Morrow Steadman Jeanne Bumgarner Junior History If a visitor should enter our stately halls we sincerely hope that he would not overlook a very important link in the chain of hi »h school life the Juniors. On delving into our reputable past the visitor would exclaim, “Well! well! Look the things these energetic people have accom plished! I see that your outstanding athletes are fine s'-hoh-s as well. What are the letters all these boys are wearing? Block O’s? The highest honor awarded to athletes? My. you cert-tainly have a bunch of them. Mr. Plaskett and Miss. Fifer were also te'ling me that they have a large percentage of the Junior class in band, orchestra and glee clubs, too. Dear me! I almost forgot about girls in the class! It seems that they are extremely important, prominent in athletics, social affairs, and foremost in school spirit! Here the visitor paused and mentally digested this. A twinkle came into his eye “I also see that the hearty cooperation of the Junior girls haloed 10 make the Leap Year Party a success. No bashfulness there.” There can be no doubt but that the Juniors will capably take their places as Seniors next year.

Bettie Bonner Lionel Wixom Sophomore History We, the Sophomores of 1928, entered the Oroville Union High School as Freshmen on our upward cimb for knowledge. All through our first and second years we have shown ourselves able in every re pect. Our boys composed on? ha'f of the “B” football squad, not to mention their ability in baseball, basketball, tennis and track. 7 he girls of the Soohomore class are also willing to do their bit whenever they can, most of them being members of the Girls’ Athletic Association. The on? thing which most noticeably stands out is that Frankie Meixner and Laura R-?d hav: had bestowed upon them the high honor of receiving block “O’s.” Many girls in Miss Fifer s Chorus are from the Sophomore class. We are also very proud to claim a few of our ouni's as Honor Society members. Soon we will be Juniors but always our motto will be “Ever Upward”, trying to do our best in every field of life.
