SOPHOMORES REACH THE HALF-MARK PARTIES AND SPORTS FEATURE THE YEAR Like many a beginning class, when they first entered this higher organization of school activities, they were wonder strick¬ en. Everything was new, teachers, books and the way in which school was conduct¬ ed—all differed from their lower classes. With many blunders and mishaps they were given a word of encouragement, a push forward and with a few exceptions were well established Sophomores at the end of the term. Amusement and athletics were mingled with their troublesome task of learning to make the year more pleasant. Some Freshmen showed their talents—especial¬ ly in having good parties and entered w ith considerable interest the field of athletics. They are certain to bring some remarkable work to the front before the end of their .four years in the hall of learn¬ ing. When the second year dawned for this class they were showing more interest in all activities. The carnival was the main FLOWER—Tea rose COLORS—Blue and Gold MOTTO—It matters not how long we live —but how. event and some of the boys were lead¬ ing soloists in the Roof Garden Revue. What may come of this we ' re not cer¬ tain but the prospects are good. The leadership of the class was given the second year to Jean Miller, president, Carol Schull, vice-president and Dick Rhodes, secretary-treasurer, who carried them successfully through. The sponsors were Miss Howenstine and Mr. Ferguson and they helped with an enjoyable weiner roast and party held on the school ground. Their publication of one issue of the Spoondrift was representative of their outstanding ability, and Eloise Country¬ man, who was elected editor-in-chief, found the difficulty they will encounter next year. In spite of all troubles they have reached the half way mark and are look¬ ing forward to two more years of happy hours to reach the final goal of gradua¬ tion. Paga 22

FRESHMEN FINISH FIRST YEAR HAVING BEEN ABSORBED INTO THE ROUTINE OF HI-SCHOOL LIFE Another term of advancement has been completed, at least we hope it has been advancement. The nine months rolled swiftly along for some, slower for others, and it was not easy for many. As you perhaps know, nine months ago we fifty-some boys and girls started out on a treasure hunt, the treasure being a completed high school career. A few of us may never find this treasure, for some will drop out along the way, thinking the hunt uninteresting. Some may wander around and become lost and end up at the treasure a year late. But the majority of us will stay with the main group and after a while we will be sure to find the treasure. For eight long years we have waited; we cannot stop now. For a few days after starting out we were bewildered by the looks of the up¬ per classmen, but it was not long before DOROTHY BUCK, President HAROLD CROMWELL, Vice-President RICHARD CAMP, Secretary-Treasurer MR. WELTY and MISS JOHNS, Sponsors we became friendly with them. At the end of six weeks our hopes were reward¬ ed. We found a trace of the lost treasure map on our report cards. Several times we have been encouraged by these same report cards. Just about the time that the snow was beginning to fall, we stopped at a small town and took provisions for the winter. We also had a party and it was so enjoy¬ able that we decided to have another later on. After a short vacation at Christ¬ mas, we again took up the trail of the map which was getting pretty warm . All the time we have been getting closer and now we have found it, the long sought maps on our report cards. There remains now three years to get the treasure which is in reality only the bottom of the ladder! Page 24
