SOPHOMORE GLASS HISTORY The following is the most beautiful and wonderful history ever written of the class of ' 32. In the fall of 1929 our fathers brought to this school a hungry bunch of lads and lassies who were determined to uphold the honor of dear old P. H. S. Today we number 107 bright young students pushing forward to a higher place. We are so quiet and reserved that our dear sponsors have to encourage us to talk out and speak our minds. In order to help us in this, they exert them- selves a great deal to set us a good example along this line. As to taste in dress, we can ' t be beat for when has old Pike High seen anything niftier than the 1932 sweaters. By these and our participation in school activities we are well known throughout this city, yea, and in other cities of this fair commonwealth. Just take a squint at the Sophomores in music, dramatics, athletics and other miscellaneous activities. Why, we can have a nine-piece orchestra, a football eleven with five subs, and both boys ' and girls ' basketball teams. Stop Thief and Fixing It For Father would certainly have missed our great actors. Recently, by popular vote of the class, we discovered our celebrities. Let us pass them in review: Most talkative girl — Josephine Reynolds. Most be autiful girl, Lucille Wheeler — and don ' t forget she won that basketball trophy at the district tour- nament. Biggest nuisance — George Bailey. Greatest Shiek — - Archie Elkins, and say, ain ' t he there with the pigskin? Most popular athlete — Tubby Venters. We meant to make several other equally important decisions that day but that blasted bell rang. Now, when it came to getting out a newspaper, we sure were there with the stuff, for Mr. Danburg, himself, said it was the best issue this year. In scholarship we can set the pace with 20% on the March honor roll. Marvelous — when you stop to think poor Sophs have to take Geometry and some of us even dared to face Caesar. Then there ' s Modern Progress; we ' ve been trying to find out who she is. Biology! Bugology! You get by if you don ' t get buggy over all those big words like Lapidoptera and Pteridophytes, and mind you, that ' s nothing but a high-falutin ' way of saying butterflies and ferns. Well, ' spite of all our inability to ' splain all this inexplicable stuff, we know we are going somewhere and with plenty of sand in our craws and even cinders in our shins we are going to help in every way we can to improve old P. H. S. Our sponsors seem to get great pleasure out of working together at trying to make something out of us, so we will have to step along for we sure would not want them to be disappointed after all the effort they have been to. So here we come Miss Hendricks, see you in September.
