. -X SHEAREH HEATH MCCULLOH STEWART DAWE junior Class Histoffy By ELSIE HOEFER HE JUNIORS are next in line for graduation and must be worthy of the honors that are coming to them. They have done their best dur- ing their three years in A. H. S. so that it might be said of them. They deserve all the honor they received. They started the year with 126 members under the leadership of Miss Neva VVeisgerber, Miss Marjorie Taylor. Miss Mabel Pinson, Miss Virginia Reeder, and Mr. Roy Martin. The officers wcrc: l resident, Bruce llcathg vice-presidents, John Stewart and Donita Mctfullohg secretary, Betty Shear- erg and treasurer, Howard Dawe. Their activities began with a hike during the third week of school. On October 29, the Junior play, Her Step-Husband, was presented. The play, efficiently coached by Neva VVeisgerber, included Faye Munger. Cleason Minter, Almeda Black, Evelyn Chase, George Makins. lfvelyn lX'lacDonald, Earl Weiiiholcl, Earl Bandlow, and Lillian VVeaver. To the ambitious Juniors goes the honor of having the record sale of hot-dogs, pop, and candy during the football season. The Chamber of Hor- rors at the Annual Carnival was another of the achievements of this class. The Junior Chapel consisting of four numbers was presented on February 14. A Valentine Fantasy by Betty Shearer, Almeda Black, lfvelyn Chase, and Opal Scott opened the chapel. Other numbers included a humorous reading, entitled i'He and Shef' by Faye Mungerg two vocal solos by Mrs. C. E. Hawkes, and a one-act pantomime. Mellerdrama. presented by Ruth Kean, Yngarellag Katherine McClintick, Maggieg Richard McVVilliams, Man- uel, Kyle Thurber, Patrick, Pearl Nash. Doris Pinkham, Curtains, Thelma Ayres, Hours, Van Mayo, Sung Bruce Heath, Darkness, Dorothy Haines, Horizong and Dorothy Whitehaii'. Reader. The greatest event in the history of the Junior class was the Junior- Senior reception, which proved to be a very clever and original affair. For the first time in history each member of the class was on either a major or an auxiliary committee. The above mentioned achievements are the regular activities expected of the Juniors. They did not neglect their duty to their school, however, for a number of the Juniors have taken part in the school activities. The boys have been prominent in football, basketball, and trackg the girls have taken part in the high school operettasg and the contestant who repre- sented A. H. S. in reading was a Junior. Taken as a whole the Junior class has been active during the greater part of the year, their school spirit has not wavered, and in the future when- over an S. O. S. call is heard, the class of '31, with its earnest co-opera- tion, will back all projects.

HARRIS SAVIDGE MERRILL JONES Sophomore Class History HE SOPHOMORES are the third cog in the school community. They are the stable link between the Juniors and Freshmen. The second year is the transitional span between the raw period of freshman bewilderness, receptiveness, and general inferiority complex and the upper classman's com- plete grasp of his enviromnent, his abilities, and the necessary preparation for life. VVith an enrollment of I6O, the Sophomores rc-entered .Xbilene High in the fall of 1929 and began their ycar's activities under the sponsorshin of Miss Vera Steininger, Miss Wfinnie Scott. Miss Esther Turvey, and Mr. Earl Endacott. .Xt the first class meeting' the following officers were elected: President, Fred Savidqeg vice-president, Hannah Merrill: secretary. Gertrude jones: treasurer, Clyde Harris. The first activity of the year was a hike held at Murphyls grove. Games were played and then refreshments of lunch ham, buns, pickles, cookies. marshmallows, and bananas were enjoyed. Later on in the year, the Chapel Committee of the Student Council asked that a chapel be presented by the Sophomores. who were ready to respond to the call of duty. Mary Helen Gray gave a piano solo, Arlene Page. a read- ing, The Landing of the Pilgrimsng Marvin Rasher, a vocal solo, 'fOn the Road to Mandalayf, and Royce Meyers, in keeping with the season. read, f'What I Am Thankful For' A playlet, An Unexpected Thanksgiving,', was presented by Lois VVarn, Mrs. Parker, Phyllis Dentzer, Miss Eaton, Hannah Merrill, Julia, junior Haberman, Mr. Grayg and Lethayer Eckles, Mr. Eaton. At the Annual Carnival, the Sophomore class had a ring toss which tested skill and provided fortunes for the skillful. At the Herington and Lindsborg' basketball games, the class sold Eskimo pies, candy, and gum that there might be a balance in the treasury at the beginning of next year. Two members of the class, John Dieter and Deloss Romine had the un- usual distinction of being' on the debate team. The Sophomore girls won the interclass hockey tournament in a close game with the Seniors. The Seniors alone were able to defeat them in the interclass basketball tournament. The Sophomores played a good game, and received second place. ln short, the Sophomore is now accepted, taken in, as it Were, to the heart of the school amid a fanfare of trumpets in his own breast, and a queer, eye-stinging, and thoroughly indescribable feeling that he has arrived,
