QXLQS Q Q By Betty Belle Barney and in June Whalen Once in the deep, dark past of 1932 an effervescent bunch of ambitious youngsters with a strong desire for efficacy discovered Col- lege View High School CWere writing this article with many thanks to Websterj with varied talents ranging from excellent athletes to sonorous singers. QAre you still with us'?J From the very beginning we knew that James Stransky, Dale Nannen and Richard Marrow had the gurnption in them to become the athletes they are today, If you were to ask Stransky what he thinks of being on the foot- ball, basketball and track teams, you would probably be honored with a slight smirk, a shrug of shoulders, and silenceg Nannen would blush from the tops of ears to the tips of his toesg guess how we know? Marrow would laugh embarrassedly and mutter a few inaudible words. Neverthe-less, the school as a whole is proud of them and we're glad they're in the Sophomore- class. And do you know a dark-haired sophisticated young lady in our midst who warbled herself to the top and is holding her ground by assisting with the publication of the school paper and has a help- ful finger in every important pie. Surely you can guess, It's Betty Knowles. And now ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce the 1935 Health Champion of Lan- caster County - Miss Winona Francke. A sweet, blonde lass Of the sophomore class With manners so nice You look at her twice. A fellow not especially out- standing in any certain field but with audacity and vivacity is Jim Popeye Vorhies, whose freckled face and smeary smile pops up in every ac5vity. THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 A sturdy, stable, steady girl, whom we all depend upon, Pauline Watkins, who sews the missing buttons back on and has putty to fill eve-ry chink. Probably the busiest girl in the class is June Whalen, red headed president. Especially active is she on the Purple and Gold, the Girl Reserve Cabine-t and in G. A. A. Nevertheless, June can al- ways crowd a wee bit more work into a little less time. As a leader in social activities, Betty Belle Barney ranks top. She frequently writes for the Purple and Gold and is very active in G. A. A. Betty Belle is an out- standing student, and an honor 1 H l Elma Buvlmunaln roll member, She does fine work in music and dramatics. -iwii, The Sophomores are a bunch who recognize their faults and strive to better them. For inst- ance, in our Freshman year, after our Algebra Cc2a2-b22abJ grades had been brought to light, we were in the depths of despair, ow- ing to their sudden deflation. Thereupon Mr, Human sprang to his feet and loudly proclaimed Brethren and sistern, we are now in the throes of a great revival meeting for the uplifting of Al- gebra grade-s. And, dear readers, such Hallelujah's and Amens you have never heard, even in great Evangelistic meetings. Ed- itor's note: The Algebra grades came up! On a certain drab day in De- cember, the C. V. H, S, Library rang with shouts of joy and good cheer: What ho! Methinks 'twas a class party. Hilarious games were played and an Amateur fex- tremely suchj Program was pre- 23 sented, The public voted William Walker, hoofer, as prize winner. i-l,,....?

24 THE VIEWPOINT-1935-36 And toils in his fields from morn 'til night., No king could a worthier service yield, For even the kind is served by the field. Ruth Sears Hands I catch a glimpse of polished nails, Of powdered skin and slim Perfumed hands of one Whose Walk of life is easy- Of one whose every nod is catered to, And yet who knows much dis- content A lady playing bridge. And walking thru the streets I see The hands of men who dig and delve- The hands which till the ground- Their hands are Weary, and Worn, and old, Their nails discolored, broken, Ye-t happy the man who lives For the soil from which he sprang -to which returneth. At home in peace I rest Those hands which caress My weary head, are square, de- pendable, Yet tender and soft, at once, The nails from polishg My mother hands.

Take all my earthly lot, One thing alone would I withhold, My friends-O take them not. Leave my friends and I will be Not destitute of worth, For friends will ever be to me The dearest things on earth. Rose Huffer History Class In History Class I'm very dumb I simply cannot think, And when the teacher calls on me My heart, it seems to sink, The other day she called on me, I didn't know what to sayg The fire bell whistled long and loud, And I was saved that day.
