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.

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.

ACTIVITIES-What We Do Again our organizations can boast of a very busy year. One new activity, the junior Play, was added to our already extensive list. Also two new girl's sports, quoi-tennis and badmin- ton, were introduced this year. The new student body government provides for the unification of all school activities. lVe anticipate a more evenly distributed participa- tion in extra curricular activities with the adop- tion of this plan next year.
