Freshman Class In September, 1931, the upper classmen were much surprised to see seventy-three students, as green as a well-kept lawn, come from Junior High and the country to take their long-awaited trip across the school yard to start a new world of studies and activities. Not alarmed by all the suggested pranks from the upper classmen, they found themselves at the all-school party where they were initiated by the use of electric shocks and the old reliable paddle. Two of the girls of the class were chosen on the basketball squad, the boys proved to be good athletes, as some of them became members of the varsity football squad and some were on the reserve basketball squad. Two boys received their letters in varsity football. At the Freshman-Sophomore banquet, the theme It Pays to Adver- tisen was successfully carried out and most of the class members attended. Conquering the battles of studies has been no easy task, but it has been successful as well as has been the major battle examinations. Many trials and tribulations have been met in the path as Freshmen, but there are many more happy memories of this first high school year to be carried into the future. Page Twenty-six

This second year of Sophomore history is the transitional span between the raw period of freshman bewilderment and general inferiority complex and the upper classman's complete grasp of his environment, his abilities, and necessary preparations for life. This year the class had the satisfaction of initiating the Freshmen at the High School Get-Acquainted Party. Needless to say, they all enjoyed doing it immensely. In October the class cooperated with the Freshmen in giving the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet, using the theme It Pays to Advertise. The members of the class took an active part in the girls' glee club, boys' and girls' basketball, and varsity and reserve football. Also two members were chosen as alternates for the debating team. For two weeks preceding Christmas vacation assembly devotions were in charge of the class and at the Christmas program the pageant Bethlehem was presented. The class also took charge of devotions in Ma . lllnder the leadership of their sponsor, Miss Jablonski, they have proved themselves to be excellent citizens of the school. The Sophomores are eager to return next year and to again give their loyal support to the colors of Zeeland High. Page T wcnly-right
