Understudies The Sophomores prepared for their active year by picking very efficient leaders as officers. They were: President, Ronnie Jones; Vice-President, Barbara Holladay; Secretary, Barbara Burke; Treasurer, Paul Walker; and Joan Jensen and Barbara Foust, Senators. They helped the Freshmen swing into the newness of things by initiating them, one of the dutiful pleasures of the Sophomore Class each year. The Freshmen will probably never be the same again. They were set back a little when they came in fourth in the “Echo” Contest among the upper six classes, and thus being in the lower half, took part in preparing and presenting the Christmas party. They dug right in when the carnival rolled around and did pretty well for themselves coming in third and winning a $5.00 prize to help build up the class treasury. Joan Jensen, popular girl candidate for queen of this class, came in second and earned an additional cash prize for the class. We hope the Sophomores keep up their good work and bring in prizes next year. Their assembly program was a great success, with a surprisingly good showing of hidden talent. This class has always presented well its assembly porgrams, thanks to the careful planning and also the help of Miss Brown, the sponsor. Then one day the world turned a dazzling gold color. No, we weren’t going color-blind; it was just the Sophomore sweaters. A bright gold with a black “53“ on the left sleeve, and above the left pocket, a Lamp of Know- ledge was the Sophomores brilliant creation. This original idea, The Lamp of Knowledge, is very different from the well recognized “W” which is common on all the Wheatfield class sweaters. The Sophomores should be congratulated for their fine taste. The Sophomores also had a bright idea concerning their class parties. For the first semester party, the girls were to do the planning and pre- senting; the second semester party was just reversed, with the boys putting forth their efforts to try to outdo the girls. Both the boys and girls did a good job in preparing and presenting the parties, and they were both well attended. With all of these activities completed and old memories put in the back of their minds, they look forward to their Junior year filled with very exciting events.
