' H ' Sophomore History In the fall of 1930 eighty-five youngsters with wide open eyes started on their long coveted tour through high school. We began our career in a most busines-like manner by electing Billy Fifield as president, Bud Tay¬ lor as v ice president and Malcolm Clark as secretary and treasurer. Many of our boys showed real ability in football and basketball last year and even more this year. Ernest Milburn and Mildred Ger- lach were our nominess for king and queen of the Hallowe’en Carni¬ val. We are sorry that Mildred is not with us this year and though Ernest was here the first part of the year he has not been in school dur¬ ing the second semester. When we again met in September, 1931, Douglas Dickey was elected president. Billy Fiefild made an excellent showing in football and though there were many sophomore boys out for the sport, none were lucky enough to get into the games, but they’ll be coming through next year. In basketball several of our boys played marvelously. Among those were Doug Dickey, Malcolm Clark, Delbert Fischer, Clarence Wachter, and John Louis, Although Danny Andemacht, “Plugger” Andrew Place and Bud Parry didn’t play much they displayed splendid possibilities. Then came the operetta! The sophomores were represented by Ginnie Lane, who played the part of the leading lady. She was ab¬ solutely gorgeous! She has a delight¬ ful singing voice and remarkable dramatic ability. That’s Ginnie for you! Eddie Glover and Benny Pressler were given speaking parts and they handled them very well. They weren’t nervous (much). Next came the sophomore’s big moment. The dance on April 16th, 1932. The gym was beautifuuly dec¬ orated in blue and gold. “Doc and his Doctors” furnished ye olde sweet music. Refreshments were served (if you paid for them) and all in all it was one grand affair. You know, soft lights and sweet music — m —m. Another thrill was the pledging of four sophomore girls into the Pepinellas, the initiation and the date dance. Ginnie Lane won a medal from the D. A. R.t for writing an essay on George Washington. It was a regular masterpiece, too. Benny Pressler won first place in the National Orchestra contest in Detroit. Nice going, Benny. As we near the end of our second year we sincerely resolve to make the class of ’34 bigger and better. Com’ on ’34!

' jjp Junior Class History ' ip ' September 2, 1929, was the date set for organizing the “Class of 1932”. It was decided that a cruise on the “Freshman Sea” would be helpful to all the members, so with about 110 midshipman they set sail on the ship “Class of ‘33”. The crew elected Dorothy Hodges as their captain, George Claussen, assistant captain, Evelyn Margison, as first mate. In October it was decided that an election be held to find out who would rule as “Queen of the Ship”, and Evelyn Margison was elected to the throne. The rest of the voyage was made with very few mishaps, except for the loss of about 30 of our crew. Amid tearful good-byes the “Green Freshies” completed their first voy¬ age on the “Sea of Education”. September 2, 1930 the “Class of ’33” re-organized and set their sails for the “Sophomore Sea”. Martha Parry was elected captain, Joe Horn, assistant captain, and Robert Sulli- vain, first mate. It was decided that a king should rule over the second voyage, so the gobs got together and selected Richard “Dick” Madsen to adorn the throne. The biggest event on the second voyage was a dance given on the 26th of November. The crew got to¬ gether in the “C. P. H. S. Salon” on board the ship and “many a tar” danced until the wee, small hours of the morning with the deck orches¬ tra, “Doc and His Doctors.” After losing a few of our mid¬ shipmen and gaining new ones the Sophomores disbanded with the hopes of a bigger ad better voyage for the coming year. On September 8, 1931 the “Class of ’33” started on a long, perilous journey on the “Junior Sea”. This time the crew chose for its captain Joe Horn, assistant captain, Edward Henderlong, first mate, Winifred Farquhar, second mate, Bert Ellis. Again a queen was to rule the ship so the crew decided that Winifred Farquhar should be the one. During this voyage the crew was called upon many times to enter¬ tain the passengers. On October 10th a dance was given, and again on No¬ vember 24th the crew entertained the passengers at a dance in the “C. P. H. S. Salon”, to the music of the deck orchestra. On January 14th a different form of amusement was planned. The Romantic musical comedy, “The Gypsy Rover ’ with our good captain, Joe Horn playing the leading role, was given in the auditorium on board the ship. February 13th the crew gave an- (Continued on Page 15)

Senior Prophesy (Continued from Page 9) turned out to be one of the leading women politicions. She holds a seat in the U. S. Senate. Oh yes, she’s a Democrat! Margaret Bixenman has followed her desired ambitions too. She is the editor of the popular Le Roy Gazette and what a paper it is. It ought to be with Margaret editing it. “Genie” Egelski and Virginia Baker have also followed their de¬ sires. They run a big New York dancing school from which many of the famous follies girls are picked. Vinginia handles the toe dancing departmet; “Genie” the finger danc¬ ing, pardon, I mean the group danc¬ ing. Their motto: “Life is just a dance — or two. Boyde Howard surprised us in the next smoke ring by being in Egypt doing archaeological work — well any¬ way he is digging for old relics or something. Just look in Crown Point’s Simon Musium and you ' ll see many of his wonderful discov¬ eries. Next we see Margaret Arnold and Loraine Mounce as nice quiet nurses in the operating room smiling down on an unruly but handsome patient. The patient is Clarence Klass, who was driving the New York Central train with the president, and had a serious accident. The wheel came off. Eugene Ingersoll next appears with a wide broad smile. He is a comedian on the stage, and boy how he can make them laugh. He also writes plays during his spare time, the latest one being “Sasafras”. Harold Meeker next comes through with a left to the jaw and a right to the mid-section. What a man! He has turned out to be a great boxer. In fact he is greater than Demsey. Lawrence Hershman has just com¬ pleted his thirty-eight years and knows, at the present time thirty- eight languages. Right now he is in the Somoan Islands teaching Greek. Gordon Shultz, a graduate from three different colleges is playing with the weather at Washington. He has turned out to be the nation’s greates Agricultural as well as .the finest Astronomical man. Florence Helrich is seen next out in wild Montana. What she is doing I don’t know, but there is a man with her. The odds are against her this trip. I believe it must be a honeymoon. This is her fourth or fifth husband. Kenny Linto n is depicted in Nash¬ ville, Tenn., married to one of those sweet southern girls. I guess Mar- garete couldn’t keep him from the (fascination of the south. He is in the tobacco business. Edna Roffman and Margaret Neth- ery are next seen on the top of a high mountain in the Swiss Alps. They are painting a wonderful scene of sunset. Margaret does the paint¬ ing while Edna looks for inspira¬ tions. Kathryn Meyer is noted for her society column in the New York times. She is one of New York’- biggest social leaders, and she really knows her stuff. Charlotte Houk is seen in a big building off Sheridan Road, Chicago. The building is magnificent with high ceilings and arched walls. She is taking notes for one of the richest men in the world. The captain of industry— Leon Tolbert. I remem¬ ber when he used to peddle news¬ papers. What a change!
