X-J WGS X Probably the most outstanding feature of the Freshman Class is their ability in sports. The boys turned out in force for football and in a few years will make good varsity ma- terial. Those that attained a position are: Don Adams, Leo Andreassi, Paul Campbell, Chuck Coulson, Kenneth Dorian, Iohn Hipp, Germaine Letezia, Bob Lantos, Bill Mapoles, Sonny Piazzaf Luke Weimer and Dave Wilson. They are not lacking in performers for bas- ketball either. Their team played intramural as well as outside games and, win or lose, they were good sports. They won almost all the games they played. Those playing were Ken- neth Dorian. Iohn Hipp, Bob Lantos, Germaine Letezia, Karl Park and Herby Shearer. At this time we turn the spotlight on the girls. The girls' basketball team played each class twice in a series of intramural games. The best game was played against the Sophomores whom they had the good fortune to defeat. Other games showed that all they needed were a few added years and some practice to be- come a first rate team. The girls on the team new ' 1 . ser will 4 s 5202 ' I rx OYYlC'?:85'o0:el' .

The girls' chorus has been complimented on many occasions for excellent choral work. The Freshman 'class contributed much time and talent to it. They were never too busy to attend an extra rehearsal. The Freshman talent consisted of Mary Lou Adams, Pippy Antinoro, Raysa Bonow, Ioanne Claycomb, Barbara Coon, Ianet Edwards, Carol Geist, Mildred Haight, Bebe Kahl, Pippy Puma, Rosalyn Ro- manoff, and Margaret Sebert. Mrs. Grandinett evidently liked the Fresh- man Class ability because she had quite a few participating in the band. A few showed great talent and promised success in the fu- ture. The Freshmen in the band and orches- tra were: Esther Horner, Bob Hornanay, Elva Long, Karl Park, Pauline Wertz, Iackie Wilkin- son, Dave Wilson, Rosalyn Romanoff, and Phyllis Rabinowitz. A

As the final procession swings around the hippodrome, the ab- sence of some of our star performers is very noticeable. But our loss of these performers is a gain for others, because they are now work- ing under a big-top of much larger dimensions. They have signed up with a bigger shop, and are performing their feats of skill, courage, and daring, in a much larger ring-a ring in which the yelling ot vendors selling peanuts, popcorn, and red-hots, is strangely miss- ing-a ring not quite so brightly lit or gayly painted as the old one- a ring in which the thunderous applaus which usually accompanies each heroic feat is replaced by the roar of artillery. Instead there is only the murky jungle of the South Pacific or the slimy mud and biting cold of France, where everyone is a man and every 'man is a star performer. A few of these star performers, who entered high school as Fresh- men with the class of '45, are pic- tured on this page in tribute to what they have done and what they will do. At the time the Phoenician goes to press Vernon lones and Bob Mar- tin are displaying their rugged tal- ents in the Marine Corps some- where in the South Pacific. Van Thomas is aboard a Destroyer-Escort somewhere in the Atlantic. Red ToP-Left-- Right- Fred Mebs Iohn Trent Van Thomas 3U Lawrence Roberts Bo'r'roM--Leif to THE GREATES ZZ?
