 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1942, thirty-four hopeful Freshmen entered high school. An initiation party was held in cur honor.

John Howard Jr. Secretary-Treasurer Dorothy Lee Fritchley. Sergeant-at-Arms Gail Stevens. Class Advisor Mr. Brandt. Thirty-two Freshmen remained to enroll as Sophomores at the beginning of the school year of 1943.
