This marked the first time that the Sophomores and Juniors have held such a party. Both classes cooperated in making arrangements and in staging the party with the result that it was one of the most successful events of the school year. In connection with Homecoming, the sophomore class was given the responsibility of arranging and managing a social hour, which was held after the game. The class of 1940 has also had its individual and group successes. The class received a prize for selling the most homecoming tickets and another prize for having the highest percentage of budget tickets purchased. The girls also did their part by winning the fieldball tournament. All in all, this year has been one of many accomplishments and much improvement so far as the Sophomore class is concerned. 23

 he feline Night c$£alvk « nvfEOW,” was the plaintive sound that greeted Ju’ie as she entered the kitchen. It was Coal, a half-grown kitten, and the family pet. lie was so called because of his glossy black coat, with only a touch of white at the throat. Had he been equipped with a topper and cane, he would have been a p.rfect gentleman cat. At the moment, however, he was just a very dejected 1 uss. Julie had told him in no uncertain tones that he couldn’t go out that night, for she heard neighborhood complaints of back-fence serenades. “You must go out,” she said, and Coal’s heart rose. ‘“Hut only on the porch,” she added, and his heart went down to despair with a plop. There was no getting around it; she was determined. He sat down, curling his tail daintily, and thought. Then he got his idea. If he could push that box away from his own small door, cut in the larger one, he would he free. He pushed and puffed with all his strength, and freedom was his! He darted out and across to the garage. The gang would be furious. Maybe they had left without him. He was reassured by the sight of a dozen or so cats, fat and thin, young and old, dirty and clean, some sitting, others pacing about impatiently. “Where have you been?” they chorused, “We’ve waited for an hour.” “Oh, I had important business,” he said, letting it go at that. “Well, come on,” said Tabby, the crabbiest old cat of the lot. “We’ve got work to do, first we'll raid the garages; those mice are getting too smart for their own good. Then we’ll have our serenade on Bentley’s fence.” “I like to see old Bentley get up and throw a shoe out the window. He can’t hit us, but he surely tries hard enough,” said Coal chuckling. “Oh Coal,” said Bedelia, “you haven’t met my Cousin Jean from New York.” “I’ve heard so much about you, Mr. Coal,” she said softly. “I’ve heard of you too,” said Coal, “hut don’t call me Mr., just Coal.” He strutted elegantly along. Jean was the prettiest girl-cat he’d ever seen. She had a beautiful gray coat, and the largest, prettiest eyes. It was love at first sight. i , ■ ' That night was one of excitement for him. He caught a mouse and gave it to Jean because she didn’t catch one. Then of course they had then- ringing, and the inevitable shoe came through the window. The biggest event of the whole evening was when Jean promised to keep company with him. When Coal went home that morning, he was walking on air with hap- piness and seif-satisfaction. He slipped in, put the box in place, and lay down to dream of his newly-acquired girl-friend. When Julie woke him to eat break- fast the next morning, she said to herself, “Perhaps I should have let him out last night.” Coal yawned sleepily and thought, “What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.” —MAXINE SHERN English 1A (The above short story was chosen from several pieces of creative writing (lone by members of the freshman English class as extra credit projects.) 24
