We Sophomores gave a Christmas party in the library; this was enjoyed by all. The lunch room was sponsored largely by our class this year. Or course the Freshmen could not help, and last year we had not had a chance to show the others that we, too, could make “croquettes ' This year we sent Willie Hood Hatchett to the Latin tournament. We were proud of her, too. On May the thirtieth a declamation contest was held in the auditorium. Those who entered from our class were Frances True Brown, Willie Hood Hatchett, .Margaret Gentry, Mary Elizabeth Hutton, Eva Watts, Irene McDonley, Charles Dedman and Dora Curd. All did so well that it was very difficult for the judges to “pick a winner.” Two from our ranks received prizes, the first going to Dora Curd, the second to Margaret Gentry. Third Year When September came again we had climbed still higher—we were Juniors. This year we were to learn what “Q. E. D. stood for and we often heard “So much for that when we tacked those three letters to our propositions. The class officers were: Condit VanArsdall, president; Dora Curd, vice-president; Mary Elizabeth Hutton, secretary, and Charles Dedman, treasurer During the year the wearisome daily routine was relieved by hay-rides, hikes and weiner roasts. On May the seventeenth, we Juniors entertained the Seniors at Shakertown Inn, with the annual Junior-Senior reception. As the end of school approached Miss Elliott planned to do something “nice for her History and English classes. We wondered what it would Ik and were very much pleased when she asked us if we would like to go to Bardstown. On the Friday of review week Miss Elliott obtained a truck, the girls furnished the lunch, the boys bought the drinks and fruit and we started. We had an enjoyable trip, for many had not seen My Old Kentucky Home, and the Cathedral and school there. This year our class displayed its talents in music, drama and scholarship in the various contests. Condit VanArsdall was so fortunate as to win the scholarship contest in mathematics, while Willie Hood Hatchett received honorable mention in Latin. Fourth Year And now we have climbed to the last rung of the High School ladder of fame. We are Monarchs now—thirty-one of us. Of course we all cannot be equally famous. The honors have been distributed as follows: Class officers—President, Ruth Sandusky; vice-president, Condit VanArsdall; secretary, H. B. Allen, and treasurer, Charles Dedman. In Hi-Y, Condit VanArsdall is presiclent; Charles Dedman, secretary, and H. B. Allen, treasurer. In Girl Reservo, Dora Curd is president; Ruth Sandusky, vice-president, and Mary Elizabeth Hutton, secretary. We have been too busy for many social activities this year. One of the few parties, a masquerade, was given on Hallowe’en. Everyone had a jolly time and the girls demonstrated their knowledge of Chemistry in the following reaction: 1 gallon of milk 4- 3 cups of sugar chocolate, heated to 200C = burnt cocoa. Now our High School career is nearly ended. We have gained for ourselves a standing in old Harrodsburg. It is said that we have made more A’s than any preceding class. On the first semester honor, half of our class was mentioned. We feel that we have excelled in many activities. Soon we will go into the great world of experience. How steep and stony that road of life will be we cannot say, but we are sure that with our four years of excellent training, we will face the difficulties of that life with our heads up and with a smile. To help us in our strife we will take many pleasant memories from old H. H. S. —DORA CURD. Page twenty-two

holidays foi there wore a number of exemptions, but to the majority it meant days of strenuous toil and nights of wakefulness. But. when tin smoke of battle cleared away we came off with Hying colors. We organized our class soon afterwards. Linton Witherspoon was elected president, Billy Alford, vice-president, and Warren Spaulding, secretary and treasurer. As March drew nigh tiie words “Basketball Tournament.” were on everyone’s lips. To the fine girls from our class, who had worked hard all season, it meant more work and much excitement. But work was forgotten when the glory of victory was ours. The following week we girls planned and thought of nothing else but the coming week when we would go to the city, Louisville, for the regional tournament. Miss Armstrong was our chaperone and we couldn’t have had a better. From there we brought home a cup. We had many experiences there that have become pleasant memories. If anyone wishes to know the meaning of “Pillow Fighting,” “Club Sandwiches,” “Tipping the Elevator Boy” and “Finger Bowls,” just ask the five—Mary None. Kathryn Gibson, Irene McDonley, Maye Bertram and Dora Curd. In May we sent Margaret Gentry to the Latin tournament. Although she did not win a prize, she received honorable mention. We were very proud of her because in Latin not all could make A’s. Also in May our class was well represented in the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve track meet at Burgin. from which we brought home the banner. Second Year To be a Freshman was great, but to be a Sophomore was greater. We had climbed one more rung in the ladder of knowledge. No more were we looked down upon, no longer called “Frcshies.” Virginia Lay was elected president., Ruth Sandusky, vice-president; Ruth YanArsdall, secretary, and Charles Ded-man, treasurer. When the roll was called we found that twelve of our original number were missing. Before we fully realized it, Christinas came again. This year Miss Henderson had an exhibition of the things we had made in our Caesar class. Some of tin1 exhibits were the catapulta, the mouse, a Roman court, dolls dressed as Romans and the Roman camp. «4® - Page twenty-one
