SOPHOMORES Our sponsors arc: Mrs. Huddleston, Miss Magrames, Coach Hatrak, and Miss DcVol. As greenhorns last year we broke into our high-school career as follows: Clyde White, president; Doris Hostetler, vice president; Don Eliot, secretary; Lois Regal, treasurer. Our main social event was the Hallowe’en dance. It was held on October 29, 1943. It was helped along by a ghost walk, which proved to be a little rough. Later in the year, June 16, to be exact, we held our annual beach party which turned out a little on the cold side. Ripening from our greenhorn year, we started off our sophomore year with Dick Erlandson, president; Gene Goforth, vice president; Eileen Sanderson, secretary; and Sidney Tucker, treasurer. We held a sophomore Christmas party on December 19, and everyone had a good time. Later in February we had the Valentine dance and cleared a profit of $20.50. We organized a Biology Club just recently and are planning on a field trip near the end of the term. We feel we have been successful during the first years of our high school and hope that we can do just as well during our last. Fmf row: H. Lundstrom, L. Quigley, J. Whited, B. Gunderson, R.

After a dull beginning, a renaissance-swept the class, fostered by the May Dance. The juniors went to work and accomplished their goal, They had good decorations and excellent refreshments. The junior class appears to have an intelligent group—there were seventeen who passed the test making them eligible for three-and-a-half-year graduation.
