Oceanside Sophomores ' j[ 'he outstanding factor that has made this year a success for the Sophomores was the election of a capable president. This was none other than Mary Dovel, who certainly has the qualities that give a class pep! The vice-president was Leon Hazarosian, the treasurer, Tyrus Peace, and the secretary, Elizabeth Burtis. Madelyn Story was elected as our G. O. representative. She has kept us well informed of the affairs brought up in the Student Council meetings. Miss Upson and Miss Hess were elected as our class teachers. We heartily thank them for the great service they have done us by advising us in our class affairs. On November fourth the Sophomore Class gave a party. Committees were appointed to arrange for the entertainment and refreshments. As part of the entertainment, a short play was presented by Ruth Hickey and Franklyn Moffitt. Music was furnished by the Royal Syncopators. As a money-making project, we sold Christmas cards. We got ahead of most salesmen and made a big success of it. We intend to do it again next year and hope to make a big success of it again. We enter our Junior year hoping for good luck and prosperity. Elizabeth 'Burtis. T wenty

Junior Class History he Junior Class of 1931, having attained its well-earned position in Oceanside High School, continues on its road toward the goal of graduation. We hope to make the school still prouder of us in the future than we have in the past. Well, we don’t know about the still” part of the class because they are the liveliest group on earth, but we do know that we couldn’t be any prouder” of our members than we are. Not only are we strong in athletics, where Stein and Gulick have distinguished themselves on the basketball team and Lich” and Dowling and Gulick on the football team, and Kopf, Stein, and The Mighty Moran,” who put our baseball team on the map, but we pride ourselves on having been associated with stars in various lines of activities. Take, for instance, our plunge into the limelights. Who can forget Tookey” and the other members of the cast but for whose tireless efforts the Nut Farm” would not have reached its height of success. We all have a tender spot in our hearts for Mathews, Soper, and Le Tohic, whose talents in the orchestra have given us many a happy memory. For pep and enthusiasm and all-round class spirit we just know we can’t be beat. We have had much joy from our contacts with each other and we just hope that in the years to come, every time one of our class members sees the word JOY” he will think of it not only as meaning what it says in Webster’s but as standing for Juniors of Yore.” .Nineteen

History of the February Sophomores |E, the February Sophomores, left Junior High School in January, 1930. We were then Freshmen of course, but we had to wait until June for our formal graduation as they had no exercises in January. And didn’t we resent graduating with those little children from the eighth grade!! Nevertheless we went through with it and didn’t say a word. We did feel quite superior, however, and were only too glad to welcome the new freshies in the customary way. In September we entered the second half of our Freshman year. David Stilwagen and William Wright, who were then Sophs, decided that they would rather be Freshmen because the Sophomores were too conceited at that time. At the beginning of our second year we lost three of our best friends, Grace Mandeville, Nelson Noon, and William Wright. Grace went to South Side, and when Grace left us in the morning, Myrtle Feist took her place in the afternoon. We had another new pupil join us on October 6. He was Carleton Chaffee. Alfred Bohrman joined our group a few days ago also. At this time too we traded some of our best-liked teachers for others who were new to us. We didn’t want to lost some of them but of course we had to. Our class officers are as follows: President—James Colwell, Vice-President—Austin Merritt, Secretary—Donald Dunnett, Treasurer— Betty Gukbert, Class Advisor—Mrs. Caldwell. In September we expect to become advanced Sophomores. Please wish us good luck. Ethelyn Tredwell. The R- i ;ne Fr- hmen T wenty-one
