Sophomore Class History In our Freshman year, we, the class of 1948, sponsored a successful dance under the guidance of Mrs. Van Kuren. Our class oiheers were president, Lee Waterhuryg vicefpresident, Eugene Mankouski, secretary, Alice Marko, and treasurer, Doris Miner. We all have pleasant memories of our Freshman year at West Canada. Our Sophomore year started od with a hang. The hang was the initiation sponsored hy the Seniors, in which we were compelled to wear giddy clothing, and at an assemhly, we were made to perform various stunts for the enjoyment of the honorahle Seniors. After this, we settled down to hegin the year's work under the watchful eye of Mrs. Quaekenhush, our homeroom adviser. Cur class officers were chosen as follows: Lee Weiterlwury, president, Joan Whitiiug, vicefpresidentg Marilyn Greenfield, secretary, and jack Carney, treasurer. The Sophomores are well represented in all school activities. Six of our laoys are players on the junior Varsity haskethall, while two Sophomores are Varsity players. Three of the girls are Junior Varsity cheerleaders. Not only in sports, hut in hand and glee eluh and various other activities Sophomores are prominent. We, the class of 1948, have come, with this year, one step closer to that goal we are striving to gain, that of heing a Senior at W. C. V. C193
