rai President . John Carico Vice-President . Jane Whitaker Secretary and Treasurer . Ann McMichael Representative . Hazel Gianoli E ENTERED high school last fall, nineteen strong. Most of us came from Cloverdale Grammar School, but there were many from the rural schools around Cloverdale. We all kept in groups for protection and, although we were hazed a little at first, we had nothing to fear until the Freshman Reception came. Here we were the guests of the rest of the high school. Except for a slight touch of initiation, we had a good time and we liked it so well that when they gave a “Kid Ball” in our honor two weeks later, we came in great glee to enjoy another of their treats. We were now regular students and we enterd into our work with enthusiasm. In English, History, Algebra, French, Music, Manual Training and Com¬ mercial Work, we are well represented, and in all these classes we have some very bright students as well as some “dumb-bells.“ Jane Whitaker and Hazel Gianoli are Freshmen who are members of the Honor Society and several others lacked only one point of filling the require¬ ments. A few Freshmen tried out for basketball but Albert Foster was the only one that made the team. Robert Mazzini, Albert Foster and David Farreri got on the baseball team. Foster is catcher, Mazzini plays center field and Farreri left field. David Farreri and Bernard Lile went in for track. Farreri is a fast runner and Lile a high jumper. In girls ' basketball, Anita Sanford was the only Freshman that played on the team. In baseball the girls made a little better showing. Anita Sanford plays first base and Hazel Gianoli third. With such a start as this we can look the future squarely in the face and say that we have a right to expect to show you, next year, as brilliant and capable a Sophomore class as ever graced the halls of C. H. S. [ 24 ]

Osmon, McCray, McChesney, Porterfield, Simonson, Hiatt, McAbee McPhail, Hiatt, Mazzini, Hulbert, Cook, Domine, McPherson We Are Here To Win— (With apologies to Lowell) Into their studies The Sophomores run. Thinking and working — No time for fun. Into their homework They plunge like mad, Digging and delving, Each lassie and lad. On to the honor roll All their names go. Making the others Their white feathers show. Ever a-working. Blithesome and cheery. Still climbing upward. Never a-weary. We work in all weather. Doing our best. None of us failing At the time of a test. Full of ambition Naught can discourage. Building a character None can disparage. Ceaseless aspiring. Ceaseless content. We work for the good Of the schooVs betterment. On to the Junior Class We go with delight. Keeping the honor roll Ever in sight. —Forrest McAbee ’25. [ 23 ]

0 If (What Kipling might have said, if he had known us.) If you can be a Freshman, meek and gentle, When upperclassmen tease and pester you; If you can turn the other cheek when struck at And not strike back, as you were used to do; If you can let them ridicule and taunt you. Or make a hundred rules for you to mind, ril tell you then you ' ve passed initiation And you ' re a full-fledged member, you will find. If you have brains and nerve and concentration To follow through the maze of Algebra; If you can always tell the key and pitch it And sing so sweetly, do, ra, fa, sol, la; If you can tell the names of all the battles Murillo, Hover, Covey, Capps, Lile, Ferarri, Mazzini, Foster, Pelligrini, Carico Babcock, McMicheal, Sanford, Richards, Whitaker, Gianoli Winrott, Murray, Pelligrini 125 J
