During this second semester the juniors became very serious when they realized that entertaining the seniors at the J-Hop would 1m expensive. While in the serious mood they presented “Little Women” as the annual junior play. They filled their treasury with the returns from the play and, with all the juniors jolly again, general chairman Florence Wright busied her chairmen with J-llop plans. The theme was “By a Wishing Well.” The gym was decorated with a wishing well in one corner while stars twinkled brightly here and there. Still jolly they looked happily toward the W ater Carnival, but their jollity turned again to seriousness when they learned it was their job to assist with graduation plans. The juniors, realizing how momentous the pend- ing graduation was for the seniors, kept their sober mood for the rest of the year. After all they will be seniors soon, so why not?

The sophomore's showed up the upper-classmen with their entirely successful election for the second semester. They elected William Donovan president, Evelyn Townsend vice president. Retail Hummel secretary, and Sally Johnson treasurer. Doris Strimback won the declamation contest and gave to the sophomores the honor of having one of their number represent Hastings in the sub-district contest. Every sophomore had to toil through the required library course which Miss Barm's gives to each new crop of sophomores. They were happy little song birds at the Spring Swing, with “Somewhere Over a Rainbow” winning them the singing contest and the prize.
