JUNIOR CLASS President --------- Fred Tomlinson Secretary-Treasurer ------- Oren Frankie Athletic Managers - - Boys'-- Donald Inskip, Girls'-- Mary Bixler Class Advisor ----------- Mrs. Hill No one ever thought of the Junior class except as students of English III, U.S. History, and Chemistry, but, mark you, the Juniors were a bunch of live wires, 54 Kilowatts strong, lightening the dark corners of the school and showing everyone that his class was not the only one in the institution. The Juniors represented over sixty five per cent of those who respond- ed to the call for the A.U.H.S. football material. There were also a goodly number that turned out to make the heavyweight basket ball team that re- presented the Black and Gold. Their school year started in full force by the election of officers. They were the choicest material in the class of '26, and can be congratulated upon the good work done. When the time came, a committee for the Junior Advance was selected. The date set for the program was November 25, 1924. The reading of the school organ was preceded by games and a dance in the gym, After this, the program, which was given in the Assembly, went off very successfully. A short one act play entitled The Maker of Dreams H was given by the Sock and Buskin Club. A group of Juniors displayed their musical talents by singing some popular song hits. On December 19, 1924, the Juniors held their annual party in the biol- ogy room. The setting was decorated with greens from the woods anb with the class colors, purple and white, After a delicious meal, which, by the way, couldn't have been better had the home economics class prepared it, the Seniors invited the class to the dance which succeeded their party. The Juniors are class champions for '24-'25 in boys' basket ball and girls' base ball. They also have a good chance for track. --Winston Schussmann '26 22

MATERIALISM vs IDEALISM MATERIALISM vs IDEALISM--the greatest problem in our school life. Satisfaction with the general routine: a remarkable lack of desire to get out of the rut and treat with bigger things--really it is a most important problem. ' When people become satisfied with things as they are, they no lcnger advance towards a higher goal. Business comes to a standstill. Each day it is the same old grind, grind, grind: no variety, no change in the routine of life. The same applies to us of A. U. H. S. We, too, have come to the paint where we are satisfied with the materials at hand. Apparently there is no ideal towards which we are striving. There is no desire for the wcrth- while things of life. The majority of the students are content, even though they take no part in school activities. Why not try to do away with this evil, for evil it is, by doing some thing that will in some way better you and A. U. H. S. Even ifit is only to read a work of some famed author, to perform some act of kindness to a classmate, to bring a shrub or plant of some sort or other and plant it on the school grounds, do it,.and do it now! Join the Dramatic Club, get into the Band or Glee Club--anything, so long as you are entering into the spirit of the undertaking. These are the finer things of life, and surely they can do you no harm. .

SOPHOMORE CLASS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Merle McCann - - President - - - Philip Inskip Novelle Rowland - - Vice-President - - - Ellis McMillan Ellis McMillan - - Secretary-Treasurer - Kenneth Cooperrider August 18, we Sophomores started back to school, seventy-seven strong, feeling much more important and being much more talkative than when we started the preceding year, for we had now climbed to the second step of the high school ladder. About a month after school started the Frosh,' were initiated, and we proved ourselves tolerant and free from prejudice by sparing their lives. The Sophomores have contributed greatly to athletics. Several were out for football, seven were on the limited basketball squad, and others repre- sented the class in track, baseball, and girlts basketball. Socially we have done our part Whenever asked, and furnished a very enjoyable program and dance at the reading of the monthly Advancel'. Several Sophomores belong to the Sock and Buskin Club also. We, asa class, wish to thank Miss Graham, for her untiring efforts as class advisor. We have enjoyed our first two years in the A. U. H. S. and hope we may profit as much by our last two. - -Harry Ramsey '27 23
