This contributed much to the general hilarity of the evening. Owing to some strange reason Miss Price was the only teacher who possessed courage enough to face us during the first part of the evening but just before the eats were served a whole bevy of teachers broke in upon us. The rest of the time was spent in dancing. The improvement made since our last party led us to suspect that many of our number had spent some of their spare time at a dancing school since the last party. The Sophomore Class is also doing its share in contributing to the fame and upholding of the reputation of P. H. S. They are furnishing many active members for the various organizations and we have two very fine athletes who play an important part in all the athletic battles. As a whole we are staunch believers in the value of co-operation and the truth of the motto “United we stand; divided we fall.” CLASS OF 1923—ADVANCKI) BY IX)RIS SARGENT President..................................Chari.es Dietrich Vice-President................................Harold Nelson Secretary..................................Vi roinia Gueber Treasurer..................................Doris McDonald PILGRIM’S PROGRESS In February, 1919, a class of thirty-eight pilgrims pilgrimed from Junior High and landed on the rocky steps of P. H. S. Soon a meeting of the colony was called and the cabinet members were chosen. This high anil mighty body was too deeply interested in matters of State to dip into the frivolous arts of sociability; consequently few social gatherings were planned. With the beginning of school in September this same class entered upon its work with brighter prospects. Several social affairs were planned but, as before, this body found it impossible to divert their minds from their accomplishments already attained. On the morning of the second year of their pilgrimage they entered to take the name of Sophomores acknowledging Marion Rust, President, and Charles Dietrich, Vice-President. At the suggestion of the advisor, a hike was planned to the Mackinaw in May. This was greatly enjoyed by both teachers and students. These pilgrims were called upon in June to lend their aid and assistance in the activities of the “Community Carnival.” They showed their ability in various ways such as; telling fortunes, baiting fish hooks, and giving everybody a chance to “hit the nigger baby.” The success arising from these performances is well known to all. With the beginning of the new semester their minds were turned to the basket ball tournament. Notwithstanding the ability and splendid playing of our two representatives the basket ball team met its “Waterloo.” This band of pilgrims still has many months of hard work before it reaches the goal, but it will not fail in its tasks.
