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.

During their season they won a vast majority of their games and went all the way to the finals in the Gary eighth-grade tourney. In the tourney their first game was with Franklin, whom they downed, and then went on to win over St. Hedwig’s and Edison of Gary. In the final game, our boys fell victim to Tolleston’s superior size and went down in defeat. However, they received a runner-up trophy, which will be good inspiration in future years. Here’s hoping that this bunch of boys stick together—and when they become seniors, watch their smoke. J. Hopkins T. Snemis. Fifth row: J. Fields, J. Smith, P. Woodruff, C. Bowers, D. Ralph, A.
