THE MODULUS The Other Half ALTHOUGH the Sophomores and Freshmen have not risen to a high degree of promi- nence as yet, there is plenty of time for them to move forward. They have ambitions hke all children (Pardon!) Their ideals are surprisingly high. Some of them wish to be Lindberghs, build- ers of Woolworth buildings, and to pos- sess wealth as great as that of Henry Ford. Now, with such ideals as these, we can ex- pect to find their names in headlines — some twenty-five years from now! (We ' ll all watch for it!! !) In the election of officers the Sopho- mores have Russell Hubartt, President ; Donald Freehafer, Vice-President ; Char- lotte Lowey, Secre- tary; and June Rarick, Treasurer. The Fresh- men have as their officers : Richard Krieg, Presi- dent; Mary Snyder, Secretary; and Helen Cull, Treasurer. Socially, their advisors, Miss Alice Kline and Miss Beatrice Brown, foretell big times ahead. A Christmas party is on the schedule for the Sophomores, with picturesque decorations of holly wreaths and berries. The Freshmen had a Hallowe ' en party, and their decorations w-ere in keeping with the Hal- lowe ' en season. Numerous black cats and witches served as clever decorations for these babies of the school. In choosing the committees, Russell Hubartt, President of the Sophomores, was assisted by Miss Alice Kline, Sponsor of the organization. The groups are as follows : Social Committee: Carl Bailey, Mary Kith- cart, and Allen Meier. Decoration Committee : Max Steele, Esther Strickland, and Darwin Forst. Refreshment Committee : Joe Moore, John McClure, Eudora Stephan, and Dorothy Steele. Although the Freshmen seem young to the upper classmen, they have taken unusual pains in not letting known their ignorance of the ways of High School. The upper classmen realize this, and real ' y admire them for it. The Sophomores have a sophistication that is beyond their years. They don ' t hesitate to show Sophmore Officers: Hubartt, Lowey. Kline. Ranck. Freehafer. their superiority towards the Freshmen, and walk around the halls with their heads up and eyes straight ahead, looking neither to the right nor to the left. These sophisticated Sophs, however, have gone out for sports, and are hoping to have a football team and a basketball team that will make us all sit up and take notice. In summing up the activities of the Sopho- mores and Freshmen, we can see that they are far from Rip Van Winkles, and we have to hand it to them! Freshman Officers: Krieg, Brown, Cull, Goodin.

THE MODULUS Coin Collectors WITH the beginning of another school year the Junior class is again ready to start the struggle for existence. They always have to work with zest in order to get money to make the Jun- ior-Senior Reception a success. This particular class has entered into the money-making pro- position with an enthusiasm that is particularly admirable, especially by the Seniors. Because of Junior Officers: Meier, Heiney, Watson. Hannon, Hefner Social Committee: Jean Adams, chairman; Wanda Smith, June Deeter, Harold Landfert. Ring and Pin Committee : Henry Weber, chairman ; Harold Kasper, and Pauline Cunning- ham. Concessions Committee : Dorothy Hannon, chairman; Pauline Heiney, James Meier, and Jack Hefner. The social commit- tee was a credit to the class in this first term of school. They devised a very clever plan for the en- tertainment of the Juniors at a party call- ed the Hallowe ' en Ca- baret. A long pro- gram, including sing- ing and dancing, was enjoyed, and this was followed by refresh- ments served at tables set for four. Alto- the ambition to honor this upper class, their in- spiring efforts are recognized by everyone that confronts them. They have numerous ways of collecting cash. Selling dainty Christmas cards by boxes and selling candy at both the basketball and the football games are among their sources of coin collection. It seems to be a hobby of Junior classes to sponsor shows, and this year they picked Jack Oakie in the Social Lion. The money the Jun- ior organization received from the sponsoring of this show was a fairly good amount and gave them a good beginning in their quest for funds. The officers were elected during the second week of school. Those elected were: Jack Hef- ner, President; Pauline Heiney, Vice President; Dorothy Hannon, Treasurer; and James Meier. Secretary. Miss Virginia Watson was elected by the class as their advisor. It would seem as unlikely to have a class without committees as to have auditorium with- out announcements. The committees selected are: Kether it was considered a huge success. Distinguishment in some field is expected from every member of this prominent circle. Maybe the ideal of every Junior is to some day be a dignified Senior and associate them- selves with Senior ways and Senior knowledge. Now it is not a case of the Juniors wishing to be- come Seniors too quickly, but in reality the Sen- iors always seem to possess a degree of sophis- tication that every Junior envies, regardless of class or distinction. The Juniors are lording it over the Sophomores and Freshmen just the same, and this is just a piece of advice from the wise, Do look out for fear of slipping and breaking those perfectly good arms and legs. Take it from someone who knows. They followed the custom established by their predecessors and also ordered their rings and pins this year. But they, however, had the) distinction of having ordered their pin number guards while they were Sophomores. Page Eight December, 1930

THE MODULUS Lady Lights STARTING out on one of the busiest years in the history of the organization, under the leadership of Georgiana Redrup, President; Eliza- beth Ewing, Vice President; Marjorie Barnhart, Secretary; Mary Kithcart, Corresponding Secre- tary; Helenjane Meier, Treasurer, and Miss Hazel Cage, Advisor, the Sunshine Society had as its initial work caring for the Fi-eshman girls on their first day in school. Besides this activity, the society began many new things for the better- ment of its work. One of the most important of these is the Coun- cil Meeting which is held each month. Among the other proj- ects by the girls are ticket sales, appreciation hours, installa- tions, parties of unusual nature, charity work, special services for clubs, pa- trons, and teach- ers, and outside music for the meetings Sunshine Society Officers: Kithcart, Redrup, Barnhart, Cage, Meier, Ewing As in keeping with the annual custom, big sisters were appointed for each incoming girl, to see that they were shown over the building and their classes properly arranged. In the first week of school a luncheon was given for the teach- ers, served by the Sunshine officers. The Kiwanis club sponsored the Marine Band concert, and be- cause of the ability of the Sunshine Club for sell- ing tickets, they were asked to assist in selling seats for the concert. The formal initiation for the new girls was held in October, with about fifty-five initiates. The stage was beautifully decorated with can- dles and flowers. After the service, a tea was giv- en for the mothers and friends of the girls. Besides having the regular appreciation hour, the alumnae of the Sunshine Society served a lovely tea in the sunken garden for the girls pres- ent. One of the organizers of the club, Mrs. Mil- dred Bucher, gave a short history of the prog- ress of the society. The garden was beautifully decorated with lights and candles on the tables. All societies in the state try to install at least one new chapter each year. Huntington estab- lished its first one at Churubusco. Of course the only way to get to the big city was by the way of Fort Wayne. And it happened that in order to arrive at our destination we must pass the Wayne Street pop corn stand. Of course the girls all wanted to hurry on home, the cars stopped and they bought some of this delicacy just to be doing some- thing. S p e c i al mention s h o u Id be given to the teachers who gladly consented to take the Sun- shiners to the big town of Churu- busco. However, cutting out the sarcasm, the girls at the school were lovely and were an ideal bunch of Sunshin- ers. Each month there is a Council Meeting, which in other words is only the chairmen and sponsors of the difl ' erent committees. These get togethers are really to plan business for the fu- ture meetings, but on the whole, they are just a chance to see everybody and to hear the latest news. But don ' t get the idea that these are fun because many important things are accomplished by planning the affairs of the organization to be brought about in the future. The one party held this term was sponsored by the Big and Little Sister Committee, and was in the form of a Hollywood affair. All the girls came dressed as their favorite movie star, and al- though there were many Mitzie Green ' s and Rod LaRoques, there were some who seemed new in the stardom of the picture city.
