Looking back over the past ten years of the Sophomore Class, one will find many V pleasant memories. The first four years made us accustomed to the ever active school life. During these years many lasting friendships were formed. In the fifth and sixth grades, the idea of having more than one teacher was pleasing to all. 1 he sixth proved to be one of our most eventful years. During the entire year, commencement was foremost in everyone’s mind. On that important day fifty-eight pupils received diplomas. Upon entering the seventh and eighth grades, the girls were given the opportunity to join the Junior Girl Reserves. Also, we found many new and interesting subjects on our schedules. The Freshman year is remembered as our first attempt to earn money. The class sold magic slates. The boys and girls had separate homerooms. Miss Arnold was the adviser for the girls, and Mr. Stephenson was adviser for the boys. The present Sophomore year has proved itself as being one of our most successful years. Many of our students have added to the high standards of our class by taking part in athletic, musical, and scholastic activities. Our class has worked very hard this year to earn money for future years.

The class of 1940 started life in school under the guidance of Miss Pease and Miss Anstette as first grade teachers. The second year found us with Miss Martz and Miss Boling. In the third year under the guidance of Miss Schaffer and Miss Anderson, a bird club was started which continued throughout the fourth grade with Miss Beal and Miss Doeble as teachers. Upon entering the fifth grade we found a new interest in school life, this being the first year we had ever had more than one teacher, and the chance to change classes. The sixth year was climaxed by graduation. At this time seventy-five pupils received diplomas. Next came the glory and excitement of becoming Junior High School students with parties, hikes, and other events. The eighth grade found us entering the band, and also starting a Junior Girl Reserve Club under the direction of Miss Vogelsang. Then came high school with a new idea for dividing the class. The boys started with Mr. Stockton and the girls with Miss Small. This arrangement continued through the Sophomore and Junior years. The Junior year brought all the fun of planning a reception and attending the other school events. At the end of our Junior year we find the enrollment reduced to fifty-five pupils. The fifty-five all look forward with hope for great achievements in the future. Martha Gephart Page Nineteen

Miss Shepard, Miss Wellbaum, and Miss Mart certainly encountered scenes which have always been in the minds of the present Freshmen. Being promoted to our third year, we at once began the study of birds in the Audubon Society with Miss Shaffer as our leader. In the fourth grade Miss Beal supervised a hike which none of us have forgotten. Facing the fifth and sixth years we felt quite grown up and most of our activities were concerned with the coming graduation into Jr. High. In all our glory we received our diplomas and Reva Oliver delivered the valedictory. Then we left Mr. Cavender whose guidance we had been under. The following seventh and eighth grades proved that we were growing up. Miss Slahaugh was our adviser both years and we were becoming used to the changing of classes. We elected our first class officers and organized a Student Council under the leadership of Miss Eck. Many received letters for Band and Orchestra work, and the ten highest ratings were given to those participating in the State Board Exams. Now we have entered our first vear of high school. For the first time the hoys and girls have taken separate rooms. We were offered a wider selection of subjects and most of us have fared well. We are preparing our treasury for future years by selling soft drinks, candy, and hot dogs during the baseball season. We hope to continue our steady progress and are looking forward to the three remaining years at West Carrollton.—Lurline Thiel man, Mary Jean Blackburn. Page Twenty-one
