Une Goal Reached, Another Set The old order changethf' The members of the incoming Class in September, 1934, were almost over- whelmed with the change from their position as upper classmen in Keith and Roosevelt to that of mere sophomores in Senior High. From a realm where self-confidence had come through experience, where leadership qualities had won recognition, they came to new teachers, different studies, a vast building, unfamiliar surroundings, and different customs. Because of crowded conditions, the daily routine had undergone a change. Many students entered school late, others left early in the afternoon under the new plan. With all these bewilder- ing changes, is it any wonder that the Sophomores were confused? An interesting procedure of petitions, nominations and balloting gave well- chosen student leaders, who, with the hearty cooperation of the members and the assistance of kindly and capable sponsors, planned and carried through a successful program. The Sophomore party, the only one of the year for this group, was held in February. Collectively and individually, the participants declared the affair was successful both socially and financially. The installation of National Honor Society members greatly impressed the Sophomores privileged to witness it and thrilled many of them with a determi- nation to strive for scholastic and activity honors. An educational trip to Har- risburg to attend the farm show also included a Visit to the State Capitol and the Education Building. The old order changeth -yes, but so comes growth, and the close of the school year found the Sophomores accustomed to and actually enjoying school life in Senior High. One shade the more, one my the less. One step nearer the goal, graduation, yet one step away from it was the situation of those who returned to school as Juniors in September, 1935. Senior High now seemed like home with a welcoming atmosphere for former members and newcomers as well. In this host of vivacious students, friendships were renewed and new acquaintanceships were formed. The year gave promise of rich returns. The election of class oflicers was not unusual in any way, nevertheless, it created a spirit of friendly competition frankly enjoyed by the pupils. The results of the balloting were satisfactory, for those who were elected strove admirably to fulfill the duties of their respective oflices. The cooperation of the class members with student leaders and faculty sponsors helped in a large measure to insure the success of Junior undertakings during the year. The Yale Chronicle Series of pictures, shown at intervals during the school term in the Roosevelt auditorium, aroused latent interest in history. Page Twenty-two
