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

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

irliiiriw map- Write something for English to-morrowfi How easily words are said. But they are freighted with terrible meaning, And cause many an aching head. Write something for English to-morroW.'i Now what will that something be? A poem? A story? An essay? My mind is wandering, you see. Write something for English to-morrow. Dear me! I oan't think of a thing! Ideas, like swift, winged creatures, Before I can grasp them, take wing. If I stood at a bar of stern justice Waiting sentence of some awful crime, Write something for English tomorrow, Would be worse than serving my time. Write something for English tomorrow , 5 The hour of midnight has struck. A Ai i If this doggerel wonit be acceptedg QEQVW a . I'll certainly be out of luck. fl' ---H. A.
