There was a distinct deviation from the plans of former years. 'I he costume parade, which had been an important feature before, was omitted this year. 'Phe arrangements provided for a basketball tournament between the four classes of the High School. The student body assembled for the afternoon games at Muiphy Hall with the school band helping to put pep into the event. There was keen rivalry between the teams and they entered into the contests with a vim. The Seniors and the Freshmen played the first game and the advantage in years and the experience of the upperclassmen made the Freshmen appear as not very strong competitors. The Seniors won 52 to 5. The second game, between the Juniors and the Sophomores, was a real contest. Each team fought and did its best from start to finish and the spectators were afforded many thrills during the game. The Sophomores won 28 to 11. At 5 o’clock the regular Homecoming cafeteria supper was served in the basement of the Christian church. Though the weather was unfavorable, a large crowd patronized the affair. The supper was under the supervision of the officers and members of the Patron Teachers’ Association. The High School Orchestra furnished music during the supper hour. The Junior class sponsored a candy booth and realized a neat sum for their efforts. The games between the classes were resumed at Murphy Hall at 7 o’clock. 'Phe two losers of the afternoon, the Juniors and the Freshmen, played for third and fourth places, the Freshmen winning 21 to 18. The Seniors and Sophomores met in the second game of the evening for the championship. It was an exciting and hard-fought contest. Some fine basketball was displayed by the players and the spectators had plenty of opportunity to show their enthusiasm. The game ended with Seniors 24. Sophomores 14. Raymond Lucas, Sophomore, was the high scorer, making 22 points in one game. I he classes of 1926 and 1927 played an exhibition game following the class contests, the former winning 28 to 25. The combined net receipts of the supper and basketball games were $106.30, which was divided between the Athletic Association and the Patron Teachers’ Association. S. B. H.. ’31. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY I he Sophomores were discussing a very important problem. They wandered about the halls despondently, and whenever a Freshman should appear they gazed intently at the poor victim, and then their spirits sank to rock bottom. How on earth could they initiate these Freshies. as was the custom in A. C. H. S.! At the third class meeting the problem was solved. It was decided that it leally doesn t pay to initiate Freshies. What fun is it to upperclassmen to bully the newcomers? And besides, what good does it do the Freshmen? What they really need is an introduction to High School. So we set to work, and with Mr. butte!fields valuable aiil devised a plan which would enable the Freshies to drop their timidness for good. A committee was chosen to work out the details, and one to choose refreshments. On September 21, at about 7:30, everyone was ready for the fun. Carrel Miller. Sharon Hoose and Monell Hammitt presided. Those Freshies sure came into High School in the right way. I hey entertained us with everything from campaign speeches to aesthetic dancing and hog calling.
