The Sophomore 2-1 Class has held four successful events this year. Two Cake Sales were first on the program and both turned out better than hoped for. A May Walk was given next and all the pupils in the High School were invited. Although only a few turned out and it rained part of the time, a good time was enjoyed by all who went. The last event given by the Sophomores was a Dance at Masonic Hall. It was successful in spite of the hot weather. The ice-cold lemonade and the good music, afforded a good time for everyone present. All the members of the Sophomore 2-2 Class regret the loss of Miss Mae Meyer, our Treasurer, who has left Athenia and our High School to make her residence in Sunside, Catskill Mountains. After much anxiety and preparation the Junior Prom was tendered td the Graduating Class of 1919. The Juniors exhibited their artistic ability by carrying out a Springtime decoration scheme of lilacs and dogwood. Dancing was enjoyed by all and punch was served during the intermission. The committees in charge were as follows: Music—Miss Viola Corrigan. Printing—Miss Evelyn Shields. Refreshments—Miss Jeanne Powell and Hallet Schneck. Decoration—Misses Veronica Hazell, Jessie Barnes, Ada Hess. The Juniors were pleased with the results of the Prom but especially did they appreciate Mr. Nutt’s commendation of its success. The Junior Debating Society has been very active during the past term. The success of the teams is due largely to the faithful coaching of Mrs. Grammar and Miss Hoffman. The spirit of rivalry displayed by the opposing teams was invigorating. Two dances were given on December 16th and March 17th re- spectively, by the Juniors. The Class is working hard in order to secure sufficient funds to take the proposed trip to Washington, D. C. The members of this class wish to thank all who have so cheerfully patronized their school sales and dances. Private Albert Zamborsky, a former member of the Class of 1920, recently visited the school. Zamborsky, who is stationed at Fort Porter, Buffalo, in the Medical Corps, was among the first boys who volunteered from Clifton High School to enter the service of their country. The students of the Sophomore 2-2 Class enjoyed a party on Tues- day afternoon, June 3rd, at which the Principal and the members of tzventy-five
