Freshman Class HE Freshman Class Council for this year, 1934-35, has been one greatly changed. Instead of the usual one council member from each district, a council member came from each school. The group decided upon being just a legislative body omitting ottieers. This plan worked successfully considering the change. The first event of the year was the Freshman Stunt. The stunt proved good and introduced to the student body many talented new- comers. A party honoring those who took part in the stunt was one of the greatest events of the year. The group also proved very handy by cleaning the gym after the annual student body dance and by managing the check room for several other organizations. The meetings at the beginning of the year were very successful and later the group disbanded because the greater part were excused to join the debate advisory, where they took part in a series of 185 debates run off by that group. Several of our members took part in the Student Body Hevue, which was instituted this year to replace the annual student carnival. The council voted to continue the enlarged council plan into the sophomore year and representatives have been chosen from each school district. Officers will be elected in the fall. Maybe we have been the pioneers of a new and more representative form of class government for our high school.

Sophomore Class OR the enterprising sophomore, the school year of 1934-35 has been an unusually profitable and successful one. After electing class ofiicers at the beginning of the year, the class had charge of refreshments at tl1e Annual Student Body Dance. One of tl1e earlier events of the season was tl1e Sophomore Stunt, presented ill November. It cleverly depicted tl1e contrast of life in 1864 and 1934, showing the daily life, entertainment and fashions of the two periods. Several class meetings were successfully held throughout the year, each featuring an excellent program. At the Annual Sophomore Dance, held on March 8, lights and decorations of many colors beautifully carried out the rainbow color scheme. A unique and much-publicized feature of the dance was the pot of gold' given to the winner of the prize waltz. The class has been well represented in athletics and debate. Several sophomores are accomplished members of the tennis team, and the girls have carried oft' the championships for both soccer and association.
