Junior v vlass llist isionj ON September 17, I92S, the elass of W) enrolled m C. U. H. 8 , its objeet beinj; to show the rest of the school what pep meant and, incidentally, to obtain education. As a starter, they elected Herbert Bosch president, Janalee Watson vice-president, Willa Mae Irwin secretary-treasurer, and Grace Garrett class editor. The juniors have taken an active part in the daily work of the school as well as in the extra-curricular activities, and have contributed something to every project which has come up. For instance, three of the four varsity debaters, Johnnie Adam- son, Grace Garrett, and Marian Rick, were juniors. In the interclass essay contest, Grace Garrett and Lois Lloyd won second and third places, respectively, with their compositions, Music and Lindbergh. Janalee Watson, Jodie Lugo, Bill Tillman, Paul Tremaine, Louise Logan, and Ralph Bunje were leads in the annual operetta, Peggy and the Pirate, and Virginia Corbit and Louise Logan were characters in the associated student body play, The Rear Car. In the iield of athletics, the boys showed their loyalty to their school by turning out for each event. As a result of hard work and no mean ability, Robert Flynn, Herbert Bosch, Bill Tillman, Paul Tremaine, John Harrah, Herbert Andrews, and Jack Waldron made the varsity football team. Basketball lettermen were Paul Tre- maine, Bill Tillman, Herbert Andrews, and Earl Webster. Arthur Foster, cinder- path captain. Jack Waldron and Herbert Bosch placed in the Tri-County Track and Field Meet, which was held on Jantzen field, March 26. In baseball. Earl Webster, Herbert Bosch, and Bill Tillman won honors. For the purpose of raising funds to fill the junior coffers in preparation for the junior-senior dance, the class staged a Junior Play Nite on February 2 1 , which proved to be a great success. Grandma Pulls the String, a one-act comedy, was first on the program. Grandma ' s hints and insinuations to young Bill Thornton on the art of proposing, and Bill ' s discomfort and obvious anger kept the audience in spasms of laughter. Lois Lloyd, Grace Garrett, Ralph Bunje, Dorothy McKay, Willa Mae Irwin, and Alice Kathryn Irwin were the cast of characters. During the intervals between plays, a group of boys gave a clever and comical rendition of the Ice Cream song. The second play, A Mother ' s Influence, tended a little more towards the serious, and introduced a moral. The cast was composed of Grace Robbins, David Bailey, Ruth Barr, Ray Gough, Sam Allen, Jodie Lugo, and Marie Beers. On November 16, the class held a Junior Hop in the upper hall, and invited as their guests the Colton varsity football squad. As a climax to a successful and prosperous year, the annual junior-senior dance was held in the Lincoln auditorium. The work and ambitions of the juniors, the class of 30, may he summed up in their motto, Forever Forward. — Grace Garrett SO. Page Twenly-ono

I he OophomoPG v vlass THE dignified sophomores entered in September, 1928, to take the place of the green freshmen. They had gained a great deal of experience, and had little trouble in getting settled in their places. Miss Edna Battin was again class adviser. At an early date Eleanor Larsen was elected president; Ed Weiser, vice- president; and Pauline Hough, secretary. Their freshmen colors, green and white, were again chosen to show that they were not ashamed of their frosh experiences. As fall advanced, many sophomores were found taking an important part in football. Ray Gough played on the varsity, and McNair, Rojas, Turner, and Payne played on the reserves. On the championship Class C team were Captain Weiser, West, Crilly, Wear, Shamblin, Mathews, Coe, Logan, Gibbons, and Hansen. Weis- er was easily the most valuable man on the team. Crilly and West also played an important part in the success of the team. On January 25, the sophomore dance was held. This was the first social event of the class and it succeeded beyond expectations. At the beginning of the basketball season, the sophomores had more than their share of representatives on the court. Ray Gough played an important part on the team. Ed McNair and Wallace Payne were mainstays on the near-championship class B team. Captain Crilly, Shamblin, and West played their second year on the class C team. With the arrival of the interclass debates, the sophomores were prepared to take the championship. Patrick Gibbons, Katherine McKay, Ruth McGuire, Dorothy Tanner, Evelyn Mae Corgill, and Mary Louise Savage put up a stiff fight against the seniors and the juniors, and defeated them. But the freshmen brought panic to the sophomore ranks when the sophomore-freshman debate went to the freshmen in a close 2-1 decision. Kenneth Hodge and Ruth Maguire, class representatives of last year, again upheld the class honors in the essay contest. Although they did not place, they put up a good fight. Many members were in the orchestra and the glee club. Patrick Gibbons had a leading part in the operetta. Howard Creason and Arthur Hewitt were in the student body play. Eleanor Larsen was the pride of the school in her tennis ability. She went without a defeat through almost all the season. Irwin Logan also was on the tennis team. Girls who made the required points for a G. A. A. letter were Neeta Yates, Alma Heatley and Marian Miranda. When track season opened, the sophomore hopes were centered on Ed Weiser and Elmer Crunk, Class C stars of last year. Elmer Crunk placed in the League meet. Wallace Payne, new member from Missouri, was the only sophomore to take first in this event. The others who placed were Edward Pearson and Foster Hall. Consistent point winners for the class C team were Doble, Castleberr ' , West, Hansen, Burns and Crilly. Doble showed expert work as a sprinter, and Ed Weiser vaulted in the Southern California finals in the class C division. Sophomores on the varsity baseball team were Lester Hastings, Juan Rojas, Ed Weiser, Ray Gough, Vernon Wear, Frank Lopez, Wallace Payne and Ray Yates. • — Donald Mathews M. Pane Twenly-lliiep
