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

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

FRESHMEN CLASS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER Herbert Inskip President Herbert Inskip Leroy Huntley Vice-President Leroy Huntley Doris Falkenberg Secretary-Treasurer Doris Falkenberg CLASS ADVISOR - -LILLIAN HAGOPIAN W August 18, the class of '28 entered the halls of A.U.H. S. for the first time as members of the institution, and since that date have played a very im- portant part in the affairs of the school. Our first week of school was made exceedingly miserable by the soph- omores, for they seemed bent on initiating us to the fullest extent of the law, but some how or other we managed to live through it only to find the worst was yet to come .Early in September, we were ushered into the gym- nasium by a band of sophomore Hcommitteemenj' and we were forced to go through numerous stunts, subject to the approval of the whole student body. We are now full fledged members of the school and had a well earn- ed right to partake in all the student body activities, athletic, and other- wise. A party at Christmas was very much enjoyed, and our Advance pro- gram in February met with great approval, for something entirely different from other affairs of the kind was given. In athletics we have placed our share of boys and girls. We are partic- ularly proud of the fact that the battery on the baseball team is composed of two members of our class. Baseball seems to be our strong point, for we carried off the interclass championship in that sport by defeating both thc saphamares and the juniors, the last a surprise victory. All in all, we believe that we have made a good start in high school and only hope that we can continue the good work in years to come. 24
