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.

Bit Players With the “sophisticated” Seniors, “hard-working” Juniors, and “in- between” Sophomores, the green Freshmen boldly began their high school careers. To guide them through their new experiences requires capable and reliable students, and so they chose their officers accordingly with Allen Stembel as President; Doris Misch, Secretary; Karen Deerberg, Treasurer; Frank Jones and Arthur Green, Senators. It did not take long for them to catch on when the “Echo” Contest came up. They were in the winning group although they did not place first. Then came the long-dreaded initiation, highlight of the Freshman year. Though the Sophomores seemed to be without mercy, the Freshmen per- formed their required duties and surprisingly pulled through without any ill effects. They were very lucky to get very profitable stands to take care of when the carnival rolled around. With these two stands and Doris Misch as popular girl candidate, they made a very good showing even though they did not win a prize. The enthusiasm this class has surely will bring rewards for them in coming school years. Their assembly program helped the classmates become better ac- quainted with one another, giving them a chance to express their own ideas and to show their talents. It was also very interesting and entertaining for those attending the program. They planned and attended well their first class party which was a chili supper and skating party combined. This party turned out to be so successful that they are looking forward to many more in the future. Although the Green Freshies are looking forward to their Sophomore year, they will never forget the experiences in their first year of high school. They would like to express thanks to their sponsor. Miss Stroup, who proved to be of great help both in getting the class started and working with them throughout the year. 22
