Dorothy Weber called the visitors' attention to the tribe's business records, which she had hewn into the stone walls—records of success—records which cannot be changed, but will last forever. Vice tribe leader, Rocky (Gerald) Johnson, called into conference Norma June Auld and Robert Smith. The latter two had been chosen to represent the Soph cavemen on the Student Board of Control. After all the sight-seeing and the meeting of new friends, the travelers settled down to listen to the stories of famous Sophs. They heard of the football heroes, Warren Green, Maurice Primeau, Walter Brown, and Vernon Wittenbrink, about how Jane Douglas and Edna Alms had held off an attack of wild beasts by charming them with sweet swing; and how Dorothy Michelson won an election and became secretary of the Dramatic Club. By the time these tales were told the fires had slowly died out. As the last ray of light faded, the barbaric Sophs of Chester High School made a circle around the red embers—a lovely picture to preserve in your memories —our Sophomore Class of 1940. 28

§ opl]iimttrcs of the flood of sunbeams and found Drum Major H'arry Allison practicing the twirlers, Melba Welge, Jean Drake, Bernice Frager, Barbara May, and Jane Lee Douglas. She warned them to watch how the sun's rays caught in their twirling sticks and not to wake up Paul Born, William Stueven, or Bobby Swain. The next hour was spent in taking pictures. Arden Ruddell, the Paleothic cameraman, got action shots of the bowling champ, Darlene Jungewaelter. The manager of the Yellow Jackets, Fred Schmerbauch, posed with the Soph basketball star, Gene Wolff. The snapshot hour was interrupted by a terrific uproar outside the cave. Tommie Lee Jackson, the able mathematician, figured she could find out what the din was about. She returned to the group with a look of disappointment on her face. There was no lion or tiger or mouse to cause the alarm—Paul Hopkins had only smiled and frightened all the members of the Boy Shy Club. First Row: A. Duensing, S. Andrews, A Duensing, R. Andrews, E.

 freshmen SAVAGE FRESHMEN We Freshmen are but savages in the vast stream of civilization about C. H. S. Since we are smaller than most of the uppercl'ass beasts about us, we have been obliged to defend ourselves by our intelligence. Being a primitive people we spent the first few weeks of our education learning from actual experience. We took a critical view of all our surroundings. We saw many things that interested us—a picture of Abe Lincoln in the entrance hall, rows of lockers that made a noise when you closed them, water fountains that actually worked when you turned a knob, and a host of other things that amused us in our spare time. While we were pondering on our surroundings, in marched the civilized Seniors with loud-sounding steps. How they paralyzed us with their importance! Every savage took a good look at these more advanced people and decided right then and there to outrun them. There was more to do than defend ourselves—we must find the food of learning . And so with our clubs of ambition and spears of perseverance we set out to conquer any monarch of the forest of education . First Row: E Wittenbrink, J. Stirnaman, C. Sraithey, K. Taggart, W.
