Sophomore Class Notes On September 2, 1929, a good sized group of green, young hope¬ fuls entered the portals of C. P. H. S., and became the class of ‘33, destined to do big things. After the first six weeks things began to happen and on the var¬ sity football spuad Bob Sullivan played as a regular and several other boys showed great promise for the coming year. In October at the annual carnival election we placed a freshman queen, Evelyn Margison. Then came the operetta “The Sunbonnet Girl” with several of our girls singing in the choruses and Peg Boye heading the list with a solo. In girls’ basketbal seven freshmen made the first squad. Among them was Maxine Woods, who received one of the sweaters they so gener¬ ously supplied the girls With. The boys had a good freshman team and when track came along several of our boys showed up fine. Then school dismissed and we be¬ came full fledged sophs and quite ready and fitted to put the incoming freshies in their places, but we lost nearly thirty members of our one hundred and ten. At the beginning of our soph year several boys got sweaters for football. Martha Parry relieved Dorothy Hodges in the president’s chair and in another operetta, “Hulda of Holland”, Joe Horn play¬ ed an important part and several girls sang in choruses. At Hallowe’en a sophomore king occupied the throne. Dick Madsen, and by the way, our royalty seem to be strangely attracted to each other and it looks rather permanent. On the 26th of November we threw our first big dance. Three of our boys played on the team, and several played on the second team. In the class tourney the soph girls defeated the fresh¬ men and seniors for the champion¬ ship. The boys beat the freshmen and junio rs for the championship, also. Now, we’re ready to begin our junior year with nearly eighty mem¬ bers.

Junior Glass {ist ory On September 7, 1928, the mam¬ moth dirigible, Class of ‘32, took off from depot C. P. H S. It was manned by nearly 85 healthy, but rather green Freshmen. Helen Burroughs was chosen as chief pilot with Tom Pollen and Jennie Egelski to aid her. No disaster of any great note befell the good craft on its first trip. The program given the night of the Hallowe’en Carnival of ‘28 was pretty keen. (Ask Florence Helrich or Tom Wise). A party was also enjoyed in the high school gym about the middle of the year. After nine months the non-stop flight came to an end, sadly in need of repairs (not the flight — the ship). Some of the crew who changed Ships or used their parachutes after the first trip were Dorothy Biegel, Robert Bolt, Merriam Claussen, Elinor Deering, Herman Fox, Anna Kubrick, Leroy Neier, Victor Neier, and Florence Helrich. In 1929 the dirigible’s officers changed. This trip Bill Horst was chief pilot with Luther Ballan and Blanche Gault to help him. Two more worthy buddies were also picked up, Frances Stiener and Dorothy Swain. Around the first of March of 1930, the crew united with the Class of ‘33 in a freshman—sophomore dance. Boy! what a night! At the end of the second flight another high point was reached in the pledging of Pepinella members. Oh gee! More thrills! More fun! More hairpins lost! Ohh — ! Soon after this, however the ship again landed for a general overhauling and many of our fel¬ low aviators took their leave. They were Constantine Argus, Lester Blank, Arthur Dance, Louise Griver, Florence Post, Beatrice Henning and Mae Heick. The third flight promised to far surpass the other two. Arthur Gibbs was elected chief pilot this time with three helpers; namely John Bareman, Robert Ross and Jennie Egelski. Florence Helrich came back at the beginning of the trip and about the middle of the year Mae Heick found her way back. Russell Pratt became a warrior of the air a few weeks later. After a month of sailing, the (Continued on Page 19)

Freshman Class Notes There are eighty one freshman in the high school this year making it and the sophomore class the same size and also the two largest classes in school. This class left Miss Dutton and Miss Smith on May 22, 1930, after having acquired a lot of knowledge. The president of the class is William H. Fifield. Mr. Mahan and Mr. Songer have charge of the freshman boys, and Mrs. Seamon- son and Miss Sowash have charge of t he girls. At the time the Carnival Ernest Milburn and Mildred Gerlach were freshman king and queen elects. Miss Sowash’s advisory had a picture gallery which was quite a success. Mrs. Seamonson’s advis¬ ory had a candy stand which was never in need of customers. At Christmas time about sixteen of Miss Sowash’s girls went to her home on Court street and had a party. They exchanged gifts and all those present enjoyed the evening. There were seven freshman boys out for football, and about that many for basketball. Several freshman girls and boys were in the operetta, “Hulda of Holland.”
