ln the sophomore year they became noticeably activewhroughout the school. Some turned their efforts toward athletics, some toward dramhtics, others to work on the CALENDAR and HUTCH-INfSUN while still others chose to distinguish them- selves in scholarship. 'Ain the third year of their life at Hutchinson they helped lto make the celebration of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the founding of Central High School a great success, especially the historical pageant in which many took mart.

Asst.: I thought that they would be rather old fashioned and crude, but I guess things don't change much in time, for they seem to have felt much the same toward their schools as we do now. Arch.: It does seem strange to divide students into classes like freshmen and sophomores, Asst.: I can't explain the reference to ringing hells. Perliaps we could get hold of some information by doing more research. Arch.: Let's go and see the site of this interesting old building, Mayhe we'll and something about their system which will give us some ids as. They must have lcft other things behind besides this short account. i ly KENNETH LANE. A-24Q'4g!i'f'.Q1 fsstfzsff l 6 l

Class History As the curtain opens the archaeologist is working alone in the laboratory. An asistant calls the archaeologist by television. He walks to a screen where a moving picture is shown. Archaeologist: Hello . lst Assistant fvoice coming from screenj: Hello, chief, wc've just uncovered a large huilding of some sort. I helieve it was a school at one time. Arch.: That's very interesting. What kind of a school was it? lst Asst.: I think it was one of their so-called high schools. It was named HUTCHINSON-CENTRAL. Arch.: No! Whyf, that was one of the best sehools of the Twentieth Century. Many famous people went there to school, If you find any specimens around before I come down to look it over, send them up. lst Asst.: Yes, sir. There are some on the way up now. Arch.: All right, is that all? 1st Asst.: Yes, sirf' fPicture disappcarsj Arch. walks over to desk and a knock is heard on the door. Arch.: Come in. Enter another assistant carrying numerous books, pads, pins, rulers, and other school supplies. He places them on a table. ' Znd Asst.: Good morning. Arch.: Good morning. Let's see what we've got here. fPicks up a hook and studies it., 2nd Asst.: We found lots of stuff in that old school: it's still in pretty good shape considering that it was huilt way hack in 1914. It's just filled with such things, whatever they are. flndicates a bookj Arch.: This fholds out a hook, is one of those things they called textbooks, years ago. They used to study their lessons from them---sometimes. Asst.: You don't mean to say they studied those odd things? Arch.: Well, they were supposed to.

Several papers slip to the floor., Well, what's this? fStoops and picks them up Q Theres writing all over them in the old fashioned long' hand, hut it's so faint I can hardly read it. fReads aloud., The History of the Clam of l931. The class of 1931 began its history in September, 1927, when an unorganized and unacquainted group of green freshmen entered the doors of Hutchinson-Central for the first time. This began one ,of the most interesting and profitable periods of their lives. At nrst it took all their brains to figure out the hell system. However, this unpromising group developed into an organized class which brought many honors to 'Hutchinson in all fields of activities: athletics, scholarship and leadership. This bewildered group of freshmen soon learned, with the aid of the upper' classmen, that they didn't amount to much. After they had become accustomed to the running of the school, they began to take an interest in its activities. They sup' ported them and so very soon they had acquired that fine school spirit characteristic of all Hutchinsonians. Before they realized it, however, a terrific cyclone struck them, which stunned all and seriously hurt many, but thc majority passed through the Midyear storm unhurt. 15
