JUNE ISSUE Slip (Ehuts of 1U23 AFTER the dreaded final examinations are over, the next task is writing the class notes. The writer of these is greatly to be pitied. There is an advantage, however, for one finds that his class has been doing a great deal more than lie thought. Looking back over our sophomore year we find that our class has been active in most of the doings of the school. With the aid of Henry Ambler as president, Marion Hepler as vice-president, Helen Stinson as secretary, and George Fox as treasurer, we began to make a name for ourselves. In athletics, during the football season, Ambler, Leibriek, Cottom, Chester-inan, Gitlin, and Florey represented the Class of ’23. In basketball, the best players among the boys were Leibriek, Myers, Fox, Adee, Ambler, Chesterman, Krewson, and Rapp. Rapp did some fine work in the interclass games. These boys won the championship and we hope they will keep it for us. We were very proud of having our numeral carved on the beautiful cup. Geraldine Mast and Margaret Green were the class stars in girls’ basketball. Both girls are very good forwards, and we hope they will make the team next year. In track, Ambler, Rombach, Woolley, Cottom, and Loughead did splendid work. Loughead had the good fortune to receive the much coveted track letter. Then there is baseball. What would our team be without Myers and Leibriek for the battery, and Rapp’s timely hits? The last thing concerning athletics at the end of the school year, was the election of Charles Leibriek as vice-president of the Athletic Association and Joseph Conway as baseball manager. We are quite proud of these boys, and have reason to be, because the officers are usually seniors. We feel sure that they will work as hard in the future as they have in the past. Our class is well represented in the Orchestra by Elsie Leusch and Margaret Kervin ,and also in the Glee Clubs. We were glad to have a hand in the production of ‘The Gypsy Rover.” The vocational boys have been putting themselves on the map this year. Some of them dramatized three scenes from Dickens’ ‘‘A Tale of Two Cities.” This was enacted in chapel one morning by sophomores. The vocational boys have distinguished themselves in many other kinds of work. In spite of our misgivings we came out on top with our first class dance. The hall was crowded and the decorations and orchestra were admired. In the recent book drive the sophomore class came out ahead giving more than half the number of books received. We are also glad to say that the sophomores led the school in punctuality. The sophomores must all possess good alarm clocks. Our attendance record measured up almost as well. We are proud of our scholastic standing, although we think that there ought to be more on the honor roll. Page Thirty-seven
