RODEO — 1931 13 (llkss ©ffircrs David Comstock ..................... President Roger Ortmayer ................ Vice-president Matilda DeBord.............Secretary-treasurer Miss Eva Mathison .................... Sponsor SOPHOMORE'S GRAVEYARD OF BURIED HOPES Down under this in a little bundle Lie the scraps of Ethel Rundle; Gum chewing her favorite diversion To others ’twas a pet aversion. When Hulstone saw her she was struck dumb. Now Ethel chews at no more gum. Inclosed herein lies Bobby Ross, Hulstone’s path he tried to cross. Alas! poor lad it was too bad. With harps he now keeps Gabriel glad. John Graves no more brave deeds will do; Deep in this earth he rests. He tried to pass the answers on When he was taking tests. Here beneath this marble rock Lie the bones of David Comstock; This lad had a little plane, “Up and at ’em” was its name; The poor boy now sleeps beneath this sand. The reason? Why, ’twas made by hand. No more we’ll see of Doris Fletcher, That worthy lass is here interred. Once a teacher tried to test her, “I don’t know” was her pet password. Here lie the bones of Betty E. To make folks yell it was her glee; She tried to out-talk Harold D. Here lieth she, but where is he? Beneath this terra firma Lies little Nancy Lees. In school she loved to squirma, Perhaps she had to sneeze. One day she saw a worma, In fright she tried to flee; She slid on a banana, Now—rest in peace, sez me. Underneath this stone reposeth the Remains of Matt Vertin, able mathematician. His wife put him out of his misery when He put 200 and 200 together and tried to Compute her weight. May he enjoy himself hob-nobbing With Professor Einstein up (or down) there. To the memory of Roger Ortmayer, deceased biology Prof. He didn’t see the white stripe down the cute little kitten’s back. What a whale of a difference a phew scents make! Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth Johnston; She was struck by lightning while playing “The Storm”. May she take a crack at the Guy who wrote “The Peanut Vendor ’ Down here with his toes turned up lie the remains of Coach’s pup. His vitality became much less when he got a whiff of H2S.

Le Roy Greener Sponsor .................. Miss Shirley Fabrick Demonstrating in their initiation the first of the year their good sportsmanship and their many and varied talents, the Freshmen have main- tained this record throughout the year in their participation in school activities. The Snowy Mountain troop of Camp Fire Girls, with the exception of three Sophomores, is composed of Freshmen. The class is also well represented in the Latin Club, Boys’ Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club, Forensic Club, the Art Club, and the Band. In the inter-class basketball tourna- ments both boys’ and girls’ teams were organized; these teams showed decided ability during the season. A freshman, Ellis Michaelson, placed second in the declamatory contest and another freshman, Charles Cram, placed fifth. Beth Belden and Lea Mae Dins- more had parts in the high school play. In scholarship an enviable record was made with a substantial number reach- ing the exemption lists. On April 24, the class gave its annual party. As the music was excellent and all hands were in high spirits, this party was a huge success. This class is indeed to be congrat- ulated upon the success of its first year.
