Page 20 I On September 20, l937, seventy disintegrated bodies of electrical energy, having duly charged their one-cell batteries, were generating but one idea-to please everyone in control, principals, teachers, and especially the distributing agents for bibs, colored marks, ribbons, and short pants. Some scrubs, having their wires crossed a bit, thought the definition for to registerl' was 'cthe act of signing for classes which are least apt to overcharge one- cell batteriesf' However, seeming to overcome quite well the shock they had received upon learning what was expected of them, they streamed to the basement Ca lowly place for lowly inclividualsj where, safe from the taunts and jeers of haughty sophomores, they bashfully wiped a bit of the ultra-red from their faces and hands and received advice concerning the best course of action for them.

Their exhibition of acting ability was so good that if the rays of the stage lights might suddenly have been switched from the stage and directed on the audience, the actors would have seen several persons rolling in the aisle. At the beginning of our sophomore year, we elected the following officers: President ............................................................ GAROLD GAINE.S Vice-president ..... ....... R ICHARD FAHRNEY Secretary ........... .................. A LYCE SHOJI Treasurer ........,,,,...... ............. M ARY ELLEN YVALTON Finance committee ..... .......................... D OROTHY YOUNG Social committee ,................... MYRNA HYLTON, LEROY STARK The members of the sophomore class wanted some one wiry to represent them on the rally committee so they chose Myrna Hylton. For the merit board, two bright students, ,Ioan Edmonson and Elizabeth Gallaher were elected. Our class is well represented in the field of sports by such stars as Garold Gaines, Richard Bowen, Leroy Stark, David Crisel, Robert Woodward, Toshihiro Masada, Shungi Doi and others. The negative debating team is composed of two sophomores, joan Edmonson and Elizabeth iGallaher. They accomplished almost the impossible by defeating the affirmative team of the Coalinga High School, former state champions in debating. ' The sophomores shine in curricular as well as extra-curricular activities, how- ever, for by glancing at the honor roll we End that it has used its magnetic power in drawing the following students to it: Kenneth Allison, Elizabeth Casey, Isabelle Correia, Dorothy Dostinieh, Joan Edmonson, George Espinola, Richard Fahrney. Elizabeth Gallaher, Alfrida Harris, Toyoko Hoshiko, Myrna Hylton, Sumi Ishii, Alice Jeremias, Lily Masada, Mildred Nash, john Ripley, William Ripley, Alyce Shoji, Elsie Tavares, Mary Ellen Walton, Robert l'Voodward and Dorothy Young.

After a week of looking like Indians, the original seventy appearing somewhat the worse for the wear were entertained by the sophomores at the annual sopho- more-freshman party. During the course of the afternoon the sophomores were forced to admit that a power line is not a bad thing to have especially when the reward for its absence is flowing not too gently from the mouth of a hose. In other words, the freshmen won the tug of war game. Early in the year the class elected the following officers: president, Kenneth Mills, vice-president, Wallace Ransierg secretary, Keith Nystremg treasurer, Alvina Michaelis. The fact that these students are very promising needs no further proof than the following example. They were asked to define ampere-hour. The answer which was considered as most nearly approaching correctness was Kcnneth's, i'It's a radio program broadcast over KMJW With these bright electro-lytes as its leaders, the freshman class has really shone this year.
