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.

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.

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.

THE VIEWPOINT-l 935-36 25 The Ninth Grade . By Norma Christensen Three outstanding events in one's early life are when he is born, when he enters kindergar- ten and then when he enters jun- ior high. The date of birth is re- quiied for so many records that it is rarely forgotten even among us ninth graders, Some people took casual notice of us as we en- tered tlie kindergarten in 1927 in the College View Schools nineteen strong, sixteen have gone all the way through the C. V. public schools. Forty--five entered the seventh grade at the High School building in 1933 and were noticed as the youngest! We learned about or- ganizing in the home room or- ganizations and parliamentary drill until we could arise to point of order, In the eighth grade we had as our president, a sturdy leader, in Bob Morey, The keeper of our secrets and much business pro- ceedings was Naomi Nye. Ninth grade officrs were pres- ident, Neil Munson and secretary, Natalie I-Iadden, As a ninth grade we took our places in the larger life of the high school. Thirteen girls joined the G. A, A. and, as a group with ability must be reckoned with in every activity, gained recognition in the basketball tournament as the freshman team was second only to the winning senior team. In track events, Helen Gravatt was tirst with a broad jump of 11 feet, 9 inches, in the 50 yard dash with a time of 6.7 seconds, standing TOP ROW lLeft to rightl - -Wright, Vfixson, Titus, Thomas, Boas, Shregvo, Richard- son, Roemich V.

Mary Gatenby can throw a playground ball for a distance of nearly 150 feet. The baseball team made a commendable show- ing and the enthusiasm of the group is appreciated. The boys have done equally as well, In the sports, Bob Morey seems to be the outstanding ath- lete of the ninth grade. Bob got his football letter, and he received a reserve letter in basketball as a guard as well as a first string letter on the track team, Leland Marrow got his reserve letter in football, as a back and as student manager. Cloyd Richardson re- ceived a reserve football letter as a tackle. Stanley Roemich re- ceived a reserve football letter and was student manager. Emmett Schoenthal received a reserve let- ter in football as a back. Richard Shreeve received his re-serve foot-- ball letter an as an end and a re- serve letter in basketball as a for- ward, Charles Severin made a re- serve letter in track, carrying on the old Severin tradition of track and especially the mile. We have six of our group who ranked very we-ll as students. Norma Christensen, from kinder- garten days, has been near the top of the list. Pauline Detmer, al- though out some last year, has made commendable progress. Ber- nard Dresselhaus is always at the top of the list while Darline Grav- es, a newcomer from Raymond, is Sl10YVll1g' us more than several good grade slips, Kathryn Keller has rather consistently been near the top. Janice Marshall is an- other one with whom we have to reckon. March third the ninth grade gave a state day program under the supervision of Mrs. Rider. At the present time we are looking forward to high school days with hopeful hearts and un- daunted spirits. We feel that we have made a good start in the way of activities and we-'re certainly going to keep up the good work, In conclusion we sincerely thank Miss Scott for the intere-st she has taken in our efforts by en- couraging us to be ambitious Hazel Scott
