Hut the Freshmen themselves. although they felt very important. sat with their eyes turned westward admiring and envyiug their superiors. Occasionally one would glauee over the faees of those ot' his elassmen whom he did not know, or study the teaehers. wondering how eross this one or that one would be, at the same time wondering if he dare whisper to his neighbor to sec what Flll'.lf'l'lN be was going to take. Of course as this class was not an exceptional one. many blunders were made and in this way passed the first day a.nd many other days. but gradually tl1e blunders began to be less and the Frosh really seemed a part of the lligh Sehool and also in its activities. The elass chose as its representatives and officers for that year: Presi- dent. Martha Stogdill: viee-president. Ezra Klingerg secretary and treasurer. l.ela 'R0lklttllllElk'll.Tllt' year proved to be a very interesting one and went by very quiekly. Some of the main events that made it so interesting were the llallowt-'eu party. the Freshman and Sophomore Banquet, a bobsled party, the presentation of pietures to the High School by each of the classes, and several programs. As the end of tl1e year drew near they were saddened by the de- parture from the sehool of their friends. the Seniors, but were happy with the thought that soon they were to be Sophoinores. Although being l reslnuen was very exciting the summer vacation was at-eepted joyously by all. Hut after three months were passed they were ,lllsi as eager. it' not more so. to be back in school, The elass, now Sophomores, was somewhat smaller than it had been the previous year. hut they eaeh took a little more responsibility and made the year a sueeess. The officers ehosen were: Ernest llarper. president: Evelyn Reidenbaeh. viee-president: l'atherine Dauler. secretary: and Otis Bricker, treasurer. 'lille year passed somewhat as the lirst one had, only of eourse they held a more important plaee now. in the minds of their fellow students, and prob- ably in their own minds also. The sehool's interest was kept up by parties, athleties. and programs. The Freshmen-Sophomore and Junior-Senior liter- ary soeieties were organized. the Sophomore class doing its part in making the programs a sueeess as well as the other school work. lt is onee again September. but now in 1924. The l+'reshmeu of 1922 are now Juniors. They have again assembled to plan another year's work in the olfl l', ll. H, This year they have ehosen as their guides the following ot'fieers: President. Wayne llelms: viee-president. lnas Gardner: secretary, llalel -Innes: and treasurer. Evelyn lteidenbaeh. l'erhaps the most interesting event in which they have been concerned so far this year is the Xlinst rel Show. which proved to be a success, due partly to the help and interest ot' the other elasses and of the faculty. The class is now looking forwarrl to an even greater event. the -lunior reception for the Seniors. and hope it will lie equally as Nllt'f'PSSflll, The -luniors are now all studying hard and looking l'orwartl to next year, yvhen they hope to shine as Hllll4llQl'llill'tll, Seniors,

IS THEBELLEROPHON fa - - -rn green little freshiesw slowly ascended the steps of the school building. ex- changed frightened looks and glanced with fear at the mysterious Hall of Learning which lay before us. After winding our way to the second story we were ushered into the large assembly and made welcome by our Fairy Godmotlier. Miss Mary Poe. After seating ourselves in places assigned we stole timid glances toward the upper classmen, only to be met by their snickers and smiles. We gradually became accustomed to all this. however, and after many blunders we were able to arrange our schedules and begin study. The tirst event to take place was the election of class officers. which were as follows: President. Darwin North: vice-president, Ford Flay: secretary, Earl Mace. Later a literary society was organized and as Freshmen we made our tirst appearance on the stage when we rendered a Thanksgiving program. And who can forget those Pilgrims and Indians of that occasion! ' lYe dived into the social sea at a weiner roast given at the home of Lester Burris. On November ninth we were initiated by the Sophomores at the Fresh- man-Sophomore banquet and thus welcomed into the High School. The Fresh- men displayed their brilliancy March 10. when the spelling teams were selected, as we made up the group of would-be champion spellers. XVe also participated in the loeal and county Eisteddfod. ln the spring an operetta entitled Yanki San was given by the Freshmen. Then on May twenty-third we spent our last day as Freshmen. Un September the fifteenth the once called Green F1'E'Si116SH entered the school as Sophomores and again occupied the largest space in the assembly. They numbered tifty-four. twenty-four boys and thirty girls. Although their quantity did not equal that of when they were Freshmen. they were still there in quality. The Sophomores entertained and initiated the Freshmen on No- vember the seventh at the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet and a jolly time was whispered about everywhere. Although many Freshman-Sophomore Ban- quets have been given at Cf. ll. S.. this one given in 192-1 surpassed all others and is gone but not forgotten. Vonvoy was very proud of her basketball teams and also proud of the Sophomore class, which t'urnished four persons on them. The girls on the basketball team from the Sophomore class were Oleta Muntzinger and Ruth Alexander. The boys were Perry llutfman and Leo Lee. The Sophomore class also had the honor of claiming the cheer leaders. They were Darwin North and Margaret Whitmer. About the middle of the term Margaret resigned and -Iennie Weaver. another Sophomore. was elected. Une of the big events of the year was held March sixth, when a Negro Minstrel was given. The Sophomore class furnished several Darkies and proved a great factor in making the Minstrel a success. Much credit is due Mr. Iloskinson. our sponso1'. for helping and directing the Sophomore class in all things they attempted to do. As Sophomores. we feel that we owe our teachers a vote ot' thanks for their patience. kindness. and tact, for we realize that many, many times they were sorely tried,
