Secretary-Florence janaskie Treasurer-Olive Dellecker Historian--Roy Kershner Faculty Advisor--lVIr. S. H. Brown History Our young and handsome sheik Xvarreu Good conducts our regular class meetings every second Tuesday of each month. At every gathering the village flirt Helen G. Brunner, records the minutes. The meetings are usually delayed because our dear secretary is always about ten minutes late. Olive M. Dellecker, a demure little girl, takes charge of the financial troubles of our class but to our dismay it was reported one meeting that she lost her treasurer's book. Every body is behind in dues now. The originality of our class is so extraordinary that it took exactly seven meetings to decide upon when's and where's of our lrlallowelen party. At all our meetings some are radic- ally opposed to the opinions of others. At one of our special class meetings for the purpose of getting class rings or pins, there was a great disturbance, but we elected a committee to look after the affair. The com- mittee broke up and the affair was dropped. Recently we had another special meeting about our pictures. Some of the class moved on the first picture and as the arrangement was also poor we decided to have them taken again. Some of the class were dissatisfied he- cause they thought they looked too pretty on the First picture to risk posing a second time, but were finally won over. You must agree that this sophomore class of ours shows decided orginality in its well-regulated meetings. Vile sneaked a look into our book And quickly looked away. XVe saw our teacher glare at usg I But tell me, tell me, speak again, They whispered tones renewing, XYhat makes the Sophomores work today, VVhat are they really doing? II Alas! alackl it is so sad You'd never understand. The Sophs are really studying, Now don't that beat the band? And now there came the Sophomore class And the noise grew wondrous loud. The other classes all agreed We were a boisterous crowd. The noise was here, The noise was there, The noise was all around: VVe giggled, clattered, laughed and howled- It was a if sound l l BUT The teacher comes into the room, But we nor spake nor stirredg 'Wo saw her coming far too soon, Of course no sound she heard. CWith apologies to Coleridgel See the Editor-- We all wonder why-- Helen Brunner called the squirrel at crystal cave Jimmie. Ralph Snyder always has candy in his pockets. John Fessler is so popular with the girls. XVarren Good is so bashful CU Paul Gruber is always taking vocal lessons. Dot Gable wants to have her hair bobbed. Dorothea I-linsey feels so musical when school is over. Marion VVix is always excused from classes. Edward Meglathery tries to pass off as such a quiet We sat there in dismay. chap. Page 19

One bright sunny morning fifty- two rosy cheeked boys and girls rushed into the Fresh- man classroom. Due to the large number, some of them were asked to leave their friends and so amid tears and angry protests were sent to Miss Ahrens' room where they soon became even more dignified than their junior and Senior associates. We finally lost some of our playfulness and decided to settle down to real hard study and behave as Freshmen should. We succeeded fairly well and upon hearing that we now are the best behaved class we naturally got swelled heads . After a few weeks of strenuous work, we were sorry to lose Emma Gerhart, Floyd Filbert and Kathryn Kiss- inger. Later Dorothy Smith and Ruth Schawambach left our happy group and but a few weeks ago Florence Brown and john Williams, the joy of the class, decided to do other work. One morning as we arrived at school, we were sur- prised to see in our group a strange face. It was the face of a girl and a rather good looking one too. Later we learned her name was Marguerite Golden. Don't think because her name is gold-en, she is as good as gold, because she is just as bad as the rest of us. In October, we had a class meeting and at this meeting the oliicers for the year were elected. President-Alfred Small Vice-President-Weller Miller Secretary-Edith Loder Ass. Secretary-Ella McCauley Treasurer-Karl Tyson Class Historian-Ella McCauley At our second class meeting our treasurer resigned and the office was immediately filled by Regina Cronan. Now that we are an organized class of the school, the Sophomores decided to make us feel some of the real spirit of entering High School. We were asked to gather in the gymnasium and were required to go through various initiation stunts. In order that our class might not become too digni- fied and lose all its spirit of youth and fun, we decided to have a doggy roast at Bernharts Dam. The night on which it was to be held proved to be very cold and stormy, so the few that went remained at Florence Brown's home where they devoured all the eats. When St. Valentine's Day drew near we decided to have a party. We had as our guests four of our teachers and none of them dares to say that we are not the jolliest bunch that ever entered VVest Reading High School. Snatches from the President's Diary Jan. 16-A banner day for the Freshmen 9 A. ! ! l Clifford Schaeffer escaped from school without a single scolding. Jan. 18--I notice Fern Kerst seems pale. The loss of her vanity case has visibly affected her. Jan. 21-Olive Dimler actually stopped chewing gum long enough this afternoon to ask a question. jan. 25-They say 9 B. is noted for its picturesque effects. For colorful examples see Mildred Kamm or Gertrude Jacobs. jan. 28-Mr. Yeich told one of the Freshmen that when he hears Bill Wilhelm laugh he thinks ofthe mules they had in the army. Feb. l-Terrible excitement over in 9 B. Miriam Boone made her first attempt to recite in science. Feb. 5-We didn't get very far in oral composition today. Fats Hassler didn't get any further than turkey. Fats would have liked to stay there too. Feb. 9-Most of the Freshmen were in tears today because when they heard Bert Miller laugh it brought back memories of the little donkeys that used to run around back on the farm. Page 21
