TREASURE-TROVE 13 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Everyone for each other and all for the class In 1928 the good schooner ’32 left the peaceful sea Grade School where it had sailed for eight years, and with its crew of sixty-nine left for a four- year cruise of the Isles of High School. Our year on the Freshman Isle has passed. The landing was difficult and the sight of the place was anything but cheerful to our eyes. We wondered how such a desolate looking land could help us any. The most important things we learned on this Isle were how it and the other Isles were con- trolled and the standards which the people on them must live up to. As we were to spend such a lengthy time on this Island, we had to have advisers and officers to control us and show us the points necessary for a successful voyage. The advisers were Miss Margaret Bare and Mr. Ward Holloway and the officers were: president, Norman White; vice-president, Don Knapp; secretary, Emma Peterson; and treasurer, Don Nelson. The two members of our crew chosen to represent us on the Board of Control were Dorothy Bump and Lyle Reaper. While on this Island our crew gave a St. Patrick’s Day program on March 18. An Irish play, accordion selections, and an Irish clog were presented. Our tour of this Island ended with nothing more of importance happening. Before sailing, our rulers for the next Isle were chosen: president, Don Knapp; vice- president, Roy Hallstrom; secretary, Edna Borlin; and treasurer, Alberta Fuller. The sails were set and the flags of Blue and Gold were flying in the b eeze on that calm day when our ship sailed on to the Sophomore Isle. On our arrival at the Island we found the landing much easier as our fame and n putation had gone before us. Our new' adviser, Miss Lucile West, was wait- ing to give us the guiding hand we needed in our greater undertaking, that of successfully passing the Sophomore Island. Those representing us at Sophomore Island on the Board of Control were Albert.0 Fuller and I yle Reaper one semester, and Alberta Fuller and Nor- man White, the other. While here? we took part in the Mu Hi Jinks Carnival by operating games of chance and other stands. Another program, which consisted of a play, readings, and music, was given by our faithful crew on Lincoln’s birthday In these two years the crew of the ship ’32 has proved its faith and loyalty to our ship, each other, and to the organizations we represent by the active part taken in both boys’ and girls’ athletics and by our scholarship sportsmanship, and fair play. Comrades on! Full steam ahead! The Blue and Gold are sailing on to the Junior Isle. “Hurrah for the Gold! Hurrah for the Blue! Hurrah for the class of ’32!

12 TREASURE-TROVE The good ship 1931 is bravely sailing over the wide seas searching for greater treasurers and adventures than ever found before. The trip is not an easy one for there are storms and dangerous waters, however, these are made less fearsome by the ever good-natured crew. The pilot, Mr. Mahaffey, with Captain Lanning and first mate Law, are doing their best to sail the ship smoothly over rough waters. This year the crew decided on two efficient members, Anna Bevensee and Kathryn Lobdell, to keep their records. The crew have had many wonderful adventures in the past three years and as you do not know of them, they will tell you. “Shortly after they signed their names to the passenger list ready to sail in the latter part of 1927, the more experienced seamen initiated them by the annual Junior Mixer. After that they started their four year voyage in earnest. In March of 1928 they began their dramatic career by staging two frolicking one-act plays on St. Patrick’s Day. In the second year of their voyage they continued their entertainments by giving the Lincoln-Washington program. Later in the year the boys, after losing a contest, gave the girls a skating party which was thoroughly en- joyed by the whole class. The girls in that year showed that they were made of that which makes real girls, good voyagers, and better athletes by winning the championships in girls’ class games in volley ball, basketball and base- ball. In 1929 the crew of ’31 gave the Junior play. “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing” which was successful through the hard work of the cast and the direct- ors. Miss Carman and Miss Torrey. The class made the 1930 Junior-Senior reception one of the most remark- able ever put on. The banquet was handled with the help of the class by the general committee consisting of Alda White, Margaret Palmer, and Ruth Rogers. Now the class of 1931 looks forward to finishing the fourth year of their voyage with a record never excelled.

14 TREASURE-TROVE FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The freshman class elected tor its officers: president, Oscar Starlund; vice-president, Leon Hewitt; secretary, Marion Hewitt; treasurer. La Donna Watkins; yell king, Aylmer Bright; and yell queen, Mildred By ms. Fred Mc- Ginn and Lillie Peterson were chosen by the Student Association members to represent the freshman class on the Board of Control. Miss Clark, Miss Carmen, and Mr. Bankhead, as advisers, guided the class safely through its first year. The class was made up of many students from outside schools as well as from the Central Grade School. During the year the freshmen took part in the Mu Hi Jinks Carnival and various programs. They sponsored a “baby show,” “freak show” and a nail- pounding contest in the Carnival. The class as a whole was assigned the task of cleaning up the assembly hall after the Christmas program. As a special entertainment the freshman English classes produced skits from Scott’s “Lady of the Lake.” The stage setting and the costumes of the players were as typically Scotch as possible. There were several scenes both indoor and out, and different students took the parts of the same characters in each scene. The freshman assembly on March 17 celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. The features of the program were an Irish jig by Irene Trombley and Gertrude Zerger, and a play, “St. Patrick’s Snakey Snakes” in which all of the char- acters were Irish. One high school custom that was appreciated by the freshman girls was the Big Sister organization in connection with the Girls’ Club. Each senior girl was assigned a certain freshman girl whom she was expected to make acquainted with high school life. The first days in high school were the hard- est, but the Big Sisters made them much easier. Altogether, the class of 1933 had an enjoyable and profitable year made up of hard work and plenty of fun.
