Olive is modest and small, Likewise gay with us all. Her mind is also devoted to books Upon which she often bestows tender looks. Frieda Sprunger, quiet and meek, For knowledge she will always seek. She is always sure to pass, Because she is a studious lass. Ethel Taylor, a country maid, The mud and snow she would wade, To drink from the fountain of learning, She always seems to be yearning. Jake Clauser, a minister’s son, One day he studies, the next he runs. To find pleasure is his desire Which gives the teachers a great deal oi ire. Roman Miller, bowed and quick, Opposing teams he has helped to lick; His stature is rather small, But this does not hamper him handling the ball. Myron Habegger, a hustling lad, Always rustles for the Budget ad, He is always cheerful and never sad. Which makes his patrons always glad. Walter Schug, a sporty boy, Who is always in search of joy, For this he rides to the south and west. But always comes home when in need of rest. Palmer Eicher, never in wrong, His liking for girls is rather strong. He is always found among the fair sex, And is always careful, girls never to vex. George Harris, big and tall. Has a heart, big enough for all, Willing always to do his best, And always anxious for the test. Twenty-four

The Sophomore Class OFFICERS President .................... Lester Lehman ice-President ................ Hilda Moser Secretary-Treasurer ......... Mildred Sprunger Class Colors—Black and Tan Class Flower—The Violet Class Motto—“Strive to succeed” A Sophomore’s Dream “It is seven o’clock, but you won’t have to go to school today, unless you want to. It was mother’s voice, but why the changed attitude about strict school attendance? No Sophie” could resist the lure oi the class room, so at 8:45 (15 minutes late), I found myself in front of the B. H. S. building. I was not the only one late for school that morning, for at about a block’s distance I saw Velma and Audits and behind them was Melvin, trying to catch up with them and join in the conversation. I heard the siren of an approaching car. and looking down the street I saw a large Pierce-Arrow. It was loaded and tilted to one side, but no wonder! In it was Harold Long, his sister, and Agnes and Delila Biery. Not far behind them was Lloyd Lehman with one of his father's little Shetland ponies. I now entered the building and was about to ascend the steps when Dan called out, Going up? What floor, please?” When I reached the seventh floor. I heard a great commotion in a near-by room. I decided to find out what it was. Just as I stepped inside of the library, Vandy was reciting the last line of The Blue and the Gray”. Something seemed to have such an effect on the pupils that they couldn't help but weep. Far back in a corner I noticed a person whom I hardly recognized. Finally I decided that it must be “Geeks”. But alas! be had lost his curly hair and most beautiful blue eyes. All at once he stood up and asked. Well, what are we crying about anyway?” Then Newell answered, ”1 suppose because she didn’t wink at us when she was through. In another corner I spied the most striking resemblance of “Tim”. But Lawsy Daisy! he had grown so much over night that a special tailor was needed to make his trousers. I noticed, too. when Carlton recited that he used such big words, I wished for a moment that I were a walking dictionary. As this was the day when our themes were due, Miss Pinnick waved her magic wand over Forest and lo and behold! he arose and read the most interesting theme 1 had ever been privileged to hear, but when Ralph was called upon to recite, he told the teacher that he had written what Shakespeare did— blank verse. Walter had a fairly good theme, but my, oh my! he read so plainly and loudly that it almost broke my ear drums to listen to him. The bells rang for the next period, so I followed the pupils to the Geometry class. Miss Hirschy failed to notice a statement in the proof of a theorem, and Clinton was the first to correct it. She then announced a test and the news was greeted with a Tu'cuty-six
