Not Finished But Begun Not finished, but begun. As Sophomores we toil on. Knowing that our chance today, Tomorrow will be gone. Not finished, but begun To climb a weary grads, Unwilling yet to take the course Some other soul has made. Not finished, but begun To reach success at last. And bury all our childhood ways With the dying past. To know that when we meet aga'n When our Sophomore race is run. That we’ll st‘'rt our work as juniors, all. Not finished, but well begun. ---------@--------- History Before you have finished reading the history of the class of ’26, you will see upon what our claim of superiority is based. Last year we were initiated and then we gave the school a return party as every class does in its freshman year. Besides this we went to a grove above Bridge for a picnic and had a great deal of fun spending our half-holiday. Purmg football season two freshmen boys served very well ns substitutes. The girls’ basketball team had one first team member and several substitutes from our class. A number of our boys practiced basketball last winter but were unable to secure posit ons on the team. Two or three freshmen boys he lped Myrtle Point win points in the track meet. In other student affairs, we were just as prominent. One boy was on the debate squad and Marjorie Stemmier was the representative to the Declamatory contest for M. P. H. S. We had only the usual class members in the Student Council and on the Annual Staff, but they represented us weU. Several members were in the Girls’ Glee Club which was under Mrs. Thompson’s Page Twenty-one

direction. This year we have certainly excelled that record for “day by day, in every way, we’re getting better and better” and intend to keep on doing so. Our record in athletics is exceptional for any one class. Edwin Keltner was on the football team and several good substitutes were from our class. He was also on the basketball team for which we again had several substitutes. Dena Mast and Libyan LaBranche are the forwards on the girls’ basketball team. The juniors and sophomores were able to defeat the freshmen and seniors, so, you see, we have several fine substitutes to our credit. Several sophomores have been on the track team. In other activites we had a more brilliant record. The vice-president of the student-body and the secretary of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were sophomores. Myrtle Pomt High School won the District Debate Championship and the two first speakers. Marjorie Stemmier and Leland Wagner, were from our class. The winners of the city Oratorical and Declamatory Contest. William Ladd and Marjorie Stemmier were also sophomores. Florence Felsher and Aileen Barker were on the Myrtle Leaf Staff and one of the assistant business managers of the Annual was a sophomore. The “Rooks” this year were initiated much more thoroughly than we were, for we gave them a masquerade party so they could enjoy themselves when the initiation was over. In April we gave a sophomore party at the Lundy H ill and enjoyed the long-put-off treat immensely. We are busy now counting our days of perfect attendance and planning our picnic which will be held soon. The class officers who have brought us through such a successful year are: Rodnev Davenport ..................................... President Genevieve Clarke .................................Vice-President Al-'ce Nosier............................Secretary and Treasurer Paul McNair ......................• •......—.... Sergeant-at-Arms Leland Wagner .......................................... Council Representative Miss Frazier ................................... faculty Advisor Altogether, we are proud of our record and expect to have a brilliant history which will long be remembered as that of the illustrated class of ’26.
