THE MOUNTAIN EAR 13 I ophomore Histor On the twelfth day of September, 1921, thirty- seven boys and girls entered P. H. S. fresh from the grades, making one of the largest classes that ever entered. We were undaunted by threats of initiation and stood it stout and brave hearts. About four weeks after school began we met and organized our class. We all kept our grades above failure. As football is the first thing in order of ath- letics, we offered from our class as represen- tative, John Jack. On the ninth of December we had our first party which was a great success excepting for the uncivilized persons keeping guard outside the building-fine sentinel work! They w.ll sure have a vacation even if they never finish their education. Next came basketball. We entered into this with all good will, sending as representatives John Jack, James Pritchard, Wells and Ayres. The rest of the year rolled by and vacation came. What a glorious freedom! September! Back to school again with our old vim. Class organization lined up the following officers: President-Emma Costilow. Vice President-Jean Fleming. Secretary-Hazel Best. Treasurer-Carl Pritchard. Our motto, flower, and colors remained the same as the first year. But stop! we have omitted a very important feature in our play. Mr. Coffindaffer, we introduce as class critic. tYea, Coffindafferlj As something new this year, instead of talks every chapel morning, we have plays, each class taking its turn. The Sophomores have proved a great success in these activities! ' One lonesome little party marks the s0c'al activities this year, but every one enjoyed him- self immensely and that is sufficient. Athletics! Surely no one can contradict us when we say we have made a fair showing this year, contributing to the first team in basketball, John Jack, Ruth' Ayres, and Violet Hendershotg to football, John Jack, Rustygand Montgomery. As our track season is not over we cannot tell whether we are going to have stars, but every one knows of the ability of Mont. and John. Sophomores, Rah! Sophomores, Rah! We are planning as the last event of the year, a party for the Seniors. Vacation. We hope to find everyone back in his place the coming year after the long rest. HAZEL BEST, '25,

THE MOUNTAIN EAR 15 Freshmen Histor The Freshmen started out to live up to their motto- On to Success. Some time during the first of school the fifty-two members as- sembled in Mr, Vincent's room and elected the following officers: President-Alex Corra. Vice President-Junior Hogue. Treasurer-Genta Wilson. Secretary-Mary Welch. Class Critic-Mrs. Vincent. The Freshmen have taken a great interest in all school activities. Most of them are members of one of the literary societies, tak- ing important parts in the programs, and five were on the joint program given at the gym- nasium. They showed unusual talent for Freshmen and gave the upper classmen a sur- prise when they entertained at chapel on three different occasions. One of the plays given at chapel, The Family Album, was acted later before a Parent-Teachers Meeting. Several Freshmen went out for athletics. They made a splendid showing and much is expected from them In their future high school years. On a test given to all the classes on- current events, the Freshmen class made the highest average, thus proving their ability to work and win success. But the Freshmen did-not work all the time. Some enjoyment must be had. Early in the fall a Weiner roast was much enjoyed and on the eleventh of May a party was held at the high school. The Freshmen do not have much history now but they expect to have some in the future that will make the high school proud of them. GENTA WILSON, '2fi.
