THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Spring is here and summer is coming, and with it, the increasing duties of a fast-ending school year. Not only the merry voices of Seniors and Juniors are heard, making the tasks lighter, but Sophomores too are mingled here and there, doing their cheerful part. Now let us walk around a bit, and get a closer view of things. As we pass through the kitchen and bakery we find sophomores serving and baking. Later on as we pass the business office we may see one of our number busy there. You have surely heard about our school song—by the way, I hear someone humming it over there. Well, it was a sophomore who arranged the music, and was chosen to play each contestant’s song in the school song contest. Look out, here comes the school truck around the corner, driven by a sophomore. There, he stopped right in front of the shop with his load of lumber. Here comes another member of our class to help unload. As we get near the door we see more workers inside, among whom are more sophomores. Yes, you were right when you expressed the sophomores’ individual aim as not only “Service”, but, “Living so that those who know us, but do not know Christ, will want to know Him because they know us.” Howard Finke ’29 Page twenty-seven

JUNIOR ACROSTIC A—number of years ago it was only to our parents that it looked as if we C—ould accomplish great things, have wonderful careers, make a success, A—nd be of renown in the world. But fortune smiled kindly on us and 1)—id something for which we are all thankful. She caused our paths from E—ast, West, North, and South to converge to this school which develops M—entally, Spiritually and Physically, and where, while working hard, —et a class of live wires like ourselves, manage to have lots of fun! 7v Page twenty-six J—UNIORS—Watch us win! We are now climbing the first rungs of the ladder U—pward; each one intending to advance until he reaches the top. We are N—ot hopeless. Already signs of budding genius are manifested I —n three girls who are always at the very top of the Honor Roll. O—thers of us intend to go on and up, each in his chosen profession. R—eal talent for art, music, expression and stenographic skill is S—hown by our Junior girls; while the boys excel in Math, and History. ()—ur talents are varied, each displaying his individual genius, each F—illing his own little niche. Needless to say, we are proud of one another. 1 is the best president a class ever had. 9 can play musical instruments and together could make quite an orchestra 2—plus thirty-five is the enrollment of our calls, and 7 days a week we’re loyal to our school! N—ow we must not stop here. We have only just told enough to rouse your I —nterest, haven’t we? In our class we have representatives of many lines. C—arpnters, mechanics, farmers and firemen,—striving to advance and E—ndeavoring with dauntless courage to reach a worthy goal. J —ust a few more words about ourselves. We have chosen the following ()—fficers: Donald Crow for President, and for Vice-president L —ittle Delta Hulse; with Blanche Pitts for our Secretary, and L— ouis Gilbert as Treasurer. Then we will mention last, but Y—et not least, Warren Halverson, who is our Sergeant at Arms F—ive more years and we will have finished college. Five more rungs O—f the Ladder will be beneath our feet—a good start for success in L —ife. May we be worthy of the pride of cur parents who always K—new we would “make good.” We will then be ready to enter into S—ervice for Him, whom we love and delight to serve. Louis B. Gilbert ’28

THE FRESHMAN CLASS Yes, we are freshmen, and like all freshmen, we are “green.” But you know green things always grow, and we are growing. Five of us are members of the Academy Band, half of the baking class consists of freshmen, and a good share of the girls that wash the morning dishes are of our number. One of our members, a boy, has succeeded in keeping at the head of the Honor Roll all year, having all A’s. You may be surprised some day to know us, not as green little “freshie” but as missionaries, doctors, nurses, stenographers, musicians, and college professors. We are on the basement floor now and we have three long flights of stairs yet to climb before we reach the top floor of the temple of knowledge. We feel a great awe for the Seniors because we know that they are so much farther advanced than we are and we feel quite insignificant while in their presence. But really I believe that they envy us a little, for we can be at W. W. A. for three more years. We are very proud of our class, for we expect the class of ’30 to be the largest and most promising class ever graduated from W. W. A. We are growing; just watch us! May Libby ’30 Page twenty-eight
