Sophomore Class History By TABITHA DAVIDSON FTICR THE launching of our good ship in our Freshman year and starting our search for the Treasure Chest of knowledge. our second year saw us at far sea sailing at a rapid speed. At times our speed was slackened by great breakers, but we hope to be carried on to a successful landing two years from now. There were one hundred thirty-three in our little crew this second year. Some were un- able to continue the search. Occasionally o11e or two were picked up from some ship- wreck and added to our crew. For captain or president of our crew we elected Dean Issitt: first niate or vice-president. Gwendolyn Ro- mine: log keeper or secretary, Margaret VVhitehairg purser or treasurer, Herbert Meuli: and for first and second lieutenants or student council representatives, Jeanne Rogers and Donald Dieter. The finding of precious jewels of English. Latin, geometry, also sportsmanship and companionship, was an incentive to us to con- tinue our search. Other things that encouraged us greatly were the recreations we had. First we took a deck stroll to Baer's Grove. VVQ played games and enjoyed ourselves immense- ly. Our radio was a great pleasure to us. It brought us many interesting reports. While listening in we heard the report of the Abi- lene-Ellsworth football game and the great success our representatives had in selling hot dogs, candy bars, and gum. WVe also heard the Abilene-Herington basketball game and that our representatives sold candy and Es- kimo pics. Then in the spring We took anoth- er stroll on deck. Perhaps the thing longest to be remembered was the night we all gathered in the lounge and saw the stunt that a few of the crew patomimed for us. All of our little gatherings served to break up the ordinary routine of the search. Perhaps the greatest stimulation we had on our search was the encouragement of our guardians of the deep, who at times gave us much aid. Under their careful guidance we are now ready to enter our Junior year. Our guar- dians for this year were: Miss Lorene Rey- nolds, Miss Mabel Pinson, Miss Leona Gris- wold, and Mr. Paul Collins.

Freshman Class History By MABIGL MIGLLOR RITE EMERALDS, showing only their green hues in the early autumn sunlight, were the one hundred forty-six Freshmen to arrive and begin their eager search for the bigger and better treasures of A. H. S. As the days grew shorter and then again longer. the little jewels began to display iridescent shades as was becoming to them. and also fitting to show their readiness to be advanced. Under the worthy sponsorship of Miss Neva IVeisgerber, Miss Margaret Scott, Miss Vera Stcininger and Mr. Roy Martin. we were carried safely to the Sophomore shore losing: o11ly a few of our members on the way. and finding a few who had strayed to replace them. At the first class meeting held early in the fall, Vaughn Ayers was elected presi- dent, Lucille Holmes, vice-president: Doro- thy Buchanan, secretary: XVayne Zook. treas- urer: and Peggy Morse and .lohn Gleissner, Student Council representatives. In brilliancy of minds, we tied first place on the Ilonor Roll with the Sophomores as our only competitors. Our brilliant hues were prominent in both girls' and boys' athletics and all other school activities. Our talented troupe furnished much valuable material in Debate. Oration, Declamation, Glee l'lub, girls' basketball and hockey. football: boys' basket- ball and track, showing that the future of the school is in capable hands. XVe also have participated in such clubs as are open to us. Late in the fall, we held our Freshman hike at Baer's Grove. Different means of trans- portation were provided by the classmen. Games were played and a car wreck was fea- tured for additional excitement. Although some were badly used during Freshman IVeek. we managed to survive the strain. l4lV9I'yfllIIlg' considered, both the up- perclassmen and the Freshmen enjoyed them- selves. Class night, a clever one-act play was pre- sented by members of the class having the most dramatic ability and was approved of and enjoyed by all present. FOURTH ROW!
