SOPHOMORES At the beginning of the school year, 1936-37, 21 children were seen passing their first milestone. All were very timid and eager to get a glimpse of high school life. They were faithfully guided through this year’s course with Mrs. Brown, spon- sor; Clifford Parks, president; J. C. Fish- er, vice-pres.; and Idress Hoot, sec.-treas. After a four month vacation, this group was seen again, passing their second mile- stone, not as timid as before, for now they have been advanced to the ranks of “silly sophomores”. This year, their numbers have increased to 27. They were sorry to lose several of last year’s members; how- ever, to fill their emptied chairs were 16 new faces coming from various’ other schools. For our chief executives this year, Miss Justice was chosen sponsor; Clifford Parks, pres.; Delores Stonestreet, vice- pres.; J. C. Fisher, sec.-treas. Outside our daily routine, parties and other activities made the year more enjoyable.
