15 ll flfaisii - ,gliiffiiiii lg 1 n b llmatwafm r ln our Sophomore year we gave a dance, we started our recruits in for athletics- and we learned! Oh, what a lot we learned! The girls had their hero worship fOh shades of Joe and Danlll and the boys stepped out. Once in a while we studied, and always, always we learned. So perhaps, in a way, we took the longest strides in that one year that we ever did-before or since! At last the heroes and the beauties graduated, and we came down to earth-since the reigning dynasty had become mere girls and boys that we had known since kinder- garten. We settled down, and in that year we really studied hard. Tom was again chosen President, with Charles Baurnbach, Vice-President: Helen Eberle, Secretary, and Cather- ine Hakes, Treasurer. We had loads of good times and good parties. We' shone in basketball, and found the strong, firm, footing that was to enable us to blossom out into the top-rate class that our Senior year found us. And in this last year we have proved the stuff that was in us. We started off in a pleasant social manner, with the finest, jolliest Hallowe'en party that Centra! has ever seen. Then we buckled down to football, and backed our team. We pushed them through to victory, and pulled them through from defeat, and we were proud of them. We danced over Christmas vacation, and struggled through the finals without many casualties. Then we adopted the basketball team and followed it through a straight-line, victorious season, and even when we found that victory is frightfully two-faced, we stuck and allayed our disappointment with a grin and a promise. The whole scoool had a good time at the Carnegie Musical, but the shining social event of the season was the jolly party we held on April !7. Never was a class banquet or a class play so blissfully put across as ours, so we are proud, and stuck up, and happy. Why have we been so suc- cessful? Where did we get our spirit? Why is our Spokesman so good, and what will make our commencement so fine and enjoyable? But, Juniors, we have worked hard and played hard, and done our very best in every way. We have tried to help all we could, and hinder the least we could. Nothing has been too good for us, no one too bad. With a spirit full of democracy, pep, and ambition we have travelled the high- school pathway, even to the doors of commencement: and if we sometimes worked hard and were disappointed, we can honestly say-It is worth it! D. SCHMID, '25. I5

We were superb freshmen, with all the dignity of high schools, all the knowledge that an army of hard-working teachers had been able to insert through our density. We were at Gridley then, and thus escaped the taunts and contempt of any superior classmen. We never learned that we were infantile and superficial, but put across a dance or two and edited the Mirror to the complete satisfaction of ourselves and teachers. We even got so far as to elect class officers. Our choice was wise, and they steered our affairs safely until the advent of Spring fever. They were sufficiently recovered, however, to aid in our Commencement program, a successful affair, and the first of its kind ever held at Cridley. l might add, by the way, that these worthy executives were Edgar Hogan, President: Virginia Howell, Vice President: Bernice Tennant, Secretary: Reed Grunden, Treasurer. Among other successful events that we carried on without donating a cent to the class treasury was the decorative and child-like practice which the girls of the class put into usc+that of wearing hair-ribbons on the nineteenth of each month. So, on the whole, the year was filled with pleasure, success, and even a little bit of learning: and we left Gridley feeling like Alexander the Great, or Tartarin of Tarascon. Then-we came to CENTRAL. We were as innocent and ambitious as a group of little country mice, and started in with a will to be the most noticeable and exceptional Sophomore class ever turned out in any school, Perhaps we were. Anyhow, we chose Tom Yates as President, Bernice Tennant as Vice President, Dorothy Sturgeon as Secre- tary, and Reed Crunden again donned the robes of Treasurer. fHe liked the job, too, as there was not much to doj.
