parties of the year. Oh—I almost forgot—you remember Carl Abe Jr., the little fellow? Well, he's still a little fellow but the big secretary-treasurer of the Stamp Club. You'll find a lot of the girls in the Girl Reserves, too. Say, they really are going to town, aren't they? But how about the girls, haven't they proved themselves worthy of mention? Why, of course. Janice Rinehart is one of the best athletes in school. And the Home Economics girls certainly have been doing their part in promoting good citizenship. They're taking advanced work in food and clothing. They practiced planning, preparing, and serving a dinner in class and then proceeded to prepare a banquet for the Wapak-oneta city teachers and board members. For the benefit of the country students who remained in the building at noon for lunch, they carried on a cafeteria from Thanksgiving un-til Easter. For Christmas, they made candy and for Easter they made themselves new outfits. Much skill was shown in their suits and dresses. But the girls aren't ahead of the boys one bit. Jim Abbott has shown courage and endurance in keeping up his school work and is considered a member of the Sophomore class. Although the cast has been removed, he is still in bed. Well, that settles it. You needn't shave the other side of my face. I'm going back to sleep. With an ambitious bunch like that around, I won't even be missed. Hey—come back here! Well, I'll be—I didn't even get to tell him about Rooms 8, 13, and 14 saving tax stamps in order to get radios for themselves. And, Gee! I didn't even think about all those Sophomores in the band, orchestra, and choir. Come to think of it, Blume High just couldn't get along without 'them fellers'.
