Sponsor HE Hope of the Nation have become The XYise Fools l Although it took a year to prepare us for our present state of sophistication, we feel that it has been well worth our time. The fact that we are wise is proved by a look at the honor roll. Our attendance record is likewise exceptionally good. The sophomores are becoming more and more important in the life of XN'ashburn High School. Several were in the dramatic club plays and our boys have taken an active part in both football and basketball. Wie performed our duty to the freshmen by initiating them into XYash- burn High School on October the eighteenth, and although we treated them somewhat badly, they took it good naturedly. NVe are anticipating with great pleasure our next year at XYashburn when we shall be juniors, and we are very grateful to our sponsor, Mr. Stewart. for the careful guidance he has given the sophomore class dur- ing the year of 1929-SO. 19

Sponsor Miss Hall ....... Sponsor OR the past two years our class has been looking forward to the time when we would become juniors. XN'e were successfully car- ried through the first semester by our class president, Richard Mischke, who surrendered his obligations to Stewart Paul, our competent guide through the second semester. The class gave one party at the school-building which was followed by a line party at the Grand theatre. After this one bit of self-indul- geuce, we gave our full time and effort to preparations for the main social event of the year. The urgent request of the chairman of our fin- ance committee was Hluniors, we need money. The junior-senior ban- quet was held Friday evening, April 25, at the Country Club. The dec- orations were elaborately carried out in a Dutch scheme with tulips and windmills. The juniors this year have been well represented in athletics and in dramatic work. Many names of our class have appeared on the honor roll and the perfect attendance roll. Wie are now looking forward to fall, and the title of worthy seniors. 18 W, ...,...,,,.,,,.,,.. . .....-f-.n-...,..,..-- ,i if g Wg... cas, Q.. -.,.f.,ifm.sf. 1

Sponsor Miss Steele ...... Sponsor T the beginning of the year, we stood on the top of the hill, and before us, like a great unexplored panorama. was high school life. .Xll during the grades we had been climbing the hill, anxious to see what was over the top. During the first semester Roy Horton conducted us on our tour. To our left. in what seemed to bc the largest of valleys, we discovered un- familiar studies such as Latin. algebra. and science. Vvhile we were wan- dering' through the valley of studies. our attention had been drawn to a smaller but sunnier valley to our right. We found that it contained social events which had nothing to do with studying. It was here the all school party took place in September. The sophomores entertained us here in October. In return for their kindness we furnished them an evening' of pleasure. During the second semester Margaret XYheeler led us in our discoveries. Under her guidance places were investigated more fully. We have three more years in which to complete our tour, and we all hope we shall enjoy our future explorations as much as we have the past. 20
