EL DORADO iupbnmnre Glass Ztaisturp N August 18, 1928, thirty-four individuals entered the High School building as Freshmen. At first, most of us, being complete strangers, were rather timid. After several weeks of school, however, we became better acquainted with the other classes. The Sophomores took great pleasure in initiating us. Of course, we took it very good-naturedly, and even if some were the least bit angry about it. we did not pretend to be, because we did not care to be called Cowards.', Soon the name of nFreshie died down, and we became more interested in our studies. As the weeks wore on, we began to realize that we must secure some money to pay forthe year book. It was arranged that each individual pay twenty cents a week class dues. The year wore on so rapidly that vacation time was before us before we had time to fully realize it. Upon entering dear old East Lampeter High School in the beginning of our Sophomore year, we were much surprised to find that many of our classmates had dropped out. Although the class did decrease in number, there remained a class of twenty- seven pupils, who were eager to acquire more knowledge. Now that we were Sophomores, we had the privilege of initiating the Freshmen. We made them do many unreasonable things, such as: wearing baby pinsg entering the back door, and singing a very crude song. They all proved to be good sports, for they took it very good-naturedly. A-fter several weeks of school, we elected class officers-namely: President. Harry Eberlyg Vice-President, Sara Mowerg Secretary, Martha A. Wenger, and Treasurer, Dorothy M. Rice. Some months later, we had a meeting in Mr. Breidenstine's room. lt was decided that we join the Audubon Club. The officers elected to take charge were, namely: President, Richard Lentzg Secretary, Dorothy Riceg and Treasurer, Hilda Mower. Now that we belonged to the Audubon Club, it was agreed that we subscribe for the Nature Magazine. A trip to the mountains was decided upon. The idea of the trip was to study the habits of birds, and to learn the different types. - On the 20th of September, we had a 4'Doggie Roast at Denlinger's quarry. As the weather conditions were very favorable, a large crowd assembled. The evening was spent in canoeing, eating, and the playing of games. On the 15th of March, 4'The Lincoln University Dramatic Club presented a play entitled, 4'The Monkeyis Paw, under the auspices of the Sophomore class. We were very gratified to find that over three hundred people assembled. The funds of the class were low, but after the play, they were again greatly increased. T wenty-eight
