THE SOPHOMORE CLASS HE grown up freshmen of Corona High started the school year of 1931 minus a few of the old classmates but plus a number of new ones. We, as sopohomores impressed our new dignity upon the minds of the other classes by entering into many school activities. The girls did fine in sports, winning the championship in basketball and hockey. The girls on the winning basketball squad were: Captain Rowena Robles, Verda Morrell, Sylvia Perrin, Mary Bender, Juanita Shadle, Frances Chambers, Emogene Morrow and Margaret Vaughn. Juanita Shadle was captain of the victorious hockey team. Ruth Brockman made the school hockey team. The boys were not to be outshone. Nevitt Rossiter, William Chambers, Raymond Chambers and George Becerra were on the school Fleaweight basketball team. Forest Black was a member of the Lightweight team and Frank Ortiz was one of the Heavyweight squad. The Scholarship society numbers among its members, several sophomores. 1 hey are . vValter Beck, Ruth Glass, Eileene Gregory, Frances Henneuse, Barbara Hallgren, Marjorie Hicks, Arvilla Krick, Joseph Landon and Emogene Morrow.

FRESHMAN CLASS UR present freshman class is the largest that has ever entered the portals of Corona High School. There are a great many possi- bilities in its members which have already been brought to light. This class had prepared an immensely clever negro stunt for Rally Night, but owing to the untimely lighting of the annual bonfire, was unable to give it. The chorus of the Lemonville Op- eretta showed a predominance of freshmen girls. Wilma Rose Lambeth and Billie Louise McDonald had parts in the Girls’ League Hi Jinks. In athletics we are gaining a prominent position. The fleaweight football teams consisted chiefly of freshmen boys. In athletic circles the girls have also gained recognition as willing workers. The captains of the various class teams are as follows: hockey — Wilma Lambeth; basketball — Ruby Smith; volleyball — Irene Pate. The Pep Cub, a girls’ organization whose purpose is to organize cheering sections at the games, numbered among its ranks many freshmen girls. Another phase of freshmen activity is the debating squad, which consisted of two girls, Winniefae McKown and Ruth Ely; and two boys, Allen Lannom and Vincent Shank. Vincent Shank, a class member, is our successful school yell leader. Very often freshmen are so overawed with the newness of high school that few are elected to the Scholarship Society. With the freshmen of 1931, a different story can be told. Because of outstanding scholastic ability, Paul Ganahl, Max Mandell and Jean Smyth were elected to membership in this club. The class officers are : Vincent Shank .... President Ruby Smith .... Vice-President Marion Stutsman . Secretary and Treasurer — Harriett Ranney. twenty-one
