E SOPHOMORES have taken an active part in the various school activities this year. We have four or five members on the squad of each sport. On the Scholarship Society we have the largest number of members. We have greatest number of students tak- ing music. We gave the Freshmen an initiation party which turn- ed out to be a dance, and we are now planning a class picnic. 3 n iMnuortum to $?iu litssoncttr The old must sit aweeping With tears from a sightless eye, The old must live on ever, And only the young may die. When one we knew has left us Don ' t ever breathe a sigh; Of course, I know you ' ll sorrow, But only the lucky die. Who knows what art or science Still slumbers undisturbed? Who knows what mighty river The dead youth might have curbed? Who knows? — but why repeat it, Or let my fancy fly? For only the young and lucky Are given leave to die. Our Jean ' s departed from us; He did just as God willed — Though his child dreams were half-blossomed And those dreams were unfulfilled. When time comes for our going From this world of loves and hates, Jean will be waiting for us Right there by Heaven ' s gates. 21

When we came to Mountain View Hi last Septem- ber, we Frosh merited the usual appellation pretty green, but after nearly a year of high school life we are really showing promise of emerging from the embryo and soaring off on the colorful wings of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior life. We organized at the beginning of the year with the following officers: Jean Cardoza, President; Grace Suiter, Vice President; Patricia Crowell, Secretary-Treasurer and Allen Baxter, Student Body Representative. We have representatives in the orchestra and band and on various athletic teams. Ralph Raymond, Billy Vorath and Rudolph Clay have won block letters. As we are nearing the end of our first year at Moun- tain View we feel that we have become an integral part of the unit of school life and down to our last member, keenly feel our duty in living up to the highest aims and ideals of Our School.
