Sophomore Activities After two years aplprentiicesihip, as sevenlth amd eighith graders, a group of students later to be the class Of '38, entered upon their role in high school by being called the usual name Greenhorns . The firsit timie this class wlas brought into the limelight was when a comedy en- titled Sauce for the Goslings was presented in assembly, under the direction of Miss Louise Thompson and Miss Ruith Ellen Morrison. The play was a success and made the rest of the high school students feel our ypresence. At thlis time the sponsors were Miss Morrison, Miss Thompson, and Mr. Darnall. Next, the freshman girls' basketball team became quite prominent. With Beatrice Call as captain, our team made great progress, and it was our delight when at last we were victors among the high school girls. Our next activity was to have a party in the gym where a large crowd attended and enjoyed the fun. Then occurred a happening which was sad to us, because a classmate, Clarabellie Rowton, was taken from us. She was a good student and liked by all. The next roll on which we studied, was sophomores und-er the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Lytle, Mrs. Donna Mae Imhoff, and iMr. Ralph Rea. We reminded the high school of the historical background arournd Rocky Ford, by presenting in assembly a play entitled, A Day in Bent's Fort. The play was written and coached by Miss Lytle, and costumed by Mrs. Imhoff, while Mr. Rea had charge of musical parts, To present t-he play, everyone in the class had a part. Then as has been custom, we expressed our friendly feeling for the Japanese of Rocky Ford by once again putting on a Japanese Dinner which proved to be most successful. Several Japanese men, appreciating the friendly spirit shown by the dinner, generously gave a total of S57 to ibe used by the class for Rocky Ford High School. Later the class presented the school with a platform for the grand piano and curtains for the windows in the auditorium. After working hard on the dinner, we celebrated by having an informal dance and skating party at the exposition building. These have been just the first roles we have played but as Archimedes saidi, Give us a place to stand and we will move the world.

LCDWEIQ CLASSES It's not proclaimed with trumpet loud, Nor is it raised above the clouds, But just among ourselves, my friends, We find it's dear. It never ends. But when the higher classes come to name. We reached the starting of our fame. That goal seems far above the skies, Yet shines in splendor near our eyes. And what we called false dreams before Have come to truth beside our door. Now may we ever faithful be To that secret pledge of humanity.
