OPHO ORE The Sophomoresl-what would Penn bc without them? This class has a representative in almost every activity on the campus and succeeds in winning more than its share of honors. Although we're going to school to study and learn, most of us don't act as if we knew it. Nevertheless the Sophomore class has its quota of brains, lt's not every class that can boast three geniuses like Frances Bondhus, Helen Maxwell and john Street. The Sophomores are popular with their schoolmates too. This year a Sophomore, Violet W3l'ClCl', was elected Homecoming Queen. Two of the attendants, Beverly Briggs Kenoyer and Frances Bondhus, were also Sophomores. Pep is not lacking in this class with Bernice Alcorn, cheer leader, helping Tommy and then taking his place second semester. About half' of the Pep Club are Sophomores, including Elva Airy, Ethelmae Aten, lean Gillam, janey Haigh, Betty Huxford, G. Marie Iohnson, Hazel Lown, Helen Maxwell, Emily Newlin, Nadine Sparks, and Opal Weant, In music the Sophomores are well-repre- sented. Bill Kilpatrick, with his splendid tenor voice, is much in demand as a soloist. Elva Airy and Ethelmae Aten are membersvof the Quaker Choir. Ethelmae has also made her talent known in chapel as a vocal and organ soloist. Those of us who have marched and played in the band are: Elva Airy, Don Hack- ley, G. Marie johnson, Bill Kilpatrick, Helen Maxwell, Harlan Schuler, Opal Weant, and Bill Whitake1'. In the football season these Sophomores, Ierry Hiatt, Pat Patterson, Bill Collins, Dick Rabenold, and Morgan Kisor played hard for the Gold and Blue. Bill Collins and Bill Day represented the class on the basketball court. The girls, too, have their part in the sports at Penn. Who hasn't heard of Dale Renaud's basketball squad? Coach Renaud, as well as Marjorie Moore, Helen Maxwell, Emily Newlin and jackie Thayer are sophomores. There is a lot of dramatic ability displayed in the class-both on the stage and off. jerry Hiatt, G. Marie lohnson, Chuck Smith, Don Hackley, Harlan Schuler, Bettie Lou VanDyke, Guy Efnor, and Kenneth Russell played in the Christmas play. Iohn Elliott, G. Marie johnson, Margaret Masters, Marjorie Moore and Emily Newlin are all active in forensic work. Marie is presi- dent of the group while Emily is secretary. Emily, john, and Marjorie are members of the national Pi Kappa Delta society, and Margaret is eligible for membership. Emily and Mar- garet represented the college in the debate tournament at Kirksville, Missouri. john won excellent ranking in the state extemporaneous speaking contest held at Penn. Several ofthe class work on the Chronicle Staff. Frank Buckingham serves double duty being, also, a newshawk for Oskaloosa Daily Herald. Emily Newlin has the none-too-easy job of being circulation manager for the Chron- icle. Ethelmae Aten is News Editor and Iohn Elliott is Feature Editor. After the news is all gathered the most important part is yet to be done-the printing, here lohn Kendrick and Don Carl play an important part. Many of the girls in the class are finishing the second year of the elementary teacher's course and will be teaching next year. We are certain that they will make good teachers and wish them lots of luck and popularity with their pupils. Those finishing the course this year are: Ioyce Barnes, leanne Bunting, Val Eva Graham, Vera Rhodebeck, Leta Snively, lean Gillam, Hazel Lown, Marjorie Moore, and A. Marie johnson. Most of us here at Penn are working for our education. In almost any type of job you are able to find a Sophomore. ln the ofhce is Beverly Kenoyer waiting on the mail seek- ers. ln the library is Orin Bell to answer the telephone and do janitor work, here also Flor- ence Dunn waits on you in her quiet way. Don Carl lines up things in the print shop as did lohn Kendrick first semester. Emily Newlin works for Mrs. Kirby. When meal time comes around we find a large percentage of the waiters and waitresses are sophomores. Dale Renaud is head waiter. Others are: Elva Airy, Ianey Haigh, Opal Weant, Bettie Lou VanDyke, and Hazel Lown. Out in the kitchen Leta Snively and A. Marie Johnson help keep things going, and at dish- washing time one can always depend on john Street. Harold Moehring is a main-stay inthe laundry, Ethelmae Aten works in the binderyp Iohn Street is laboratory assistant in Chemistry, and Iohn Pierce-Iones assists, in the Biology department. These are just a few more of the jobs that sophomores do so well. Then, of course, there are the general in- formation girls, the switch-board operators. Sophomores working at this post are lean Gillam, Helen Maxwell, Helen Ruby, and Nadine Sparks.

So the Sophomore Class presents some ol' the accomplishments of its members. Each member has his own special talents all of which cannot be mentioned. We think the Sopho- more Class has one of the best records in school and hope it may continue in the way it has come.
