Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong. The school bell slowly rang out that me- morable Monday morning in September, 1923. Is this where we go ? calls a voice at the head of a long line coming up the steps. 'Tm going to sit here, calls another voice. Is that the superintendent ? comes from the rear of the line. And we made our first appearance in the best school in the country, P. H. S. We fully expected to be praised and petted, but instead we were criti- cized and treated very mean Cwe thought! This naturally hurt our dig- nity, but we put our pride in our pockets and announced that we would con- duct a meeting of the class. Well, such a meeting! But we finally got enough order to elect our sponsor and officers, and to select a class flower. colors and motto. Our officers took their places and ruled over us with su- preme power. You should hear Bus says: The meeting will please come to order. The upper classmen decided to give a reception in our honor. This took place Friday, September 21, 1923. We entered the high school that night Very proud and dignified, to think that the upper classmen knew that we still existed. But after being taken through the Chamber of Horror and The Nauseating Odor, we lost all our pride and dignity and felt quite humble. We gave a reception at the close of the school term for our sponsor, Mr. J. C. Rhodes. We worked very hard to make it a success, and we surely succeeded. It took place in Laughlin's hall, which was trimmed in blue and gold, our class colors. We entered high school this year as Sophomores. We had become ac- quainted with teachers, upper classmen and high school ways last year so we had no trouble in making ourselves comfortable. Our only regret was that the class of '24 was not with us again this year. During this year we have participated in all the activities of P. H. S., such as literary programs, basket ball, lessons and pranks. A good many of our girls are on the first basket ball team. Many members of our class have shown remarkable ability in literary programs. At the end of the first semester we stood next to the honorable Juniors with an average of 78 7-33 per cent. Our Sophomore year has been a most successful one, being filled with the joys and sorrows, laughs and frowns, hard work and play of high school life. We are now looking forward to our Junior year with much ambition and many expectations, hoping that it will prove to be as successful as this year. MARY K. LOVENSTEIN '27 Page twenty-eight
