You could expect nothing else from the members of such a promb nent class. Next year we shall enter school as juniors with our heads high. We shall be looking into every little nook for some knowledge to store away so that in the future years we may be able to use it to our own advantage and to the advantage of the whole world. Let no one be surprised if this Sophomore Class some day supplies our country with great statesmen and perhaps a President or two. “We would be true, For there are those who trust us. We would be pure, For there are those who care. We would be strong, For there is much to suffer. We would be brave, For there is much to dare. We would be friend Of all - the foe - the friendless. We would be giving, And forget the gift. We would be humble, For we know our weakness. We would look up, And love - and laugh - and lift.

THE SPECTATOR Sophomore Class e are much wiser now than we were when we entered the high school; but how small will our knowledge seem two years from now when we are ready to leave? As freshmen we were timid and quiet, looking for studies and for knowledge. Soon,however,the situation was reversed; we grew bold and became very noisy. We ran away from our studies and sought ways to dodge our lessons. But our teachers were kind and pitied us; so, telling us to study harder next year, they promoted us to the Sophomore Class. At the beginning of the term we decided to draw up a constitution. There was much discussion about the idea and finally a committee was appointed. During this term we have had much fun and parliamentary practice in learning to follow the constitution. We first turned our attention to the election of officers. One election was declared void because the quorum required by the constitution was not present. A later election resulted in Earl Murillo being elected presi- dent; Jane Whitaker, vice president; Rodney Capps, secretary-treasurer. In March it was decided that the class publish a monthly paper. To raise money for the printing of it, the Sophomore and Junior classes gave an entertainment and dance. It was a great success. The paper which was published was composed of literary matter rather than news, although all class news was in it. We are a studious class, on the whole, having five members on the “Honor Roll.” In other words, our class furnished one-half of the “Honor Roll.” We are also well represented on the athletic field. On the basketball team we have Ledford and Foster; on the baseball team, Foster, Cannon, Mazzini and Ledford, or almost one-half of that team. The girls, also, are not lacking in accomplishments. There were many of them in the “chorus” which sang and danced at the Citrus Fair. They were very graceful and their voices enchanted the throngs which heard M

THE SPECTATOR up Babcock, who now has a bike, Became so lazy that he won’t take a hike. Marion Bentley, whose hair is near red, When anything’s doing is always the head The Bradford girl, whose name is Maurine, Will some day be a great musician, I ween. Georgia Burger, so patient and kind, A nicer girl would be hard to find. Alice Chironi, who has gone away, Now goes to school around the bay. Little Lew Coppo, the Asti boy. Whose brown curly hair gives all the girls joy. Josephine Ferrari, who comes on the bus, With her lovely dark eyes, is pleasing to us. Robert, a boy whose last name is Glass, If he only would study he would lead the whole class. And now Connie Haehl, the boy with brown eyes, If he keeps on studying will some day be wondrous wise. Beatrice Horn, whom we all call Bee, Puts on a dance very pleasing to see. Ben Hoyle, a freshman who often is dreaming, Only wakes up when the teacher is screaming. Will Johnson, the boy who likes to play ball, Can bat and play field with no trouble at all. Clarence Lattin is one who can mistify all, But you ought to see him when he plays basketball.
