On the ,lg tin-1-wr I ' X I Q SOPHOMORE CLASS first day of school Ca long time agol we were all rushing about asking everybody where the classrooms were, what the bells meant, and what happened next. It was a weird sort of a waking dream, but things gradually took on a solid look and, quite suddenly, we realized that we felt quite at home. Our first officers were Jack Crandall, president, June Nelson, vice- presidentg and Parker Hazen, secretary-treasurer. Under their leadership during the year we sold hamburgers at the fair, and by hard work and coop- eration made twenty dollars profit. The same willing spirit made our class the winner of the inter-class contest in the sale of basketball tickets. We won again in the inter-class dramatics contest. In this event our entry was 'Mrs. Hull's Club Paper,' a comedy which made a real hit with the audience. Basketball also provided an opportunity for our members to show their abilities, and two of them, Jack Crandall and Russell Doolittle, won places on the teams. So many of us were interested in music that Mr. Von Holwede helped us to form our duct, from dance given George own orchestra. Thus the dance we held was strictly a class pro- dancers to music. Our orchestra also furnished the music for a by the Sophomores at which we were guests. Hawkins was elected president for our Sophomore yearg the other officers were Russell Doolittle, vice-president, Charles Hawkins, secretary, and Vileta Baethke, treasurer. The balloting for these officials proved very exciting because of a series of six ties that occured during the vot- ing. At the 1935 fair we sold candy, popcorn balls,and taffy apples so BUO- cessfully that we brought a tidy sum to our treasury. Later in the year some of this money went for a potluck supper and dance to which the fresh- men were invited. In return they invited us to a very interesting 'Betty and Bob' party on St. Patriok's Day. Our social affairs during the past year began with a picnic for the girls at Miss Roberts' home. During the first week of the spring semester we gave a birthday surprise party to Mr. and Mrs. Riechers, at which we had a potluck supper and dancing. 20

613 .3 I FRESHN N PT6Bid6Dt ............... Roger Brogan V109-President .. . .. Charles Hostettsr 3B0I8t8IY ............... Arlene Krahn TTSGBUIBT .......... LUOl11e Thurlwell Eighty-eight timid Freshmen were enrolled when school opened last Fall. The first time we were noticed at all was on the day of initiation by the JUDi0rS. They thought we should be very honored to have so much attention paid to us but we felt differently about it. We lived through the dreaded 3 day, however, and the upper claesmen told us we had received far better treatment than they had. Socially our class was unusually active.Weekly Tuesday afternoon dances held in the band room during the early fall were well attended and did much to improve our knowledge of dancing and the other social graces. The social highlight of our year was the 'Betty and Bob' party we gave on St. Patricks' Day. The Sophomores and teachers were our guests and every- one was presented with a green Bob or white Betty favor made from woclty the girls of the class. Cookies and punch were served and Mr. Ohilders directed a series of highly entertaining games. Our class has been well represented in the extra-curricular activities of the school. The Freshmen boys' basketball team have proved themselves to be promising material for future Sequoit teams as shown by their work in the Inter-class Basketball tournament. Several of the boys have succeeded in securing places on the first and second squads of basketball and base- ball. Track and boxing have also brought to light the athletic ability of the Freshmen boys, Entries in the Golden Gloves Boxing' Tournament held this spring were: Roger Brcgan, Donald Sherwood, Henry Qusdenfeld, Thomas Manning, Leo Kelsler, Edward Smith, Arnold Weber, Charles Rcthers, Richard Davilp Robert Story, Fred Zilke, Harold Vandenberg, Russel Homan, and Ted Toll. The outstanding sportsman of the year are: Jack Effinger, Bob Burke, and Robert Strang, although having served on the second team in basketball, Jack Efflnger was one of six boys who received their minor letters for work on the second basketball squad. Even the cheer leading section was not lacking Freshmen for Mildred Horan and Edwin Eggleston aided in keeping the spirit high at the basketball games. The girls have also taken as active part in sports such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, and archery. Those who were especially interested in the activities were: Carolyn Phillips, Caryl Nielsen, Mildred Horan, Olarloe Minto, Elizabeth Tenzinger, Joan Jensen, Lucille Thurlwell, Janice Kapple, Florence Verkest, Veneita Philippi, Phyllis Luedtke, Elizabeth Erickson, Jean Brett, Phyllis Hughes, and Lorraine Laursen. Joan Jensen received a basketball award from G. A. A. for playing on the winning team ln the bas- ketball tournament between squads in the girls physical training classes. Besides being members of various clubs, our class is represented in the m slcal organizations, namely the orchestra, jazz band, glee club, and chorus. To the student council we sent Ruth Pierstcrff for the girls and Robert Strang for the boys. These two served on important committees, one being the group to plan the matinee dances. In the Inter-class Play Tournament, Robert Strang, Jean Brett, Frances Beimer, anger Brcgan, and Edwin Eggleston showed the school that the Fresh- men as well as the other classes have dramatic talent. Roger Brogan was se- lected to take the part of the Count of Tierra Nueva in the play 'The Birth- day of the Infants' which was entered in the District Play Tournament at Palatine. 22
