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.
