1L-1 FRESHMEN In September 1929, this Freshman Class entered the Senior High School, nervous and excited! At first we felt entirely out of place but later became acclimatized. The class was organized, and all during the semester, we worked very hard. When exam¬ inations came, only a few failed, but those who did are endeavor¬ ing to make up for it. We are still struggling to become “Sophs.” THE FRESH IES Behold! Behold! We’re Freshmen bold, Just out of Junior High, And we can’t rate, the Senior state But must act humble and shy. We look upon the Seniors, As something of golden lust, And we use all our guiles That won’t be of greatest disgust. They’ve given us the nickname of “Ye darn little rats,” They mock and laugh behind our backs, They stick up their noses when a “freshie” goes by, And make all sorts of wise cracks. But in spite of this we’re full T f bliss. That we’ve entered old Hopewell High. And we’ll work and we’ll fight, For what we think is right. And our motto shall be “Do or die.” ' K {» 2H-2 SOPHOMORES The 2H-2 Class has really begun to assume the share of the responsibility for making Hopewell High School one of the best in the state. They led in the school selling tickets for the min¬ strel, and one of our boys, Otis Thompson, won the individual prize for selling more tickets than any other person. Everyone pays his dues promptly in our class. We have the best class basketball team in the school, winning the games from both the Juniors, Seniors and Freshmen. $ $ 2L-1 SOPHOMORES Our class has succeeded in practically every project we have attempted this term. At the beginning of the term we put on a drive for uncollected dues and the result was excellent. We were very fortunate this year in having efficient officers and teachers who showed much patience with us. The students in our room worked very hard this term and the scholastic standing is good.

In scholastic standing one of our members, Cecelia Kruger, has been outstanding as an A-B student for both semesters. Arline Poland and Wanona Glenn are also honor students. Our big project for the year has been to raise our class quota to meet the necessary expenses for the Junior-Senior Reception. The officers who have served us faithfully in carrying on our year’s work are: First Semester: George Lescure, presi¬ dent ; Louis Aderholt, representative; Arline Poland, secretary- treasurer. Second Semester—Murry Oliver, president; Isabelle Futch, representative; Cecelian Kruger, secretary-treasurer. 2H-1 SOPHOMORES The 2H-1 Class in the midst of its good times and studies has found time to help others. At Thanksgiving they carried a basket of food to a needy family. At Christmas the girls dressed dolls and packed a box for the Salvation Army. Also the Liter¬ ary Digest and several other books were presented to the school library. Again they distributed May baskets to the various rooms. They assisted the Senior Class by selling candy and presenting the Hollywood Revue for the Annual fund. In a far- reaching activity they had printed and gave to each pupil in school a copy of the school cheers and songs. The “Kaleidoscope” staff appreciates a great deal all that this class 2H-1 has done for them. The staff wishes them suc¬ cess in all of their undertakings. H H H 1H-1 FRESHMEN We, the 1H-1 section of the class of 1934 came into high school with a membership of 34. During the term one member fell by the way-side. We have spent this first term of our high school career in finding ourselves. We are anticipating great achievements during the next three years. Page Twenty-Six

6H-1 JUNIOR HIGH We are the largest class in school and yet we stand at the top when it comes to cooperation in all school affairs, thanks to MissJBrockley for quietly leading us on to victory. Our class is a very large one, but we have lots of fun. It’s full of children good and shy—and boy, we forty children try to do our very, very best, and let the teacher do the rest. I think that that’s the way to do—come, tell me Seniors, don’t you? ❖ 7H-1 JUNIOR HIGH We are seniors too (of Junior High), and with Mrs. Kegley as our leader we will surely win! We have lived up to our ideal, that is a 100 per cent response to all calls for cooperation in school. We are happy to have this opportunity of contributing to our Annual. We presented a basket to the charity association. We gave Mrs. Kegley a surprise party and a lovely wedding present. We have a class library which furnishes us recreation during our study periods. 7H-2 JUNIOR HIGH Stop! Look! Listen! When we reach Senior High we will accomplish great things! We have paved the way ourselves. Our response has been 100 per cent for every good cause that asked cooperation. We were the first to pay for this space in our Annual. At Christmas we gave charity baskets to the needy. We contributed $1.50 for the victrola and 50 cents for a basket¬ ball. We are proud of our room and we thank Miss Parsons for it. Thanks to the Home Rooms This annual has been made possible through the cooperation of all these Home Rooms represented here. The staff appre¬ ciates this hearty cooperation and also the liberal contributions. By having these write-ups from the various classes our Annual seems to belong to the whole school, rather than just to the Senior Class. Our aspiration has been to make this book a Senior Class project but the product of all the classes and acti¬ vities in the school. Page Twenty-Eight
