Sophomore A ' s aP AND DOING is our motto, and we follow it, too! There were three divisions of AlO ' s. Miss McKenna ' s boys had many educa- tional programs during the. home-room period. Their presidents were George Hutton and Robert Morrow. Miss Hinsdale ' s group of girls had a regular schedule for each day of the week. The president of this group for the first term was Martha Flew- elling, and the second semester, Ruth Atkinson. The other class of AlO girls, with Miss Hagen for their adviser, Hu- genia Snyder, the president in September, and May Yamauchi the president elected in February, has been making use of their time by designing costumes for 0-Cho-San. Although we have had but one party, which was last Hallowe ' en, we expect to have many more. And we mean to be a livevly bunch of seniors in 1931. Sophomore B ' s The BlO ' s are very proud of their class room standards. They have all worked together diligently in everything they have done. They pai-- ticularly starred in Clean up week , when they came in second. At junior high stunt parties, the class received first prize once for the best stunt, and at another time, honorable mention. Many of this class were in the various school activities. They were well represnted in the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Band. A number of the girls earned fifty athletic points when in A9, and were initiated into the G. A. A. as soon as they came into the high school. Mr. Mc Lendon, and Mrs. Tyler were the home-room teachers for this class. Vocational Class The vocational class, or Smith-Hughes class as it is sometimes called, is a strictly trade class in ruto repair. All boys in this class were chosen after a tryout of 10 to 20 weeks. The adviser of this class was Mr. Glass, the head of the Mechanical Arts Department. Mr. Moore taught related drawing, and Mr. Mc Lendon related mathematics and science. The after- noon was given over to shop work of the most practical sort under the direction of Mr. Loomis. An important feature of the work of this class was the cooperative arrangement between the school and the industry. Two boys worked week about, while one was in school, one was at work. Up to the present time, we have placed two boys at the Dodge shop, two at the Studebaker, and two at the Ford. Ptige Tzieiity-eig it

The Junior High School ' HE JUNIOR high school began the year with a get-acquainted £ ( j stunt party. Much originality was shown by the various classes. Prizes were awarded to B7 boys and B9 girls for the best stunts. The project for the year w s to tile the drinking fountain in the cafe- teria. 0-Cho-San, a delightful Japanese Operetta, was given on March 21 and 22 to raise the necessary funds. At Christmas time the cless rooms responded in the true spirit of Christmas and each filled a basket for a needy family in Gardena Valley. The baskets filled with food, clothing, toys, and books, were greatly appre- ciated by those receiving them. Members of the council helped in distribut- ing these. As one edition of the Lark was given over to the junior high, the Fledgling found its way to the hands of all students. The original stories and poems were found to be of great interest. Athletics also played an important part in the lives of the students. The boys have taken pTt in most of the major sports, while, the girls have the monogram club to which they belong when they have darned a suffi- cient number of points. The assemblies were carefully planned to interest the students in expression and initiative. Our yell leaders, Bsrt Moore and John Fisher, and our song leader, Mary Ellen Foster, did a great deal to put enthusiasm in our meetings. The council, a group of reprcsentitive students, is to be highly praised for its splendid cooperation in working out the projects of the junior high school. Members of the council for the first semester were Vernon Harper, commissioner ; Frank Andrews, vice president ; Elizabeth Juhasz, secretary. The representatives were B7, Amy Kurata and Bobby Dickson ; A7 Mary Yamauchi and Shigeo Yasatake ; B8 Agnes Mae Eaton and Oliver Medicus ; A8 Helen Huffman and Clyde Watts; B9 M ' lry Alice Dwyer and Frank Andrews ; A9 Elizabeth Juhasz and Luverne Bernhard. In the second semester there was a representative from each home room. Thciy were as follows : Betty Blanchard, commissioner ; Raymond Toomey, vice president; Sybil Walker, secretary. The representatives were as follows: B7 Dorothy Armstrong and Millard Kaler; A7 Catherine Hurley, Marion Burns, Pauline Precder and Glen Smith; B8 Mary Corea and William Eto; A8 Mamie Hivner, Frances Rees, and Myrtle Williams; B9 Sybil Walker and Eugene Donnelly; A9 Josephine Ahlberg, Sam Crites, Sophia Lack and Raymond Toomey.
