This weekly paper, although it contained news about the entire high school, was published for the greater part by Sophomores, the editor being Miles Tipsword and the business manager, Billy Kellam. The paper included interviews, sports, humor, book reviews, editorials, and special news stories. The Gazette was brought with us from the Freshman Class and the class of '39 cer- tainly intends to continue with it. The Sophomores brought vocations to our attention when, after studying them in English, they sponsored an assembly program for the high school with Mr. Sloan and Dean Stilwell as enjoyable guest speakers. One of the most outstanding accomplishments of this class was a public fair, given in the college auditorium. The hurdy-gurdy spirit always in the air at a country fair was in evidence through- out the evening in the entertainment and general attractions. The day before the Sophomore Fair, the class again entertained the high school assembly with a program. This was in the form of a radio per- formance featuring the Sophite Chorus, a group of singers from the second year class who sang several parodies. A radio play was carried out uniquely with all sorts of sound effects from the whispers of the Sophite Chorus for those of a court room to an electric fan for the sound of an Snplinmnre 0112155 ' of 14532 Mya. . automobile. The program was arranged so that it led up to the announcements concerning the Fair. In preparation for the Sophomore-Senior dance, every Tuesday afternoon in the Erst of the spring quarter Sophomores were seen emerg- ing from the music room with scuffed shoes, but happy that they had made one more step toward a good time at the Soph-Senior. So went the dancing practice. On April seventeenth a lovely informal party was given to the Seniors by the Sophomores. The music was furnished by the Campus Band, and toward the last of the evening refreshments were served. The Sophomore Class wishes to thank Miss Hendrix, who has so willingly devoted her time to help us make a success of our attempts. President f 1 Martha Moore A - -ff Vice-President fx. QUE!!

Although numerically the smallest class in school, the juniors have a strong spirit of solidarity and loyalty. With a few exceptions the class roll is the same as that at fresh- man registration, and the con- stant working and playing to- gether has intensified our un- ity. We have maintained a good scholarship record, and have participated in many of the school activities. At the beginning of the present year, the juniors staged a wiener roast at the Scout Cabin. Among the many glowing memories of the evening the most vivid, perhaps, is that of an embryo Carrie Nation who completely demolished the pipe of her fellow-classman, a member of the football squad. Another class project was President Robert Carrell Vice-President john Redding Secretary-Treasurer Evelyn Davis Sergeant-at-A rms Harold Piper Rh- vr ' fp-' First row: Griffin, Fairchild, Rains, Lowry, Waters, Highland, Baily, McDivitt, Russell, Brown F., Swinford, Mclnturf.

They presented a cross-section of their school work. The budding and half-blown poets of the class prepared a versified account of the recent news, including everything from the Supreme Court to the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson. Our amateur musicians showed talent, and a French shark recited a French poem. Specialists in shorthand told of the history of shorthandg and both shorthand and typing were demonstrated by Juniors in the commercial department. On Stunt Night the Juniors blossomed forth with f Dem Wooly' Bonds of Hemlock which brought them third place. Following in his fath- er's footsteps, Harold Hayes united in marriage a buxom pair, Edward Rennels and the timid bridegroom, John Stoner. The chief undertaking of the junior class each year is the junior-Senior banquet, which climaxes the year's activities. In preparation for this gala occasion the Juniors sold tickets for Coronation and Stunt Night in an effort at least to cover the bottom of their coffers. These said coffers were replenished also by the sponsoring of the Shakesperian screen play, As You Like It. Such financial undertakings have left the Juniors careworn and broken,--but the result was worth it. What a banquet, if we do say it! Pemberton Hall decked out for May Day, pastel streamers, spring flowers, soft lights, merriment, and danc- ing! A fitting Hnale to a pleasant year. Can it be that after a brief summer we will be back invested with all the dignity that graced the class of '37? Qfsrg

It was not as successful as we had hoped for, although it had its bright spots. The next time we hope to do better. In honor of Lincoln, the Freshmen gave an assembly program on his birthday, February 12. The meeting turned out successfully and we were very proud of it. The Freshmen started a dancing class which many attended. These students bid fair to be good dancers in the future. The Class of 1940 has found it rather hard as a whole, to change its old ways of studying to newer ones. Bonnie Fletcher and Elizabeth Taylor usual- ly made the highest grades. We hope they keep up the good work. A great many Freshmen girls joined the G.A.A. which gave a greater support to this organization. Several Freshman girls that had good voices have also joined the Glee Club. A good number of the boys of our class that were ambitious went out for football, basketball, and track. They are good prospects for future teams. Several Fresh- men took up musical instruments under the direc- tion of Mr. Asbury. We hope they will add greatly to our school music in the next few years. In the future the Freshmen will be expected to take part in activities and carry on where the upper classmen leave off. With our ability in sports, scholarship, music, and leadership, we ought to be able to carry T. C.'s banner on. 5 zo 3.3
