Sophomore Class FTER ONE YEAR on tl1e open range the sophomore class of '33 picked up their lariats, donned their chaps, mounted their ponies, and started out on another ride across the open prairies, under the supervis- ion of Miss Neva NVeisgerber. One hundred thirty-seven cowboys started out on this ride. Seine were thrown from their horses, some found the ride too strenuous and were unable to continue on their journey. Occasionally some stray cowboy was picked up and made a lllilllllllkl' of the band. For head overseer or president, the rough-riding rangers picked John Dean Bakerg his assistant or vice-president was Dor- othy Ruchanang secretary was Lois Coulsong treasurer, Mary Jane liucierg Student Council representatives, Lu- cile Holmes and lVayne Zook. The Sophomores again tied for first place on the Hon- or Roll with the junior class as their only competitors. They were prominent in both girls' and boys' athletics and all other school activities. Since they were accustomed to singing on the range as they worked, they furnished much valuable material for the boys' and girls' glee club.

t Junior Class HE JUNIOR division of the herd which roams the halls of A. H. S., are next in line for graduation, and we believe that they are worthy of the honors for which they have strived and which have been bestowed upon them. The juniors are proud to display both their scholastic and athletic ratings. The third year class began the year with approximate- ly one hundred and twenty students, and we regret that a few wayward ones have since strayed from our herd, The officers chosen for this year were as follows: President, Margaret W'hitel1airg vice-president, Alfred Makinsg secretary, Hazel Weberg treasurer, Herbert Meuli. Ruth Hurd and Donald ,Dieter were the represen- tatives to the Student Council. The sponsors were: Miss- es Lorene Reynolds, Leona Griswold, Mabel Pinson, and Mr. Paul Collins. The pattern which was decided upon for the class rings was a cowboy crest mounted on a niodernistic background of white gold. On November 10, 1932, the annual class play, which was entitled, Her Friend, the King, was presented un- der the direction of Miss Esther Christmore. The fol- lowing composed the cast: Bruce Nemeckek as Georges, ex-King of Constantia-Feliz, Francis Brown, a trades- mang Don Duckwall, secretary to Georgesg Jack Nelson Count Churakg Ruth Hurd as Princess Lydia, daugh- ter of Georges, Opal Hoffman, her governessg Stelouise Hockensmith, a wealthy American widowg Donald Dieter as Prince Otto, Robert Froelich, a butler, Francis Kauff- man and Agnes Ayers, as maids, A number of junior boys were prominent in football, basketball, and in spring sports, the juniors were well represented in debate and also sent a contestant to Her- ington to the C. K. Ii. Declamation contest. Members of the class aided in selling candy, hot dogs, and refresh- ments at the Ellsworth football game and the Herington basketball game. One of the greatest activities of the year was the re- ception given by the juniors in honor of the seniors in the ballroom of the Hotel Sunflower on May 12. Having thoroughly enjoyed the third year of confine- ment within this corral of learning, as the summer months again draw to a close, the third year students of 1932-33 are looking forward to the final roundup in the fall, v ROW 1 - Hurd, Meuli, Whitehair, Makins, Weber, Dieter ROW 2-Gish, Ber- ger, Flanagan, Ayers, Bur- nette, Brown, Dahnke, Gam- ber, Brooks.

Freshman -Class HEN THE DOORS of the Junior High and rural school bunk houses of the county swung open in September, one hundred seventy-five eager ten- derfeet came trooping out to take the trail. They came to the corral of old A. H. S. a11d chose the horses on which they would ride for the next four years. Some of the cayuses chosen were: Algebra, English, general sci- ence, history, psychology, and geometry and were very' dependable, worth-while ways if ridden by lads of spirit and patience. A small number of these tenderfeet, how- ever, unwisely picked outlaw branches such as: idleness, flirting, and playing hookie, and after riding for a fall, gave up in the attempts to be full-fledged Cowboys. Oth- ers not having acquired in previous years the ability to ride, failed to keep their seats in the saddle and dropped at various intervals along the trail. Of course, some of these tenderfeet would never make ranch foremen for they lacked the nerve to mount and catch up with other riders. A large per cent however, clung to the job un- til the round-up May 26, 1933. when the rewards of Sophomore were bestowed on deserving riders. During this first year's drive the chief range riders in- cluded: President, Ralph McMillan, vice-president, Bet- ty .lean Jones, secretary-treasurer, Faye Snyder. Rep- resentatives for the Student Council were Joan Hogan and Donald Makins. The ranch foremen were: Miss Margaret Scott, Miss Ethel Giles, and Mr. Fred Allison. Although plainly novices. this group l1as already made some records for other tenderfeet to aim at. XVith their Hforty-fours they have made several bulls-eyes such as super-salesmanship, for they sold more ground mustang at a football game than any other class and they also led all other classes in the Annual sales campaign which is held every year in the form of a contest to arouse in- terest among the classes. The freshmen have ranked third on the honor roll since the beginning of school, They have also been well represented in the rodeo of sports of the school including football, basketball, and baseball for the Cowboys, while the girls had a basketball tournament and a hockey tournament, On class night the freshmen gave a clever stunt which ended their class activities for the year, 1933.
