'LM'l'L.OI'S As we yield ourselves to reminiscences of the past year, we recall to mind a year which has been both profitable and enjoyable in all respects. From the opening day up to the closing week, we have stood as a whole, offering what support we could to the Senior Class, and striving to improve ourselves through studies, athletics, and various other extra- curricular activities. We feel as if we have improved our- selves, and by this improvement we feel that with the sound support of the entire student body we will be very much capable of bearing the burden of leadership which is soon to placed upon our shoulders. We opened the year with the largest class in school, having 38 members on our roll. In our first class meeting we elected officers, and although all seemed worthy to hold these oHices, only a few could be honored with these positions. Those Juniors who were at Webb for the Brst time were met by the old Juniors in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere. There were no iron barriers between the old and the new. We immediately united and stood as a whole. It took only about a week for the excitement of the summer to wear OH. We then settled down to that type of life which appreciate and relate. only those who have experienced it can truly In the weeks that flitted by, the Juniors attained and held their share of honor in athletics, scholastic standings, debating, various musical organizations, and certain businesses of the student body, such as the Oracle staE, the social committee, and dormitory councils. In the Held of sports the Juniors showed their indefatigability and stamina by holding the Seniors to narrow margined- victories in two well-countended games. Many Juniors took part in the annual Turkey Day Clash, the Tiger-Bulldog game, and several were chosen to the All-Webb football team. All during the football season Juniors displayed their ability to work as a team and still stood as a whole. As football passed off the scene, its successor, basketball came on. Again juniors appeared in both top leagues, A and B, and it might be said that there were three juniors on the All-Webb Basketball team, which was the starting team in interscholastic competition. At the end of the regular season, the annual class tournament was held. Again the hard Eghting Juniors were only slightly overcome by their superiors. Follow- ing this tournament was the Tiger-Bulldog annual net classic in which several juniors again appeared. Recalling all the remaining major athletics, namely, base- ball and track, it is certainly evident that the Juniors have had an exceedingly good year in athletics, and should prove keen competition for the rising Junior class of next year. The scholastic rating of the Junior class is most assuredly above average with considerable improvement having been achieved since the beginning of the year. The juniors have many active members in both debating societies, and excellent rhetorical ability was shown in the Mid-Term Debate by members of our class. juniors displayed excellent musical talent in the Octet and especially in the band. Our class has even produced an in- trepid birdman. In viewing the coming Commencement we look in one sense with a feeling of sadness at the parting of those who have guided us so well, and yet, in another light, we look to Com- mencement as not an ending-We truly feel that this is our beginning.

Sophomores The class of 57 opened the fall term with 27 members, an increase of eight over the preceding year. Within a few days we had our first meeting and elected officers. They are as follows: Randy Bacon, President, Bob West, Vice-President, Chuck Coolidge, Secretary-Treasurer, and Eddie Barker, Mar- shal. The honor men we chose to represent our class were, Markley Huey and Ray Prescott. Right away we started to establish a name for ourselves in the Eeld of athletics. Ten of us went out and participated in football in the fall term. Our outstanding players were, Lann Malesky, Ray Prescott, Eddie Barker, David Smartt and Billy Don Bash. Ray Prescott stepped up from honorable men- tion into the ranks of the All-Webb football team. This is certainly a great honor for a Sophomore to get. Our football record as a Whole, we thought, was good. When basketball season started, we immediately elected a captain and began working ourselves into a smooth running team. Chuck Coolidge was our captain and under his leader- ship we placed third in the class tournament. Our first ive were as follows, Lann Malesky, Randy Bacon, Chuck Coolidge, Mike McDonnell and Bob Thomas but almost everyone in our class turned out and played. We had five in A league and numerous others in B and C leagues. We showed much more spirit and teamwork over last year and have high hopes for the forthcoming year. We also showed much ability and sportsmanship in track and baseball in the spring with a large number of us turning out for these two Spring sports. In the annual cross country race we placed three in the top runners. jasper Shealey, fifty, Butch Clayton, seventh, and Randy Bacon, ninth. However, our scholastic standing has not been hindered by our participating in extra curricular activities. We have ranked high in our academic work with Sophomore names appearing on all the honor rolls frequently, Of this, too, we are very proud. Usually the mid-term debaters are composed of Juniors but this year two Sophomores were given the honor to take part in this debate. They were Bob West and Chuck Coolidge, representing the Platonic Society. The Sophomore Class undertook a project this year which we hoped boosted the morale and added to the appearance of the school. Our class completely sanded and refinished the desks in one of the classrooms. Each boy took an active Part in this project and it showed a great deal of unity and co-operation. Many hours of hard work went into this project and when it was completed, we were all very proud of our efforts. We think this is certainly a feather in our cap as not many of the lower classes have started such a project. We have felt this year was a great success and we are looking forward to next year with great expectations of making it even a better one. Truly, we should be very proud of this year's record. vs fs- Page 32 EF i 'boi ....-A
