President Charles Detoy Vice President Lewis Lyon The Sophomores are more or less betwixt-and-betweeners. From them might be drawn qualities apparent in almost any class of Miss Gusweiller ' s group. Also quite in evidence are the flaming youth tendencies of the Juniors. At times even the rugged respectability of the Seniors may be seen. Among this group of chameleons are race drivers, politicians, musicians, orators, ice skaters, but never, oh never, students. A Sophomore is known for his outlook on life, so succinctly put by prize fighters as punchy. Above all, a Sophomore ' s powers of concentration are his greatest asset, for some have been known to gaze at a picture in Esquire for an indefinite length of time. 33

President Benjamin Earl Vice President Charles Markham Secretary-Treasurer Ogden Kellogg No doubt you have heard the biblical fable of the Prodigal Son. If you have, you will understand me v hen I say that this is a Junior to the letter. They are a gay devil-may-care crew, taking life as they find it and making the most of it, for they subscribe to the Epicurean doctrine — Live, laugh, and make merry for tomorrow you will be a Senior. They realize the full grave import of these words, and so they hurry to pleasure and revelry, leaving the cares of the world to others less experienced. Incidentally in the midst of their gaming, they take time to consistently whip the Seniors to a creamy froth in every event attempted this year (so far). 32

President Arthur Melin Vice President Richard Markham Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Box From the first faint glimmers of civilization, Freshmen have been oppressed by their elders. This year marked a radical departure from this time-worn custom, and the neophytes were allowed to flourish without the help of the kindly Seniors. The experi- ment met with remarkable results. Many immediately blossomed, while others spent most of the year developing their precocity. Dick Markham and Spud Melin became the undisputed wrestling champs of the high school. (Although their ethics were open to question, their results were undeniable); Wild Bill Denslow holds the bubble-gum manipulating championship, with never a challenge to his supremacy; Tom Box showed a creditable tendency toward the pure and simple life; while Bill Lingstrom ' s excellent health at the end of the year is a gleaming monument to Senior leniency. 34
