Sophomore Class ln the inter-class athletices, we won second place in basketball. and in base- ball we took first place defeating the mighty Seniors. 1111 ln mentioning athletics we do not wish to leave out the good work of the Sophomores in class basketball. Robert Doffiemyer and Ysmael Vasquez played exceptionally well, and this is one of the reasons why the class was undefeated. 1111 . Owing to the superior qualities of the Sophomores, two of our members won society parts in the school play, Skinner's Dress Suit . lidith llunt had the part of Mrs. McLaughlin and Wlinifred Nichols was the society matron. Mrs. Colby. The operetta also had two of our members in the cast. lidith Hunt was Mrs. McSpaddin and John Shorey was an lrish motor cop, Dan Flannigau. They all did their parts exceptionally well. ohn Shore was in the llovs' 'Duartet and san f at several different affairs. Y . 5, + +111 l-ast vear as Freshies we had as our class colors ffreen and white. This 1 h year we felt we were no longer green, therefore after nmch discussion, we selected the colors maroon and white, which we hope to carry through our re- maining years in the lixeter l'niou High School. XYe have also made another change in our class this year. XYe discarded our last year's motto Green but Growing . Although we have not yet selected a new motto, we hope to do so before we become upper classmen. 1111 liven though we had the reputation of being devilish Sophomores, as juniors we hope to sprout wings. XYe leave the duty of custodian of the incoming Class of '38 to the present Freshies.

Sophomore Class The opening of school found about ninety enthusiastic Sophomores eager to see that the Freshies got started on their high school journey successfully. They were on the look-out for any of us who might initiate them, but we foxed 'em and removed several pieces of their first day school clothes. They looked as if they had been picked too soon, and we were delighted with our work. The final test of our abilities was shown when we won the annual Brawl. Joyce Dot- son's and Harold Baty's capacity for pie gave the Sophomores a victory over Rupert's best efforts. Also we won the majority of the track events. iiii At the election of officers, we chose Robert Dofiiemyer, President of the class. Buddy Foster was the next in line as our Vice-President. Nadine Bur- nett was elected Secretary-Treasurerg Janelle Montgomery, Class Representativeg and Donald Dugger, Sergeant-at'Ar1ns. W e chose Miss Evadne Will as our Class Adviser again since she led us successfully through our Freshman year. 1111 This year we were very well represented in the Scholarship Society. The members were Anna Thorwaldson, Veda Richards, Dorothy Cheek, Nadine Bur- nett, Robert Dofflemyer, and Buddy Foster. VVe also feel proud because of the fact that Anna Thorwaldson was elected the secretary of the society. iiii The school's athletics were well supported both in the lightweights and heavyweights in football, basketball, and baseball by the Sophomore members. In football the lightweights were Carleton Foster, Buddy Foster, Donald VVeen1s, Thomas Dofflemyer, and Rex Uwdom, who all fought hard for the school and played well. Thomas Dofflemyer, in one game, broke his collar bone and was not able to play the whole season. The heavyweights in football were Marvin Yarnell, Donald Dugger, and Herbert Scott, who did their part in behalf of the Monarchs very well. iiii In basketball the lightweights were very well supported by Sophomores, the regulars being Carleton Foster and Donald Vifeems. The heavyweights were Donald Dugger and Howard Cody, who both played well.

Freshman Class The first day of school this year found 106 little Freshmen eager to go to work but just a bit backward in our attitude. The upper-classmen, however, treated us as though we were their equals, therefore, it did not take long for us to begin to feel as if we were really a part of the school. We did not know anything about high school when we started in, and there is probably much for us to learn about it yet, but we are learning fast, though we can still be distin- guished as Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers for the year: Robert Smith, President Charles Mclivers, Vice- President Virginia Awbrey, Secretary-'Ilreasurer ,joe Edwards, Class Representative Marguerite XVatson, Yell Leader Miss Ferguson, Class Adviser iiii As is usually the case, the Sophomores won the Brawl, but we are proud of the way the Freshies took part and showed their enthusiasm. iii! .Nt the first Student Body Party, the Freshman Class was well represented, but during the dance a number of the boys left unintentionally. lt is thought that the upper-classnien took them out for an airing. By the end of the first semester, the Freshman boys were well broken in, due to their frequent long walks home. iiii Our class took a great part in athletics, both the boys and the girls. The girls stood up fairly well for Freshmen in the inter-class games, and the boys were not a bit backward in going out for the various sports.
