reshmen Completing the fullest and greatest of their three years at C.H.S. this spring, the freshmen have set a high standard for themselves to beat during their second half of their term at Col- lege High. In the dramatic field, the class presented two plays during the course of the year. One was The Enchanted Christmas Tree, and the other was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court. As part of their classes, the freshmen also formed a Latm and a French Club, adopted a French girl refugee, held a South American dinner, and subscribed to the Scholastic Mag- azine, which they used while making several recordings of their voices. Having their hands full with work at school, the class took few trips this year, but they did take time out for an all-day hike and a picnic. Being also a very athletic class, the boys formed a basketbal and baseball team, while the girls organized a Softball squad and almost unanimously supported the Girls ' A.A. and in the spring the class also displayed their social talents by giving the Sopho- mores a party in the form of a sport dance for the two classes.

r f r n ' a ODfl opnomores A mixture of athletes, showmen, financiers, musicians and, last but far from least, top-notch students, the Sophomore class is, by its own admission, one of the most versatile groups ever to hit College High. Their atheltic ability is shown by the fact that they placed two men on the first teams of both the football and basketball squads, and that the girls of the class have several times brought home laurels for the Girls ' A. A. The class demonstrated its showmanship by producing a play — The Mad Breakfast — and proved its financial ability with its successful dance — The Valentine Sport. The Sophs ' musical talents were repeatedly brought to the surface in the Chorus and Orchestra, and their scholastic achievements are shown by the large number of tenth grade names which appeared on the Honor Roll each marking period. Occasionally, during the past year, this energetic class took time out however to rest themselves and go on a few trips. Taking all the above-mentioned achievements into consideration, the rest of College High must admit that the Sophomores are all that they claim to be and have good reason to expect to go far in their next two years.

(Lighth Cfraders Roaring down the halls of College High last September in com- plete contrast to the manner in which they first timidly entered the building as seventh graders, the members of the eighth grade soon found that school was not all play anymore as their activities, but not their spirits, were subdued by a form of torture which was new to them and which was called homework. Determined, however to show their prowess and generosity to the school and especially to the seventh grade, the class first proceeded to defeat their underclassmen in all forms of athletics, and then to con- duct a Christmas canned food drive throughout the school. During their second year at C.H.S. the eighth graders also took several trips on which they visited some book publishing companies, and many places of interest in New York. While on one of their jaunts the class also wrote, directed and acted in a mock trial, which they presented before the school. Altogether the eighth graders have very successfully completed their commencing years at College High, and they seem destined to develop into one of the best of the C.H.S. classes when they become ninth graders and high school students in the fall.
