SOPHOMORES “Look at this flower, Bill. What kind is it?” “I don’t know, but let’s ask the teacher.” This conversation took place during one of the many hikes on which the Sophomore Biology Class has gone this year. It has studied nature and collected plants and ani¬ mals for the aquarium and terrarium which were started by the Sophomore Class last year. Several times the students took their lunch along. This winter when the snow was so deep, they took food for the birds, and then had a weiner roast and sledding party. Ws wonder what Milly is doing that Dode and Dotty seem so interested. The Sophomore English Class, under Miss Baker, went to Everett to see the moving picture, “The Tale of Two Cities,” by Dick¬ ens. The class was reading this classic at the time. Mr. Sproul’s home room has been particu¬ larly active this year. Early in the school term the members went on a weiner roast.

When September came, the loyal members of the class of ’37 returned to school, filled with more vim and vigor than at any time pievious. At the first class meeting, the following officers were elected: President, Paul Housel; vice president, Samuel Fickes; secretary-treasurer, Ruby Defibaugh; sponsor, Mr. Sproul. Being overwhelmed with energy and ambition, the class gave the fiist large party of the season, which was held on November 22, 1£35. It was attended by practically every member of the school, and was a grand success. In the middle of this year, the school sponsored a “Fiesta.” Lach class entered some contestants to compete for “Fiesta Queen.” The Juniors entered their candidates. One of these candidates, Betty Whitmore, was crowned queen. We may proudly admit that the Junior Class is well repre¬ sented in athletics, music, debate, dramatics, and other school organizations, and has helped in winning many awards for the school by its talent.

and every one enjoyed himself. On the last day of school, before Christmas vacation, they held a Christmas party. As Freshmen this class was very active. Soon after the opening of school it held a meeting and elected the following officers: President, Homer May; secretary-treasurer, Dor¬ othy Robinson; adviser, Miss Garbrick. Later the class met and decided to hold a poverty party, which proved quite suc¬ cessful. Admission was food and clolhing which was later given to the Red Cross and Children’s Aid Society. All other charges were very small, which proved a popular change. This year the class, as Sophomores, at the first meeting, elected: Katharine Robinson, president; Mildred Clapper, vice president; Dorothy Young, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Litzinger, class sponsor. It has not held any parties so far this year, but took an active part in the Fiesta, and promoted Lois Gump as candidate for queen. The class has accomplished a great deal and has great hopes for the future. We feel sure that every member should be proud to belong to such a class.
