We were rather timid at first, and even scared when we heard of the Freshman reception which loomed before us. But it wasn't so bad after it was overg then we felt as if we were equal to the Sophomores or any one else. During our Sophomore year, some of the things we took part in are worth mentioning. One thing we enjoyed was initiating the Freshman. The initiation they gave us was mild, compared with what we did to them. We also had a good standing in athletics. The girls took second place in inter-lass basketball. Those on our team were Edna Ruffner, Martha Pio, Ida May Hardenbrook, Clara Streeter, Georgia Barker, and Evelyn Henning. The boys took second place in inter-class basketball, baseball, and track. Some of our boys who made varsity teams were Sam Morehart, Lawrence Schuyler, Lowell Horn, Clifford Gilkeson, Stanley Horn, Stanley Howerton, and Donovan Main. These boys took a prominent part in athletics from this year on. In our Junior year we felt as if we were even better than the Seniors. The basketball team was composed entirely of Junior boys, whose good work made the year a very successful one. They won the tri-county championship, which entitled them to play for Southern California championship. They de- feated their first opponents, but were beaten by the Long Beach team. But even though they were defeated, we were all very proud of them. Our interest in athletics did not keep us from working hard to raise money for the Junior Prom, which was one of the best ever given. Then came our last and best year. Once more the basketball team was composed of our boys, and again with their good work they won the county championship. The next important event was our play, Cappy Ricks. Every Senior, whether or not he had a place in the cast, was enthusiastic over it. Then on May nineteenth we ran away to Pioneer Park, where we had a wonderful time. We danced, played baseball, went hiking, and even tried to fall in the creek in lieu of swimming. Several Seniors held offices of honor during the year. Sam Morehart was A. S. B. President the first semester, and Lawrence Schuyler served in that capacity the rest of the year. Clifford Gilkeson and Richard Rudolph were on l14l
