Feeling that we appeared rather awkward and green, we appointed Miss Jeffrey and Mr. Daugherty as class sponsors to give us a starting push toward the path of education. With their help, we immediately settled down to business by electing the following class officers: Wayne Foster, president; Edna Mills, vice-president; Darrell Carper, secretary, and Jane Alkire, treasurer. We at once made our presence known by winning the prize for the most original stunt in the parade preceding the Casey-Oblong game. In October, the student body, fearing that we were not properly introduced to their beloved school, gave us a thorough initiation at the all-school party. During the year, we distinguished ourselves by taking active part in school activities. The class, as a whole, took a great deal of interest in music and was well represented in the band and orchestra. Several of our boys went out for football and basketball. Wayne Ault was our most outstanding in football and won a position on the first team during his Freshman year. In 1932, 82 “Sophies”, having lost their bashful ways of the previous year, returned to school. After casting looks of superior sophistication and dignity on the “Freshies”, we elected the following class officers: Chester Garrett, president; Harland Snodgrass, vice-president, and Rodney Greever, secretary and treasurer. Although we were now accustomed to the ways of school life, most of us felt that we needed the aid of guiding hands. So we elected as class sponsors, Miss Bane and Mr. Bergstrom. Again the class was active in school affairs. Twelve members of the class were in the band. Margaret Brewer contributed much to our enjoyment of assembly programs by her fine talent as a pianist. Darrell Carper, by playing a cornet solo, won in second division at the state band contest at Champaign. Several other members also were contestants in the spring contest work in the music and literary fields. The remarkable scholastic ability of the class was shown by the large number of brilliant Sophomores on the honor roll. High honors were regularly attained by Dorothy Bell. Chester Garrett, Edna Mills, Coral Orandoff, and Wanda Daugh-hetee. During the summer, all of us were saddened by the tragic death of William Brandenberg. who was drowned while swimming in the Em- 1261
