Freshmen, gaze and be impressed! We, who were last year mere Freshies, are now in the procession headed for Seniority No more does our distinguished Class of '30 worry over such minor things as interviews in Mr. Simons private sanctum or afternoon sessions in the famed hall, Detention , even a few spots of red on our grade cards cannot lower our spirit. The reason for all this is that we are so thrilled and bubbling over with excitement at becoming a part, of everything that is glorious and joy-giving at Hughes, that we never allow ourselves to be disheartened. Instead, we throw back our heads, put on smiles, and go happily, if haltingly, along with Caesar. Geometry propositions may seem endless, but, aware of our positions es Sophomores of Hughes, we go unflinchingly on. 'We are already looking forward to the day when we enter the portals of Hughes as Seniors, envied for our position, admired for our personalities, and respected for our knowledge. That will be a great day. Alas! These are but the hopes of the fantastic dreamer, now: but some day they will be realities. Much talent was displayed in the Sophomore production of The Nativity Play, presented to the school at Christmas time. Then there were the swim- ming meets in which our hero, Butch Phillips, brought glory to the class. We are proud of the number of boys who represented us in athletics and appre- ciate their spirit. That the class was not without literary ability is evident from the contributions to Old Hughes, and it was well represented in the personnel of the Band and Orchestra. .JANE OEHLER.'30.

N SEPTEMBER, 1927, the good fairies looked down on Hughes and beheld a sad spectacle. There were no Freshmen, nothing young and green to brighten the day. It was just grind, grind, grind. Hughes needed life and pep. The Seniors couldn't tease, the Juniors had nothing to strut about, and the poor Sophomores were forgotten. The fairy queen felt very sorry for Hughes: how could she go on without Freshmen? Finally it was decided that the fairies should make a Freshman class and that each fairy would endow this class with her greatest gift. The fairy queen came first. As she stepped forward there was a great hush. I give to the Class of '31, life and joy of being alive, she said. Next came Tinkle Bell, who gave them It, the thing which makes them such a vital part of the activities of Hughes. So each fairy in turn bestowed upon the Class of '31 her gift. Knowledge, individuality, school spirit, love of fun and work, all these they gave to the class. On the twelfth of September all Hughes was astir, for the fairies' gifts had arrived. Everywhere one could see Fi'eshmen running around,asking foolish questions, and bobbing up in unexpected places. And lo! Another thing came to Hughes - laughter. Who brought it? Why, the Freshmen, of course! Hughes is looking for great things from the Class of '31, And well she might, for fairies sent them. Watch the Freshmen! HEI EN lVIERRY,'31. One I1 undrvd lhree
