As Freshmen, they undertook and successfully presented an English comedy, “Goose for the Goslings.” Such initiative is unique in the history of Freshmen classes. The Sophomore Home room officers of the past year were: Mary Grace Day, Gale Asche, and Cyril 11 ouzel—President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer respectively, of home room one. Robert Wainwright, Roy George, and Dorothy Bachtell, were the respective President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer of home room two. The Music department was enriched by the Sophomore class. Many members were in the Roys and Girls’ Glee Clubs. Robert Johnson and Du-Wain Clayton were members of the Octette; Robert Gokey played clarinet in the hand; and six members of the class Mary Grace Day, Cyril Honzel, Dorothy Marvin, Elmer Russel, Virginia Valant, and Joseph Valley were in the Mixed Chorus. No account of the Sophomores would he complete without saying that the class Home room one, sponsored by Miss Macau ley, was the first Home room in the school to have their activity clues paid in full. This speaks well for the class for the payment of activity dues is not compulsory. It shows a splendid spirit of cooperation in the class.

 Prairie Don Sophomores A CCORDI.NG to tradition and upper classmen, the Sophomores are meek creatures who have put away their Freshmen toys and are waiting patiently for tlie glory that should he theirs as Juniors. ‘’Not so,” say the Sophomores of tins year and point with pride to their records. Scholastically, the Sophomores were good students. On the honor roll consistently were the following: Angela Benda, Mary Grace Day, Norine Fagan, Agnes Gillitzer, Cyril Honzel, and Alene Weightier. In common sense, these Sophomores also scored when they placed the responsibilities of their class in tlie hands of York Crawford as President; Alene Weightier, Vice-President; and Mary Grace Day, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Clark was the class Adviser. In athletics these students have made a fine showing. Robert Johnson and Robert Wainwright made the basketball team. Lloyd Caya, York Crawford, and Robert Linzenmeyer, as substitutes, showed promise of being next year’s regulars. Robert Johnson also did some line football playing. Socially, the Sophomores showed on September 16, that they knew how to initiate the Freshmen. The entire school was invited to attend the allair. After the Freshmen had been formally introduced and made to perform many amusing antics, dancing was held in the upper corridor. Top Row: York Crawford, Mary Grace Day. Uoyd Caya.

Jfresfjmen MBITIOUS, pleasant, and courteous are the Freshmen. They have by their determined demeanor, defied the proverbial belief that Freshmen must he shrinking, cringing, creatures. They were not afraid to match wits with any upper classmen. However, they know their place, and are wisely hiding their time until they can spread their wings over a greater expanse of activities. There are some seventy members in the class. One can see that they do not lack quantity and records show that they have quality. The honor roll proves that. Consistently appearing on the roll were the names of the following: illard Ahrens, Robert Cherrier, Mi hired Eggleston, Roy George, John Gre-more. Faith Hoppe. Rita Johnson, James Kennedy, Marjorie Kieser, Berniet Noble, Bernice Paiilus, Helene Pohhnan, Renada Rick, Doris Sebastian, Mary Steiner, Marie Suhrada, and John Wachter. In Forensics the Freshmen have caused the upper classmen to take notice. One member of the class, Joan Gilbertson, won second place in Humorous Declamations at the League Forensic contest held at Prairie on April 12. Seven other members of the class were enrolled in the Extemporaneous Reading Club, and eight in the Declamatory Club. Who knows hut that these little Freshmen (for they are small) may some day he favorite after-dinner speakers an cl lecturers? Thirty
