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.

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.

FRE Once upon a time, there were about a hundred children who, after consulting their mammas and papas, decided to attend William Penn College. With the purchases of green hats and Orientation books, this one hundred stumbled into the many activities of the first week. The hubbub of registration receeded enough, in time, to allow the intellectual upperclassmen to give them some much needed pointers on How to go to College. Thus instructed, this group of kiddies met in the chapel and elected for the semester Arlo Tatum, president, Robert Utterback, vice-president, Nliriam Wil- liams, secretary, and Shirley Riggle, treasurer of their class. The faculty then took the freshman's little hands in theirs and offered them an evening of informal entertainment in the drawing room. Life once again seemed worth living. The for- mal reception which was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. was a fitting cli- max to an exciting week. Ml's. Nlarion T. Nagler, class adviser, comforted the Greenies during the horrors of initiation. The boys' bitterness at having to don girls' clothing and the tears shed over onion necklaces were all forgotten when the presidents of the Fresh and Sophomore classes burried the hatchet. In the broad field of speech, Miss Moe was able to lead the new comers to frequent suc- cesses. Wilmer Tjossem demonstrated that his merits as a debater were undebatable. Gladys Gullick, as one of the most active mem- bers of the Drama Club, entertained various delighted audiences. The class president gain- ed recognition at Kirksville, Niissouri, for his original poetry. Nace Brubaker and others had a big part in putting over various forensic- sponsored activities. In short, many of these one hundred boys and girls found speech a very vital and interesting study, as well as an out- side activity. Sports attracted dozens of the more en- ergetic. In football Bob Ireland, Kenneth Dunwoody, Dusty Nlaher, Bill Gillespie, Bob Bown, Bill Collins, Neil Edwards, Don Robertson, Orville White, Iunior Heacock, Iimmy Ott, William Burger, Charles Covoner, and Charles LeRette upheld the freshman honor. Basketball was suecessfullv attempted by Delbert Smith, Neil Edwards, Don Robert- son, Iunior Heacock, Bob Bown, Charles. Le- Rette, Bob Ireland, Kenneth Dunwoody, and Orville White. Earthest from home is William Hull, from New York State. Bill does clever things with his hands and mind. He plans to be an archi- tect. Esther lean and Nlarvin Haines are far from home, too. At least Ohio sounds rather distant. ML1sic seems to be the middle name of about half of the freshman. Professor Baylor found the beginners extremely useful in his chorus of forty voices. Especially outstand- ing among the freshmen are Esther lean Haines, contralto soloistg Shirley Riggle, soprano solo- istg and Arlo Tatum, baritone. The personnel of both the chorus and the Quaker Choir con- sisted mostly of first year Pennites. Not only were freshmen active in vocal music, but an inspection of the band reveals many first class horn-tooters who wore green caps last fall. Others are showing their talents at the organ and piano. When it comes to the field of service, the freshmen once again shine forth. Dale Walker moved to the heating plant to become the roommate of Nlarvin Haines, and these two are kept busy shoveling coal during their spare moments. If the room you are in is too hot or rather chilly, there is undoubtedly someone else on duty, but if the room is the right tem- perature blame it on Dale or Niarvin. It might be just as well not to mention the various freshmen who humble themselves to perform the most important of campus duties, the clean-up men. Next to presidents, deans, and business managers, janitors are undoubted- ly the most important of all people on a college campus. Several freshmen tfor example Cope- land, Killinger, Stein, or Robertsonj come under this classification. Dishwashers such as Virginia lVlcCracken, Harold Tibbs, Orville White, and Dale Walker, are to be congratulated. Perhaps sometime students at William Penn will be conducted through the kitchen, so that folks will realize how much work there is to feeding so many people. O we n Johnson knows something about the kitchen, and so does Bob Ireland, at least these freshman kiddies toot in and out of the swinging door often enough. Oh, and sayl Keith Emmert knows something about waiting tables, too. But then, Keith has so many accomplishments! Richard Carey, Francine Andrews, Bob Ziemer, and Robert Utterback know all there is to know about How to get grades. Some people are smart-others aren't.
