In One More Harbor Must We Rest Cn the opening day of school in the autumn of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, twenty-six Freshmen put to sea Linder the expert guidance of Mr. F. C. Branstetter. He aided these Freshmen by guiding their canoes skillfully among the shoals and sand bars. Through the ordeals of the sea, Mr. Branstetter was their pilot. By anchoring them steadfastly to stern realities, he sawthem through into the safe waters of the Sophomore Class, Some few by this time had been lost along the way, having lost control of their canoes and had been washed up on the beach. By this time many had also begun to learn the reason for the voyage and had begun to steer more diligently and keep their log more carefully. There were not quite so many storms this year, and the sailing was comparatively smooth. Then they entered the Junior Class and met with a change in Pilots and a change in the number of canoes, too. Four of the canoes drifted from the set course, thus leaving only eighteen to enter the last quarter of the voyage. We all sincerely hope that these eighteen canoes will continue safely on until they enter the port of safety on the night of graduation. The class officers for this year are: President ....... ......... W ayne Dixon Vice President. . . . . .Frederick Ziegenbusch See. SL Treas.. . . ....,...., Betty Rapp Sponsor ...... .... M r. Linn

WHITEFEATHER Page TWEUFYONE A POETIC SENIOR ls it a fact And can it be true That the Seniors, forever Must say adieu, To the teachers and student1 Of Buckland Hi, To face what the world Has in store-Do or die? While under their care We all have learned much, Still, only the surface Of knowledge we touched. It's not merely from teachers And hooks of reference, That we gain intelligence, But from common experience. We've had joys and trials, Temptations and sorrows, Still, in this world There are more to follow. All joys we gain, All problems we face, Must be common to all, In this human race. We have read many texts, We have played our pranks, And now, as school ends, We give many thanks To those who so faithfully Have helped us through, And from day to Clay Were so kind and true. -Mary Cook

Sophomore Class History We, the Sophomore Class of 1937-'38, entered school this year looking forward to the new teachers with great interest. We entered with a total number of twenty-four. We had two new students in our class. Later in the year, two of our number left school, and three new students entered. Everyone of our class this year has taken a part in some extra-curricular activity. Several students enrolled in the Industrial Arts Club, open to Sophomores for the first time this year. The class had two parties. At the beginning of the year, a weiner roast was held at Fort Amanda park. A Christ- mas party, featuring a gift exchange was held at the Ladies Aid Hall in Buckland. The officers of the Sophomore class for this year are as follows: President ......,. ....... C lyde Dingledine Vice-President .... ......... C arl Cook Sec. SL Treas... .... Carl Cvene Place Class Editor ...... ...,, H oward Wheeler Sponsor ..................,...... Miss Henrv The Sophomore Class will always look back to this year as having been very pleasant and profitable. We wish to thank the faculty for its loyal assistance and cooperation at all times. THE POET SPEAKS The Sophomore class has twenty-three As brilliant pupils as ever you see, Sometimes we study, sometimes we don't Some of us like to, and others won't. We are a class that's hard to beat, The girls are pretty, and the boys are neat. Nevertheless, we'll work till we die To bring honor and joy to Buckland high.
