While peeping through the keyholes at the SOPHO- MORE CLASS, this is what I saw staring me in the face. In Mr. Guthrie's room I saw a group of busy students with a look of sarcasm on their faces wondering how they can raise enough money to buy adding machines for their bookkeeping class to be. In Mrs. Reich's room I saw a group of smiling girls learning how to sew and cook so they can either work in the Shirt Factory or get married after they graduate. In Mr. Pfrogner's room, I saw a few students wondering whether they felt like going to the next class or not. They only go to class when they feel like it Cso they sayj. Last, but not least, in Mr. Livengood's room I saw the students watching with great interest his circus snakes, rats, and guinea pigs. They were wondering when the snake was going to stand on its head, when the rat was going to squeal, and when the guinea pigs would be large enough to butcher. In conclusion, the Sophomore class, was too busy wondering, learning, day dreaming and gazing around to Gnd time to organize or to have a party to ease the monotony. P. S. Maybe they heard about my snooping, They had a party February the eighth and had fun. Those little green FRESHMEN will soon be green no longer. They look forward to becoming sophisticated sophomores. I wonder if they will ever forget the day Miss Hostetler made them sweep the floor in study hall. Despite all their over-activity in the way of spit-balls, and paper airplanes and notes fafter all, they are still children, they give promise of possessing that illusive thing called mentality. In between their mischievous exploits, we saw several flashes of intelligence. Maybe that was because they received the Key of Knowledge on their first Move-up Day. In fact, these cherubs', have been so industrious fgetting into trouble, that they haven't had time for any class activities. They didn't even have time to elect a pilot to steer them safely through the perilous green waters of Freshman Day. But in spite of our sarcastic remarks and the upper- classmen ridicule, we admit this wouldn't be a high school without the greenies. Sophisticated sophomores? She deserted us for matrimony. A diller, a dollar, they're ten o'clock scholars. Frosh Glee Club You call us Greenies but we'll show you someday. ...21-

.Ng My Our he-men Newly elected members of Honor Society junior Class otiicers Our librarians-don't they look efficient W Juniors Ready To Reign The crew of the ship, junior Class, will soon have an opportunity to continue and add to the work begun by the out-going senior division of the fleet. With Dick Bolden as captain, the Junior Crew has put its best foot forward. In the past year the members have labored so well in their various duties that they have merited that long awaited promotion to the Senior Ship. In contrast with the U. S. Navy, the M. H. S. fleet is unique in that it has co-ed ships. The junior Class being no exception, has succeeded in its journey so far only because it has been co-ed. Isnit that right, boys? There were some tasks which were strictly feminine, and have been carried out by the female division of the crew. Can you imagine a successful Junior Prom without the gals? Meanwhile, the males on board performed the he-man jobs in addition to obeying their usual orders. There are several officers whose records are outstand- ing, among whom are Andrew Gates, first mate, fwho already seems to have lost his heart on the Senior shipjg Betty Dwire, second mate, Qdittojg Elizabeth Ann Groif, first officerg Tom Shipley, second officerg Bill Critch- field, third officer, Betty Mankemeyer, chief chef. The honorary Staff members who sponsored the travels of the junior Class this year were Miss Slagle and Mr. Snyder. Well the ship is about to dock, and will soon take over the Senior vessel. Then their duty is to go out and investigate further the sea of knowledge. Bon Voyage! ...Z QM.
