After SI' IZ these difficulties had been vanquished, they meet again only to face together the Cliff of Civics. During the year the class was well represente in a R th Buckler, a freshman, representing the school in a commerical contest, held at u Anderson. The class was represented in the glee clubs, the band, the orchestra, and the basketball and the baseball teams. This time, the Fence of the Sophomore Year was on the border of the woods. The class, having lteen decreased to twenty, climbed cheerfully over the fence and d ' ll the extra-curricular activities. plunged into the woods. The path immediately divided into three trails. One was marked To Higher and Better Things, another said For Those Who Do Not Care, and the last one that seemed the easier, was marked For the Cheater. Here the class was brought to a sudden stop-which trail shall we take, shall we all travel together or shall we divide and let each pupil take his choice, but after a discussion the class took the trail marked To Higher and Better Things. When they took this path, they knew that on the trail they would meet obsructions. The first obstruction was the Lion of Latin g but the capable aid of Miss Mary E. Hedrick, the class passed by. Then came the Monster of Geometry. Here the class needed the able assistance of Mr. Garver C. Wright. In the sophomore year James Chilcott and Irene Tuttle represented the class in the county Latin contest. Although neither won a place they both were benefited by s Chilcott also went to the Rush County Oratorical Contest. There he won second place, and brought honor to his class. Hugh Banks and Joseph Miller represented the sophomore class in a Geometry Contest, held in Richmond. Both were capable of solving the theory of Geometry, but others were better: and neither of our boys placed. Audrey Voyles went to Indianapolis to a music contest. She however did not win a place in the contest. She was also a representative in the local oratorical the experience. Jame contest. She proved to be an able orator. In nineteen hundred and thirty-two, the class having been decreased to fifteen in number, entered the Woods of the Junior Year. The first obstruction to which the class came was the Wars of Caesar. Some of the class remarked that they wished that Caesar had died before he became a great man. All the class helped bo engage in and win his battles, but a few of the class received wounds and were compelled to retreat to the rear. Commercial Arithmetic proved to be very easy, as the class had studied it in their eighth grade work. A small part of the class, who were interested in Journalism, became reporters for the school paper, this was the only new subject added to the Junior year. Mary Alderson and Irene Tuttle, two self-made mathematicians, decided that they wished to struggle with third term algebra. Both girls made good grades. In this year some of the members of the junior class were selected for the Morton Echo staff, Joseph Miller and Ethel Butterworth were appointed assistant editors, Mary Alderson was appointed news editor, Irene Tuttle, school editor, Frances Stevens, exchange editor, and Audrey Voyles, editor of clubs and organizations. James Chilcott and James Famer represented the class in the local oratorical contest. Although James Farmer did not place, James Chilcott won the third honor. .Iames Chilcott and Audrey Voyles were members of the 'tRoyal Cadets Orchestra. Ernest Hall and Mary Alderson represented the class in the county Latin contest but neither won a place. The entire class took part in the county spelling contest.
