Sophomore Class
The Sophomore class of '52 started the year out thinking and discussing colors for their class sweaters. Several salesmen brought samples for them to see. Finally, they agreed to buy pearl gray sweaters with royal blue letters from Ed Johnson. It took long enough for the sweaters to get here, but the sophomores were proud to own them when they did arrive. In October the class sponsored an amateur show for the Halloween Carnival. The special features were the Harmonettes, Patricia McDermitt, Delores Stewart, and Jeannie Brown; Belle From Hopkins Corner, a reading and tap dance by Billie Jo Wallace; the Pixie Four, Larry Smith, Larry Hughes, Joe Kelsey and Richard Curless; a piano solo by Phyllis Whiteman; and a vocal solo by Carolyn Worl. The skits were "Dew Dew Dewy Day," and "Goofus Dance." The first party was held in December. It was a potluck supper in the cafeteria. Games were held in the gym afterwards. To gain entrance each student had to have at least one Swan soap wrapper, which was later sent to CARE. A market day sale was set for March 25. The sophomore plays were scheduled for April 13-14. They consisted of three one-act plays. The comedy was "Elmer," melodrama was "The Farmer's Daughter," and the serious play was the "The True in Heart."
