Advisor --------:o:--------- Sophomore History The sophomore class, ever since entering high school, has been recognized as one of the outstanding classes of the school. A sophomore was chosen to be one of the debaters on the county team. Two sophomore boys on the football team received letters. The sophomore girls’ volley ball team won the championship of the interclass games. At the first meeting of the school year the following officers were elected: Durward Druliner, President; Velma Hamilton. Vice-Presi- dent; Carolyn Schneider, Secretary-Treasurer; Chrest Christensen, Council Representative; Mr. White, Class advisor. The pesident of the class became a junior the middle of the term so Velma Hamilton became President and Bert Handerson was elected Vice President. Near the first of the year the freshmen were duly initiated into the mysteries of high school life and furnished much amusement for everyone. The Christmas program was put on by the sophomore class and everyone agreed that it was very well given. We owe much to the help of Mr. White, the class advisor, and to Miss Linn, who helped us put on our program.

24 UNION HIGH SCHOOL Myrtle Trees In a forest, dim and fragrant, Lived a lovely Myrtle tree, Cradling in its topmost branches Birds that sang so blithe and free. Golden sunshine loved it so. Breezes rocked it to and fro. To this dim and fragrant forest Came a woodsman bold one day, Rudely stilling woodland whispers With his whistling, loud and gay. He spied the lovely Myrtle tree— “What a prize! 'Tis mine,” cried he. Then the dim and fragrant forest Echoed with a dreadful sound, And, ’ere long, the lovely Myrtle, Crushed and still, lay on the ground. And the tall pines, whispering, said: “The lovely Myrtle tree is dead.” In a city, near the forest, In a noisy factory— Here the woodsmen left his treasure, Left the lovely Myrtle tree. Then the bright saws cut it through And made these lovely candlesticks for you. If you’ll look right close, you’ll see Everything I’ve told; See the dim and fragrant forest, See the tall trees tipped with gold; For in these candlesticks, you see, Still lives the heart of the'Myrtle tree. ---------:o:----------
