Page 16 We, the class of ,39, as we review the high lights of our freshman year find that the potential diliierence between that year and this is that we have greatly increased in importance. Time, that great transformer of earthly matter, has wrought in us many changes. We are no longer mere dots frantically making dashes to escape being stepped on and make a timely entrance to the class room, rather we linger in the hall gossiping as long as possible before making a short circuit through hallways and over cactus beds to learn upon arrival at our destina- tion that the bell just one minute before sent out its last warning peal. As sophomores we felt as if we were at that rather dark and uneventful stage in our career when we were neither the adored and much abused babies nor the illustrious magnetic personalities-the upper classmen. No matter how bright and elucidating our remarks and activities were, they brought but flicker of approval from the upper classmen and a look which may have embodied in it a gleam of intelligence from the scrubs. This year for the first time we dare to use several new terms without causing many a pitying glance to be cast in our direction. For instance, according to Mr. Webster, that dynamo of the definition world, voltage is a measure of pressure while ohm is a measure of resistance. Then would it be too electrifying to make the following simple statement of fact? The sales manager for the Huff-Jones Company had to use very little high voltage to convince us that we should order our rings during our sophomore year for no one offered a bit of ohm. We admit that the statement may sound a bit odd, but who are we to argue with thc dictionary? Lct's direct the rays of the spotlight on this year and its activities and we find Bill Walton, president, diligently trying to correct his misconcepted idea that an electric current is a small dried grape suffering from shock. At his side with his attention fused on finding the correct definition of the word 'itclephonyi' we see Bill Butler, vice-president. And there,s Evelyn Efird, treasurer, trying to decide whether to answer true,' or 'ifalse' to the statement, MA short circuit is the term

XN'hat person could better lift them from the throes of confusion than jean Smith, secretary, with her enlightening remark, I'll tell a phony story some day about the electric current that took a short circuit from the plug in the wall to the Hoor under my feet! using me as the electric wire. At the time of this writing there are many among the juniors who have been heard muttering unintelligiblc and foolish syllables among which the words Your Face is Familiar can be detected. It seems rather strange to all who come within hearing distance, for most faces around here are familiar. Strange, too, that their glowing faces should betray signs of anticipation! Can it be that something's going to happen? Oh, so that's the answer. A kind junior has enlightened us. '6Your Face is Familiarn is the title of the junior play to be presented this spring. We have been told that there are seventeen juniors this year who rated suiii- ciently high in their meter readings to place them on the privileged list of special rates called honor study, which exempts them from compulsory study hall attend- ance. They are Eleanor Berg, T. A. Brown, Denver Butler, Barbara DeGroote, Evelyn Efird, Irene Gilstrap, Leslie Gray, Doris Knowles, Ruby Kragh, Vaudine Mills, Dorothy Mitchell, Viola Renfro, jean Ripley, Virginia Sarkisian, Jean Smith, W'illiam Walton, and Ruth Lewis. One of the juniors, Dorothy Mitchell, had the giant power needed to enable her, as a member of the affirmative debate team, to defend our school against the inroads of debaters from other schools, Six of our juniors, Hiroshi Asakawa, james Nfiyamoto, Robert Ripley, Burke Brisen- dine, Bennett jones, and T. A. Brown possessed the special capacity for heavier electrical loads so essential in football and were members of the varsity team. Nine of our boys, Odee Hill, Bennett jones, Eldon Elliott, Hiroshi Asakawa, Bill Butler, T. A. Brown, Leslie Gray, James Miyamoto, and Togo Ishii played on the basketball team. Page I7
