Sophomore Class History Wc started our voyage with Marianne Wolcott at the helm at president. She was ably assisted by her mates, Burton Stover as Vice-President, Vroni Christl as Secretary, and Clifford Machacek as Treasurer. The first night out a party was given. Everyone had a splendid time. Six ot the crew joined in the deck sport, namely basketball. Burton Stover and Devon Michael acted as substitutes on the first team; Charles Mireau, Merle Roth, Royal Porter, and Norman Mamman on the second team. And were we proud of our Sophomores! Wc reached port, our voyage half over, January 16, 1937. We chose a new captain, Devon Michael, as President. He was assisted by Helen Boyle as Vice-President, Frances Champagne as Secretary, and Merle Roth as Treasurer. We again set sail and the good ship Sophomore rolls merrily on its way.

Stewart Shearer Vice-President Mary Buckman Treasurer Robert Storick Secretary Grace Zukaus One early September morning back in 1934, that polished group which is now the Junior Class, entered Berrien Springs High School as green and timid as any other Freshman Class. They duly elected officers, had class parties, did the things expected of them and, on the whole, spent a dry and boring year. The following year they returned, much wiser for the previous year. Aside from the fact that they were called Sophomores and decorated for a St. Patrick’s dance, the year passed in much the same manner as the previous one. However, on September 8, 1936, this same group re-entered B. S. H. S., a polished and dignified class. For the first semester Benard Kcsterkc was elected president. During that semester a committee of five selected a class ring, which practically every member of the class now owns. On April 22, the lunior play, “Smoky Treasure, was presented. The cast included Wilda Olney, Huberta Botham, Marjorie Kephart, Jeanette Ewalt, Marian Bowerman, Ethel Nightlinger, Merle Spaulding, Edward Cleveland, Duane Dean, Robert Storick, and Stewart Shearer. Late in May the plans are to give the present Senior Class a prom, the like of which has never been had in the High School Gym. Marjorie Kephart page ticcnty-onc

Of course we had a good time as Eighth Graders, hut as Frcshrr and a part of the High School, we’re bound to have a better time. Already we have had a Halloween party and was it a success!! (Incidentally the days following were more cheerful and less expensive than those following our Eighth Grade Party.) We arc proud to say that Mr. Hawkins is our sponsor; now all we have to do is ‘ perk up” and make him proud to say the same. Before long we’ll Ik Sophomores—hut we’ll probably still he Freshmen at heart. Margaret Kric page hrcntif-thrce
