June 1937 The Petrolia Page 25 Sophomore Society News VACATION VS. EXAMS W h e n Christmas vacation at last arrived, it was as welcome as is a much-anticipated birthday to a child. With the true yuletide spirit, Margaret A n n Ellestad, Agnes Falenzer. Wayne Harrold. Don Gilman, Lester Bell and Inez Dudney gleefully celebrated the rest from classes, almost forget- ting that mid-term examinations followed the holidays. When the students returned from their frol- ic to face the tests that the teach- ers had carefully prepared for them; they realized that you can ' t have your cake and eat it, too. DODGING CHALLENGES Quick dodging has been the motto of Fay Fultz, Mack Elwood and Lillian Hicks in the past year to avcid all challenges of mental supremacy thrown at the m by those students who have been trying to bring up their own grades. One student in particular who has been striving dil ' gently to ob- tain better grades if Halford Pel low. Clyde Spillman listened car- fuliy to Hi Isctures ias did all the sophomores), and took earn that all shots against the others were fair. But. he should remem- ber that. All ' s fair in love and war — and scholarship, too. At any rate the sophomores have worked hard throughout the year of 1936-37 so that the upper classmen would not consider their rating as 3 for 5c ' a n d leave them nut of things. % 5 for J? ,

Page 26 The Petrolia June 1937 BLUES RACES Sophomore students of Coalin- ga Union High School raced their troubles away during the spring semester at the thought that the final examinations would soon be over, and summer vaca- tion begun. Charles Reyner and Dorothy Lathrop are shown here sitting on the fence cheering while Walter McNeil, Manning Bogue, Vivian Dickinson, Grace R u c k e r, and Ruby Grooms race away their cares to the tune of Homework Blues . DANCING CLASS Spring on the Coalinga High School campus this year not only brought showers, low grades, and irritated teachers; but it was al- so an excellent opportunity for students with vim and vigor to display their various talents. Verna Hanst, who won a prize for the best dance at the Girls ' Athletic Association Frolic, was well-qualified to exhibit the latest dance creations to some of her intimate friends. Verna ' s performance occurred near a shady palm tree, while Morris Kabl. John Myers, Bill Chamberlain, and Bob Smith watched with awe and admira- tion. Mildred Page, Mattie Tris- dale, Aileen Mabrey, Barbara Hartsook, and Cherrie Tripp ob- served her every movement with the utmost attention in order that they might better develop their own poise and charm. MOTORING AND FISHING Bill Kirkpatrick, Gordon Mac- Lean, Ralph Whitener, and Lucille Harrison apparently took an easy ride through school on a borrow- ed motor boat. Vernal Phelps, who sat patient- ly on the bank fishing in the brook of knowledge, is still sitting, with not infrequent bites and nibbles.
