SOPHOMORE CLASS

A SOPHOMORE’S IDEA OE HEAVEN What is a Sophomore’s idea of Heaven after all? First, does a Sophomore have an idea of Heaven? We hope so. Is Heaven getting all A’s on a report or is it passing all subjects with D’s? To the studious pupil his Eden might easily begin with A. Pray forgive my punning. To the romantic pupil report cards would be miles away from his Paradise. His idea of Heaven would be a nice romantic spot with a rising moon, a parked car, and thee. The athletic student would have his own opinion of Heaven. There probably would be a track meet or a basketball game in continuous progress. To the student interested in dramatics Heaven might present another side. Behind the scenes there would be comedies, tragedies, and melodrama with St. Peter acting as stage-doorman. A lengthy discussion could be launched. We shan’t dispute but shall take it for granted that every Sophomore has his very own idea of Heaven. Mine, however, is a very delightful place where everyone is helpful, courteous, truthful, and kind. All work together for the common good. Sincerity, politeness, and cooperation reign supremely here. Let our Sophomore class exercise some of these abstract qualities, especially cooperation, and we shall have one of the best Junior classes there has ever been. If each Sophomore puts forth all that is best in him, our future Junior class will be a complete success. We have had a splendid year as Sophomores, safely guided by our president. We have been successful in every event we have undertaken. As Juniors we must surpass this record of ours and be proud of our Junior class, too. Let’s all get together and create a small “Heaven” here in A. H. S. J. M. S., ’34.
