ed Sophomores It might as well be spring, is, or should be the theme song of every one of the so- phisticated sophomores of good ole' W. H. S. As you wandered down the halls of our high school you could hear the industrious biology students of Mr. Milliken thinking out loud to themselves as to whether bacteria was a thousand legged worm or a type of tu- berculosis. Or maybe that was a scientist. Oh well! As you passed 108 you could hear the pa- tient voice of Miss Bays explaining to her brilliant geometry students why two and two equals four. However we are not completely ignorant! We have finally learned that we have plenty of time between classes, so, unlike previous years of rushing to our classes and ,lgnogzlging jf H' limit .ii H 1 Officers President .....,.................. Edwin Howell Vice-president ..i..... Alvin Herrington Secretary-Treasurer ..........................Clifford McEachern everyone down, we are seen lingering in the halls, whispering sweet nothings to our one and onlys. Queer as it may seem to you, we have ac- tually done some downright work. Almost all of our girls belong to G. R. and the great majority of boys attend Sr. Hi-Y. Besides these, we also take part in many music groups. Of course we wouldn't boast or anything but as far back as we can see, it seems as though we are the best bunch of sophs yet. So to the freshmen of Junior high- You have much to look forward to next year in being what they call - A SOPHOMORE I!

X Qur Jaunty Juniors We are the 119 Juniors, 59 boys and 60 girls, who have not yet cultivated that in- telligent senior look, nor mastered that art of sophisticated senior-sauntering. Perhaps one of our greatest assets is the domineering athletes of our class, ninty- nine and ninty-nine one-hundredths per cent of the male members participated in some sport. Several made first team football, while sixty per cent of the first ten in basketball hail from the mighty junior class. Knob Rogers, acting football and basketball cap- tain, has led the Ark Valley individual scor- ing record for the past two years. Another event which brought us into the lime-light was the unexpected case of scarlet fever, contracted by our basketball manager, Johnny Gasper. This not only meant a vaca- tion for John, but a week's delay for both coaches and basketball players. This was a brutal shock not only to the fans, but also to the girls who Were left waiting. Many juniors were staunch and hearty sports followers, and showed surplus pep and energy throughout the year. High Y, Girl Reserve, A Cappella, Boys Officers President ,...,...,c......

Esther Lee Titus and Girls Glee Club are only a few of the activities we took part in. An unmeasurable amount of talent was displayed on the evening of November 28, when Growing Pains, directed by Helen Louise Crouch, was presented before a crowded house. The audience was temporar- ily puzzled, for it appeared that we had bor- rowed two Hollywood Stars to lead our crew of 18, none other than Margaret Linn and Gerald Rogers. The play proved to be a hilar- ious comedy and a raging success. After long discussions, thinking, planning, work, and decorating, we all turned out in our lovely formals and best suits to royally entertain the seniors with a banquet and prom. The American Legion Hall was gaily decorated, carrying out an appropriate theme. It proved to be a momentous occa- sion. Next year we are looking forward to an even fuller calendar, and, with our class, we can't miss. ...14....

Through the years, we have gathered other members and now we are the largest class in school-165 members. Now as experienced students we can tell what X equals, thanks to Mr. Devore, and are acquainted with Ivanhoe and the Lady of the Lake. This was the first year we were given the privilege of attending ia senior high party. Because we have so much excess energy, We were employed to clean up after the party. J. A. Seaton was elected to head Junior Hi Federation, while Clarence Cain was pre- sident of Junior Hi-Y and Glenda Jean Pilant was president of Blue Triangle. The junior high scientists in Mrs. Oyer's class proved that they could create as baffl- ing odors as the chemistry class. In the spring, the Lions Club presented awards to the twelve most outstanding ninth graders. Our freshman party was a howling suc- cess with even a few freshman wolves on the loose. The Junior Hi basketball team, which was composed mainly of freshmen, though not the Ark Valley champions, won a large percentage of their games and gained exper- ience that will help them when they are the Valley Champions two years from now! We were the first class to be required to take health under the new state law, and, now after two semesters, we can tell the dif- ference between the cranium and the fibula. In case these words sound distant we have also mastered Latin and Spanish. Now as we finish our third year with red flags flying Con our report cardl, we are looking forward to our first year in senior high as sophomores but we will never forget our joyous freshman year. ...151
