The class was organized in September, 1929. At its first meeting, it succeeded in interesting a large number of the group. The class displayed much enthusiasm by attending the activities for that year, namely: the Freshman Acquaintance Dance, Christmas Dance, and Farewell Dance. The spirit after that semester did not waiver, and the class continued to carry on with success, but it was surpassed by their colorful and cheerful Hallowe'en Dance. Their opening welcome dance was the gala affair of this year. It was a faculty- sophomore dance, given for the purpose of acquainting and promoting friendship be- tween the professors and the sophomore students. It may readily be said that the sophomore class is showing much school spirit. It is aggressive and successful in all its undertakings. 112
