) ; | Sophomore Class History The good Dirigible 1927 sailed into harbor early in September, 1923. Aboard our balloon were thirty souls. We had just come from that country called Grammar School land and had reached the country of High School land. We lit hard in the city of Freshmen year in the southwestern part of High School land, which is an ex- clusive educational center. It was the first of four cities located in the region, the others being Sophomore town, Junior burg, and Senior metropolis, within a few miles of each other. In the eyes of these other people we were mere children, and so they welcomed us with a “Kid Party.” This was their way of initi- ating us, and at the end of the evening we emerged full fledged members of High School land. We now organized, electing Kenneth Guild, president; Rea Neil- son, vice-president; and Adjer Cothran, secretary and treasurer. Miss Justine Conrey assumed the lead of class teacher. Our class was well represented in scholarship, athletics, foren- sic and operetta, last year. The social functions were capped by a picnic, given by us at Redlands. We are much better represented in all things this year. We have more members and we are more used to the manners and cus- toms of High School land. Our class of thirty-three is growing big- ger and better, day by day, in every way, and we know we will be by the time we reach the Senior metropolis, the best class ever re- corded on the B. U. H. S. books. 18, (Oh Als [Page Seventeen ]

Freshmen Class History This merry group of thirty-two Freshmen entered the Banning Union High School, September seventeenth, willing to obey the rules and methods of the upper classmen. We were strangers at first, but we were not long finding our way and making friends. During the first week of school we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: Floyd Bigley, class president; Louise Bickham, vice-president; Blanche Skene, secretary; Donald Urton, treasurer, and Miss Pray, our class teacher, Our first social function we attended was the “Kid” party, given by the upper classmen, at which we were initiated into the life of the high school. They washed the paint off the girls’ faces, and made the boys sit in an electric chair. Miss Pray came to our rescue, Hven through our misery, we had a good time. Through all the year just a few marbles, tops, dolls and suckers have been seen dropped from the Freshmen’s pockets. L. B.’28. Student Body Organization This year we have to a great extent concentrated on this his- torical number of the La Revista, although we have accomplished several other things. The Student Body has accomplished a great deal towards self- government. We have taken over the regulation of the study halls, the conduct of which has greatly improved since the first of the year. Dancing has been introduced at our parties for the first time in the history of the B. U. H. S., this being only one of the many privi- leges extended to us by our board. Last fall we bought new suits for the lightweight basketball team, and new nets for our cement tennis courts. We also fixed up the stage lighting system, and can now have excellent lighting ef- fects. Ourentertainments have been well attended, and I wish at this time to thank those who have helped us in any way. LEE McCURDY, President.
