The Sophomore Class HEN we started to High School as Freshmen we planned to make a beautiful journey of it. We traveled in an airship with Frest Jackson as our pilot and had a most successful year. He acquainted us with all the school activities. This year, under the pilot- ship of Doris Hopkns, weliave again taken active part in everything. As we came to different places of interest in High School the pupils would ask to have the airship stopped so they could participate in the different activities. The first place at which we landed was the Land of Plays, Music and Dancing. Forest Jackson furnished music with his saxaplione, and Betty McConagliy danced. Olga Gekkeler and Harold Gregg con¬ descended to sing with Galli Curci and Harry Lauder. Jack Waycott showed himself such a gifted comedian that he is being besieged with offers from New York’s greatest companies; he is consequently pre¬ paring to go on the stage as a second Fred Stone. At the Honor Society Convention eleven of our Sophomores joined. They were: Annie Berger, Molly Burmester, Rosalind Lapike, Mabel Martin, Nellie Nelson, Wilma Ott, Anderson Peoples, Marguerite Scott, Li lath Smith, Carolyn Thorsen and Irene Way. In the Land of Stenography Alice Paulsen, Lilatli Smith, Elsie Lorentzen and many others showed us they were born stenographers. In typing Olive Thomas, Grace Young, Marion Olmsted and others are preparing to meet Miss Bessie Friedman, the typist who now holds the accuracy championship of the world but who is likely to be defeated by one of these girls in the near future. The next halt was called in the Athletic grounds. Here we entered five football men, four track men, one basketball man, and two baseball men. Not a few of the boys have numerals and Mickey Clark and Walter Sjosten have received block P’s. On the tennis courts Margaret Scott is becoming such a world’s wonder that she will probably meet Miss Mallory n the near future. Lilatli Smith led her basketball team to easy victory and the Sophomore girls are now the champions of the school. Some of our literary artists have had the honor of having their work published in the P. T. A. Bulletins. As a diversion for our hard-working people we planned a dance which was given at the Woman’s Club House. This proved to be a de¬ cided success. We had a wonderful time and gave the San Rafael foot¬ ball boys a good time, too. We are planning another dance to be given in May in our new gymnasium arid a lively and unique program is to be given. Next year we hope to keep sailing on as smoothly as we have sail¬ ed in our Freshman and Sophomore years. Me will make many more valuable “finds” which will boost our school along the way toward the Land of Happiness and Success. Secretary, NELLIE NELSON. — 19 -

The Freshman Class Freshman Class W HEN the fall semester, for 1922, commenced, we, the class of ’26 entered P. H. S. Being somewhat bewildered by the great bustle anti confusion of so large an institution, we sat back and tried to catch our breath. We finally became accustomed to the new ways and people. At our first meeting we elected Harold Farquar as our first eatler in High School. I nder his peppery guidance we believe we have set a mark as freshmen for future classes to live up to. When the football mentor began looking for material, the fresh¬ men supplied him with a number of candidates, several making the team as regulars. Carleton Coffy was one of the football stars. Beck oung, Andrew Bravo and Melvin Delmaestro starred in basketball, Young being the captain-elect for the coming season. Many points will this trio garner for P. H. S. before their graduation. The same three men in field and tract events have thrilled the spectators with their all¬ round work. The entire team was in fact composed of freshmen. But not only in Athletics have we shown ourselves to advantage, several freshmen have been on the scholastic Honor Roll for the entire four quarters. Yea brother,, some, bunch, that class of 1926.
