U Q O 0 HIS year's lunior Class is the largest Junior Class Alhambra High has ever known. Least year's Juniors set a very high standard, and that standard we have striven to maintain. The Juniors have participated in practically all of the school activities of the year. Athletics, Debating, Dramatics, lllusic, and Literary work are represented well by the Class of '23. This year has been by far the best year that A. H. S. has ever experienced, and the juniors have striven to be a factor in making it so. Une hundred and nineteen students were registered as juniors at the beginning of the year. VVe now number one hundred and forty members. The class officers are: President, Jack Rhoadesg Secretary, Nelson Davidg Treasurers, Shirley Gitt and Alvin Spoon. This year there were several Juniors on the football team who can be classed as stars. There is a good deal of material for football in the -lunior Class, and it is ex- pected to shine forth and do big things for the school next year. Although little has been done the past two years in football, next year we should have a good team, as the coaches have been building it up these years from lower classmen. Next came basketball, in which the team did so well. There is no use mentioning their achieve- ments, for the whole town knows their record from A to Z. juniors here again took an active part in helping to cop the Southern California pennant. Klany members of the track team were also juniorsg once again showing our proficiency. Three of our first team baseball players were Juniors. One might suppose from the preceding paragraph that our class is composed only of athletes. This is not so. Three Junior girls took the prizes for the annual stories, taking first, second, and third places. The annual staff is composed of many students who are Juniors in training for annual work next year. Debating owes part of its success to our representatives on the team. VVQ are also well represented on the Spot- light Staffg in fact, the Child of Mrs. Richardson's heart is being edited, this term, by a Junior. The Juniors put forth their best efforts to make this year's circus a success, and we all agree that it was. VVe are all proud of our play, Stop Thief, the proceeds from which bought a set of scenery for the stage, made a liberal con- tribution to the Student Revolving Fund, and financed our dance so that it was complimentary to all. And speaking of the dance, all of the guests proclaimed it the biggest social event of the year. For this, and many other accomplishments we owe much to Miss W'alker, our class teacher. Seniors are always looked upon as leaders in a school, and we hope that next year we can live up to what the other classes expect of us. N l'fl.SUN DAVID. Tfwenty-rigfht

T takes about a year to become accustomed to new surroundings and to get into the swing of things, so even though we feel that we did fairly well as a Freshman Class we are sure that we took hold of our work as Sophomores at the beginning of the year with a greater insight into what a privilege and responsibility it is to be an organized group in A. H. S. The following officers were elected at our first class meeting: President, Lloyd Rogersg Vice President, Irvine Nyeg Treasurer, Dorothy Pence. During the year we worked hard as a class and June brings to a close a year of real achievement for the present Sophomores and we can look back on the past months with satisfaction. As Sophomores ours has been the privilege to contribute largely to the splendid success that Alhambra has had this year. Very often under classmen are valuable to a school on the second teamsg but only rarely do Sophomores place on the first teams. But this year we have had the unique privilege of being represented on the first teams in all activities. Class activities have been equally well supported in every branch of work. The Sophomores won the annual Sophomore-Freshman football game by a score of 55-U. Next came interclass basketball. After the basketball games were over, the Freshmen challenged the Sophomores to a debate which the Freshmen won by one-third of a point. Though all the classes have had an opportunity to manage and publish one edition of the Spotlight, the Sophomores pointed out the way by undertaking the project first and feel that a most interesting custom has been established and started on its way by the success of their venture. Socially the class had a good time especially on Slay 20, when the Sophomore dance was held in the gymnasium. YVe wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the enthusiasm and guidance of our class teacher, Bliss Chambers. Her illness during the last semester has been regretted by us as individuals and as a class. Klrs. Richardson has helped us during the absence of bliss Chambers. VVe, the Sophomore Class, hope that as Juniors we will be able to help the school even more than we have helped this year and that our past work is only an indication of the bigger things we will do as juniors.
