Log of the Voyage The Good Ship Sophomore steamed from B. U. H. 8. pier Sep- tember 25, at 8:40, with all its flags flying. It was setting out on a voyage of exploration and discovery in the Seas of Scholarship, Athletics and Society. On the 28th of October the Good Ship Sophomore sailed into Jolly Harbor and the passengers had a Hallowe’en party. Their friends from the Good Ships Freshmen, Junior and Senior came aboard for the evening. The guests were invited to the hull of the ship to view the chamber of horrors. Games were played on deck and later the guests were escorted to the dining saloon, where re- freshments were served. The guests then departed in motorboats for the shore. On the seventeenth of November the discoveries and explora- tions were laid aside for an evening of jollification. The passen- gers were entertained by Mrs. Barker. The party was a great suc- cess and it gave every one renewed vigor in his work of discover- jes and explorations. While in Athletic Harbor, the Good Ships Freshmen, Sopho- more, Junior and Senior formed a league and played against the ships Hemet, Beaumont, Riverside and San Jacinto. The Good Ship Sophomore was well represented in boys’ and girls’ basketball, baseball and soccer. Many discoveries were made by the crew and passengers in the Sea of Scholarship. For their distinguished work, six in the first semester and nine in the second semester were honored by election to the Scholarship Society of B. U. H. S. The Good Ship Sophomore will return to the port on June 15th from a happy and successful trip, bringing honors already won and trophies still to be gained in the remaining two years of the voyage. ppp HANA SANT {Page Twenty-one]

Freshman Class History A. E. ’26 This merry group of Freshmen entered the Banning Union High School on the twenty-fifth of September, eager and willing to learn the ways and methods of a higher school of education. At first we came in as strangers to the school, but we were not long in finding friends and making ourselves feel at home and ready to settle down to hard, earnest study. At the end of the first week of school we were called together by Mr. Franklin for the purpose of electing class officers and a class teacher. Morey Smith was elected president, Esther Hendricks treasurer, and Miss Rudkin class teacher. The amount of class dues was decided, and, after giving a few yells in honor of our first organization meeting, we adjourned, feeling that we meant as much in high school and were as independent as any other class. We are made up of various kinds of students. With our enrollment of thirty-one, we are the largest Freshman class that has ever entered the high school. We have two members who have traveled extensively and tell us of many interesting experiences. Our class is not without a pianist, a drawer and a vocalist. There is not one member who is a draw-back. The first social function we attended was the “Kid” party given by the upper classes, at which we were duly initiated into high school life. About the middle of October we decided to entertain ourselves with a wiener bake. Although our luck was not the best, we had a good time. It was near Hallowe’en, so we allowed for a little bad luck. Our class teacher, Miss Rudkin, has come to our rescue a great many times. Even though we are Freshies, only a few tops and marbles have been se en to fall from the boys’ pockets, and only a few girls have been seen eating stick candy or animal cookies at school. Yes, we were a merry bunch. Almost too merry to settle down to hard work at first, but after a few warnings we began to improve. We are loyal to our class and to the Student Body, all of which goes to make a good school. an ae [Page Twenty-three]
