My Favorile Indiana Wriler To head my list of Indiana writers, I believe I would pick Gene Stratton Porter. She is endeared to me because her old home was located here and because some of her books are based on familiar scenes in the locality where I live. She writes con- cerning the outdoors, as it was years ago. Some people have said she used too much imagination, but if you had lived along the river where you learn to know its ways, and the animals along its banks, I think you would agree with me that she was right. It is true, she may have sometimes made her stories too idealistic, but sometimes they were very true to life. Her book, 'The Song of the Cardinal, shows she had spent much time in the woods and knew the birds' ways quite well. Her portrayal of the way the little squirrels and small animals made friends, and her minute descriptions of nests, shows that she has used experience with her imagination. I honestly believe she is worthy to top my long list of Indiana writers. NAME Margaret Hiser Edith Hoffman Weldon Lehman Richard Fields Mary F.

It is one of the best known roads for lovers around Berne and vicinity be- cause it is in such a lonely vicinity. It has several nice bends in it where a car can easily stop at night. It is rather a hilly road and in the fall of the year there is some very beautiful scenery in certain parts of it. At a certain place in the road there is a winding hill. On one side of the hill there is a cemetery, on the other side a woods. This road is not a mud road as most of them are, but a smooth gravel road. Many times, when passing on this road late at night, we have seen a car or two stopping by the wayside, but never have we stopped to see who the occupants of the car were. Farther down, this road is most uninteresting, because it has no attractive scenery. BERWYN SPRUNGER Twenty-five

Sophomores President Robert Shoemaker Vice President Patricia Schlagenhauf Secretary - Jane Miller Treasurer Donald Windmiller Class Flower ---- American Beauty Rose Class Motto - The elevator to success is not running. Take the stairs. Class Colors ----- Blue and White Sponsor John M. Bauman Sophomore Hislory In September of 1937, we were happy to be admitted to the high school as freshmen. We soon became accustomed to the unusual schedule, and as time went on, we elected oflicers as follows: President, Marvin Sprungerg Vice President, Jane Millerg Secretary, Vena Eglyg Treasurer, Donald Wind- miller. The year went smoothly and after four months' vacation we returned as Sophomores. We felt quite superior when we saw the Freshmen walk bashfully in. This year is going along fine, better with each new rule that is made. The best rule made yet is, Be quiet in the halls at all times. Our class is considerably smaller this year because of pupils quitting school, but those who are left are looking forward to the junior and senior years with anticipation. Twenty-seven
