Sophomore History On September fourth the Sophomores swarmed into the high school building feeling important indeed. They felt quite superior to the frosh— Why? Because they had one year of experience in high school and of course felt like “old timers” beside the poor, green, frightened frosh. In November we gave our party in the high school auditorium and of course everyone had a good time, and it was the best class function of the year. We were very sorry to lose Charles Adams, Gerald Bosch, Marion Shriner and Lois Otis, but we have not felt the loss as keenly as we would have if eight new members had not been added to our class. They are: Emilia and Jose- phine Bengoa, David Bankofier, David Bell, Evelyn Billings, Leila Webster, Delo Legarza, and Leonard Crfbsen. Our class w8s well represented in all school athletic activities. In foot- ball, David Bell won his letter, others' on the team were David Bankofier and Leonard Clausen. Girls’ basketball was represented by Alice Elliott and Adele Robinson. In Boys’ Basketball we were represented by David Bell, Elmer Moore, Tommy Pedroli, and Frank Legarza. . Block W’s were won in basketball by the following Sophomores: Alice Elliot, Adele Robinson, David Bell and Frank Legarza. In track we were represented by David Bell and Frank Legarza. Sophomores having charactep parts in the Operetta were David Bell, Ernest Damon, and Kenneth Nelson. Those in the chorus were: Evelyn Billings, Leila Webster, Hermine Jones, Benerita Jaca, Leonard Clausen, Frank Legarza, Jack St. Clair, Carlo Recanzone, and Merle Snider. We are all eagerly anticipating as happy and successful Junior year as was our Sophomore year. —J. M„ ’32 Page 22

Freshmen History 'ii? tm ■m On the morning of September 3, 1929, a group of twenty trembling and bashful Freshmen waded up to the doors of H. C. H. S. We were admitted, but we seemed ill at ease. Our first few days were spent pleasantly wandering around the hajls and the building. For about one week, the upper classmen treated us very well, but at the end of that time they gave us some orders and forcd us to carry thm out. Two weeks later, September 20, 1929, we were told to report at the gymnasium at 8 o’clock in the evening. First we were made to march down stairs to the gymnasium while they used the paddle on us. The other experiences were too horrible to be related. During the early part of the semester, a meeting was called and Miss Blosser was chosen the class advisor. As it is the custom for the Freshmen to be honored by the first class dance or party of the year, we entered into the spirit of our first dance on September 14, .1929, which was a “get-to-gether dance.” Being rather bashful about asking the girls for dances, the boys practiced with brooms. After sufficient poise was gained, a few ventured to ask girls for dances. The second semester, beginning January 17, 1930, five more joined our rank, and with our help they escaped the initiation. We are proud of our Freshmen boys for the parts they have taken in athletics. We were represented in football by John Echave, Joe Sonzogni, and Bob Swan; in the Midget basketball team by Joe Sonzogni, Bill Scholl, Charley Garteiz, Bob Swan, Earl Bankofier, Gene Gastanaga. Bill Jones, Walter Clausen, Dawson Perry, and John Echave. We are very proud of John for receiving a place on the first team. We are looking forward to our Sophomore year, hoping it will bring us as much enjoyment and success as our Freshman year. —C. G., ’33.
