In the fall of 28 the present junior class assembled at Leyden to begin its long hard journey. At its first meeting this group boasted the largest freshman class yet in the history of Leyden—eighty thiee. That number has now dwindled to aoout forty. During the last school year the class lost many; including Max Luber, Henry Schmidt, George Neuzil, Virginia Henry, Ruth Keonig, Bernice Wallin. Gudrun Jensen, Ethel Blume, Edward Meyer, Eva Lourie, Adeline Boldt, La Verne Lukner, John Redding, Herman Roth-felder, and George Biadof. The gain in members was few: Wilbur Patzer, James Kinsey, John Speeht, and Leonard McKay. The juniors are proud of their leaders. William Riley is president of the class, Irvin Cimo-chowski, vice president, and Fred Korosy, sec-retary-treasurer. Cornelius O’Grady and Blanche Mahler were the class representatives in the Student Council. Miss Lowe and Mr. Stark have successfully guided the class for three years. The juniors have played a brg part in the music department. Practically all were enrolled in glee club, band, or onchestra. There were a few boys who were interested in jazz. Charles Herzberg won second place in the solo contest at Morton High School. This afforded him the opportunity to journey to Champaign to participate there. Many students w'ere interested in journalism. Sixteen were members of the Maroon and White staff. Friday, November 7 was the junior play night. It was a big success. By taking part in “A Lucky Break” the students were eligible for membership in the Dramatic Club. All were enthusiastic members and proud possessors of the club pin. The proceeds of the play we:e used entertaining the seniors at the Junior-Senior prom on Monday, June 1. Juniors were generally leaders on the honor loll. Practically every five weeks period found the class in the lead. Two members were on it throughout the entire year, Blanche Mahler and Evelyn Draper. Many junior boys will be found in the squad lists of the various sports. Thus we find that the junior class plays a part in Leyden’s activities. We are striving to creditably fill the places of those who have gone before us and we have every hope of succeeding. We are now ready for our final step— our senior year.

WE SOPHOMORES Sophomore are about to pass Into the junior grade or cla-ss, But the year, about to end for us, Will probably be the best of all, And history will the story tell Of a class that did its wotk so well, Thai juniors proud or seniors bold Will never dare to have it told, That Sophomoies of year thirty-thiee Are not the good class they seem to be. On September 2, 1030, the sophomore class was organized with 85 students. As sophomoies, the class gained the most new members. Margaret Alleman came from Westport High School in Kinsas City; Arthur Costello. St. Mels High School, Chicago; Edna Racine Austin High School; and Chester Sieloff, Arlington Heights High School. In the middle of the year. Jean Rothrock came from Austin High School. The cfheers were as follows: President—Reger Burriil. Vice-Pres.—Bob Riley. Secretary—Lenora Kolo. Treasurer—Sophie Egnatchek. Student Council—Virginia Brinke and Leioy Anderson. Ruth Bade, Lydia Kirmse, Roger Burriil, Julia Kyriazopulus, and Virginia Brinke represent the class on the Maroon and White Staff. At the first of the year home Room 1 challenged the three other sophomore home rooms to a contest. The winner of the contest was to be fir.-t in banking and have a minimum in tardiness. It was agreed that the winning room would be guests at a party. Home Room 1 was the winner. There was a basketball tournament and ice cream was served. The play, “Nevertheless was given in assembly so as to give students wishing to be in the Dramatic Club a chance to enter. The cast was as follows: the robber, Warren Parish; the girl, Virginia Brinke; the boy, Janies Feeney. These students are now members of the Dramatic Club. The sophomore girls' cooking classes are making rapid progress under the direction of Miss Lowe. All social affairs we have had at Leyden have been successes because the refreshments were made by sophomore cooks. The sophomore girls' Glee Club cont.dbuted to the singing of the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover.'' Evelyn Behnke was the accompanist. Roger Burriil, an outstanding athlete, was on the football and basketball teams. He has scored many touchdowns and made many baskets. Amenson, Anderson, Brodkorb, Liebke, Pankonin, Pederson. Rasmussen, Rodgers, Seizure and Steingraber are other sophomo;c athletes.
