They compelled the beginners to attend classes in burlap dresses just before the real initiation took place. Did they look cute! The sophomores will remember their Hollowe'en party as well as their unique entertainment given before the Student Body. This was in the form of a radio' program, including morning exercises, helpful hints to housewives, skits, and music. The class of '35 also assisted the juniors in presenting their play by selling tickets and ushering. They have also been active in all Student Body affairs. Three sophomores were on the Executive Board. which is quite exceptional for a lower class. The girls' inter-class volleyball championship was won by the sophomore girls. They tied for first place in hockey and came in second in basketball. The class of '35 led the way in scholarship, having more students in the Honor Society than any other class. It is also interesting to note that all of the Honor Society officers for the second semester were sophomores. Certainly we have made a good record this year, with success in class pro- jects ancl in athletics, cooperation with the rest of the Student Body and other classes, and superior scholarship: Wfith this behind us we will probably accomp- lish even more next year.

XVe gave our class assembly the Friday before Thanksgiving and held a successful party at Rag Gulch, with every junior in attendance. Only Me, 'the first junior class play ever given in McFarland, was pre- sented on March 31. It was regarded as one of the best local plays. After the play the class finished a large evening at the chow-mein restaurant in Delano. To climax a very successful year we endeavored to give the seniors a memor- able junior-senior banquet. Our boys made up a large part of the athletic teams. The girls won the basket-ball championship: they were second in volley ball. Not only in athletics do our members exceed. The debate squad, the Cougar Cry, and the Annual Staff draw heavily on junior class talent. After such a successful year as juniors we are looking forward to making our senior year something really outstanding. NI. V. -Ni.-,S-1 -17-

V irginia VVirt In the year just closed the freshman class has made a record of which it is proud and which it hopes to maintain in the coming years. To start things ot? we took the initiation like good sports, even if we did have most of our faces smeared with molasses. The gunny sacks were scratchy and dirty, but we managed to have a good time. The class has had some very successful parties, the most outstanding of these being the picnic at Rag Gulch. The freshman class is well supplied with athletes. Several of the boys were on the Varsity football team, including John Roberts, Claude Phillips, Paul lVirt, Maurice Evert, and Dennis lK7eave1'. Many freshman boys are also promi- nent on the basketball, baseball, and track teams. On Hick Day the freshmen won three of the five prizes given for the most novel costumes. The class was also very successful in its part of the carnival. It took in more money at its booths than did any other class. On the whole the class of '36 has been one of the peppiest in the school.
