FRESHMEN rolicking Freshmen had their first social gathering on Septem- ber 20, in the form of a reception given to them by Sophomores, in the school cafeteria. These austerely young students spent a very gay evening playing games, and there was dancing for the select few who did have rhythm. However, their rhythm was lost to the strains of lilting jazz rendered by the student orchestra, the Master Melody FRESHMEN Row 1—I. Margrave, D. Krahenbuhl, E. Lundstrom, B. Kester, G. Hartwell, 0.

youngsters certainly knew their way around a dance floor even though no Seniors were there to guide them. Yum-yum refreshments were served to all those who could stand a good stomach-ache. When it was time to go home (10:30), they all bid Miss Leonora Bailey, who was their chaperone, a fond farewell and made their departure. Dramatics is not a lost art among the Sophomores. They proved this in the play given for the Sophomore assembly. “Three’s a Crowd” was presented by Jack Schmitz, Phyllis Hamilton, Aunita Scott and Joe Halloran, directed by Rosie Gaskin, °36. As mistress of ceremonies and speaking Grace Benjamin takes most of the honors in this class. Several masculine members of this class showed promising athletic ability and it came forth in several football games last season. Joe Hal- loran, flashy half-back on Kinney’s Kubs, played remarkably good games as did Jack Schmitz at right half. Findley Upton played on the Varsity team which was an achievement of which to be proud. Basketball stars showed themselves outstanding again this year. Schmitz, Upton and Jack Bick of the Sophomore class played good games. Even swimmers graced the athletic ranks. Allan Hawkins, Jack Caldwell, Schmitz, and Kelly Kimes upheld the aquatic ability of this class. Max Patterson served two semesters as class president. He was energetic and responsible and worked hard to put over all the class activities. Phyllis Hamilton was elected secretary for the first semester and Frances Mollica for second semester. All in all, this has been a very prosperous and successful year for those “Juniors to be,” so it 1s quite probable that the majority of them will graduate in at least four or five years if they keep up the good work. We hope! SOPHOMORES Row 1—A. Preciado, H. Scott. Wilkinson, Upton, Ward, Poythress, J. Schmitz, B. Preciado. Row 2—Veatch, M. Patterson, 0. Robley, Shebelut, Stevenson, Raymond, J. Reay, L. Tubbs.

Makers, making their debut. Quite proper was the presence of half of the members of the faculty whose kindly faces prevented the Freshmen from feeling homesick. The inevitable Freshmen program and dress-up day proved that 1935 Freshmen had already acquired that good ol’ school spirit. Their amusing costumes kept the upper classmen smiling as did Denney Green, master of ceremonies for the Freshmen program. Bob Stephenson and Catherine Curtis, president and secretary, re- spectively, attended to all business matters of the class last semester. Lloyd Taylor, president, and Marilyn Skaggs, secretary, are doing their part this semester. This year’s “scrubs” have shown ability in every way. They have brought forth several debaters and speakers in the persons of Helen Hosler, rank Inami, and Allen Cleveland. Alice Ecker, represents herself as the class comediene. Jacqueline Bobbitt and Rita Sunia, our song-birds, have sung their way into our hearts. Catherine Curtis has shown ability in tap and ballet dancing. Hardly any contest could go by without a Freshman taking some of the honors. In the case of the Safety Drive slogans, Helen Jean Hos- ler was one of those who received a prize. Her slogan was: ‘llowers are lovely, but why have them growing over you?” Another freshie, Donald Axworthy, won a prize on his, “Drive slowly; the other 36,000 didn't.” Debaters in the Freshmen class have proved themselves quite intelli- gent and ambitious. ‘T'wo boys, Frank Inami and Allen Cleveland have placed first and second in two debates and also debated against each other on Parents’ Night, April 28. Their subject to debate upon was: “Is Home-Study Necessary for a High-School Student ?” FRESHMEN Row 1—Romell, Robley, Sly, P. Wilson, Sagouspe, Williamson, W. Smith, Spillane. Row 2—B.
