SOPHOMORES The sophomore class, with fifty members this year is trying to carry out Its motto. Step by step, we gain the heights. and is steadily growing. The fallowing have a high scholastic standing in the school: Hazel Hathaway. Cecilia Stadler, and Fred Bishop. The sophomores have shown a keen interest in all activities. Lorraine Wiscombe has contributed her services to the dramatic club, and both Ida Marie Shepard and she have made a reputation for their clever and original project work. As a whole, the two classes have proved valuable assets to the school and on them we place our faith for the future years in Highland Park High School. When the faculty and upperclassmen view the one hundred and twenty advancing younger students, they feel certain that the school is going to forge ahead in the future, and will not merely maintain old standards but establish many new and higher ones.

After careful planning and much financial conjuring, the juniors were hosts at what was considered one of the most outstanding events of its type — the Junior-Senior Prom. The seniors were delightfully surprised when they learned the banquet was to be at the White Lakes Golf Club, and were highly entertained by the novel radio broadcasting theme, carried out in the decora- tions and toasts. The juniors have written well three chapters of their high school history. They have come to the beginning of the end. They hope to be able to write a splendid, exciting conclusion to their story a year from now.
