Our U ndeffclwfmen Xfvith this year's junior class, the English-History course which was in- troduced to last year's eleventh graders was continued. Although a good deal of the information which they sought for their themes was gotten from exten- sive reading, the basic material was re- ceived from the textbook. mrhe slcy is the limit for reading and research. This was continuously preached to them throughout the year so that the educa- tion received by each one depended on his own efforts. Two themes were writ- ten during the year revealing the stu- dents' findings. The class was divided into different groups which met at cer- tain times in the auditorium to give reports and have discussion on the worlc. The officers, David Grim, president: Oscar Mogel, vice-president: Jane Mil- ler, secretary: James Royer, treasurer, were elected early in the fall of the year to lead the class in school activities. The juniors contributed to the school play and were also athletically minded, boasting of stars in all sport fields, par- ticularly in traclc and basketball. An unusually large and active class in the school's social, athletic and scholastic life is the sophomore class. The girls and boys were especially active in sports besides contributing to the oratorical contest, the cooperative, stamp club, Gargantuan and other school activities. Their social participa- tion was shown by their large represen- tation at the sweater dances held in the cafeteria. They also presented well- planned and interesting assembly pro- grams. This active participation in the school activities should help them to gain achievement when they come for the last time in Wyomissing High School to the senior class. The ninth graders, another large class, represents an active group of Vvyomissing High students. The girls ardently participated in the Junior Red Cross striving to help a needy cause by lmitting squares for an afghan, wrap- ping bandages, and taking part in other activities of the club. The boys are already athletically minded, participat- ing and perfecting themselves in the various sports of the school so they as iuniors and seniors will be able to help Vvyomissing lceep its laurels in basket- ball and other sports. They also toolc part in the activities of the Stamp Club, the Cooperative, and the Gargantuan. Although they are still new in the high school, the seventh and eighth graders have already made themselves lcnown by eagerly participating in the few clubs that are open to them, namely, the Gargantuan, the Stamp Club, the Cooperative, and the Junior Red Cross forthe girls.
