Sophomore A GEORGE RAY, President WAYNE DAVIDSON, Vice-President PAUL RONNFELDT, Secretary and Treasurer Did you ever climb to Half-Way House on Pikes' Peak? Did you try to go farther? We Sophomores may exult in the fact that we have reached the half-way house in our four year climb to the summit of Seniorship. We have learned that the climb was hard and far from being over. Yet this knowledge will help us in the climb of the two years that are to come. Many a one has started to climb to Half-Way House, but has found the grade so steep that he has turned back and given up the attempt. But by doing so he not only missed the pleasure of the climb and the satisfaction of knowing that he had reached the top, but weakened his will power and determination to accomplish the feat. So it is with many of us in high school. We give up because of some temporary discou1'agement, and forfeit the reward of becoming a high school graduate. Let us Sophomores make the resolution that we will pull together and stick to it so that in the end we may feel that we have profited by the climb to Seniorship and graduation. RUPERT STITT.

Junior B GUY MCCUTCHAN, President MARGARET ROENFELDT, Along the way of life we've passed Until we Junior B's have cast Some more, some torn, and learned books Along the shores of traveled brooks. Streams we ride are all of knowledge And flow up hill, up hill to college, But in that water so dark and thin There is sedirnent-the papers and pens. But what care we? Our craft is strong And as we guide that craft along We pick up wisdom, laughter, and fun. The rest is bad-the bad we shun. The craft we have is not so wee But what it carries fifty-three, And Guy McCutchan a hand has lent To be our honored president. BUELAH WILSON, Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer When he, the cap, goes out to shore, The crew is run well evermore For Buelah Wilson, President-Vice, Gives out his orders very nice. Margaret R. takes cash and note Of just what happens on our boat. She keeps a reco1'd of our class Of all we do and comes to pass. Tho social functions few we've had We Junior B's don't feel so bad For what we have is best there is And ranking high-why that's our bizz Cheerfully and not otherwise Determined in our enterprise We work to make materialize The best from which you recognize The Junior B's -Milfred Mehring

Sophomore B DICK DAVIS, President EUNICE ANDERSON, Vice-President AGNES BELL, Secretary and Treasurer V Our class has now successfully passed by the first of the rapids in the turbulent river of Learning, that of the suspicious, fearful freshman. Now, in our Sophomore year, we find that in breasting the current few of our members have been sweptback. On the contrary, by picking up a few earlier adventurers, whose floating power had drifted them back to us, our original quota of about seventy-five has swelled to near the century mark. Our first year of High School was not marked by any great social splashes, since only one gathering was held in the gymnasium. Mild weather prevented the holding of ice-skating parties as we had planned. Those members who joined the High School football and basket ball teams held their own in the fight, and the Freshman Basket Ball Team proved itself by defeating the Seniors in the class tournament. This year our staff of officers has changed and, noting the names, we feel sure that they are capable of controlling even this large class, and of setting an example for speed and pep. The following officers were elected: Dick Davis, President, Eunice Anderson, Vice-President, Agnes Bell, Secretary and Treasurer. FRANK ALEXANDER.
