SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We started out the year by electing our class ofhtcers. They are as follows: president, Lester Owens: vice-president, Arthur West: secretary and treasurer, Mary Lance: representative, Harold Gietz: and as our class sponsors we chose Miss Morgan and Mr. Williams. Soon after the beginning of the school term, we initiated the Freshies into high school. Remembering the embarrassing moments we had in our Freshman year, we decided to make it really tough on this group coming in. The girls were told to wear their skirts upside down and their blouses back- wards. The boys had to wear girls' shorts and bandanas. They also had to bow to the Sophomore students every time they were told to. A few weeks later we held the annual tug-of-war with the Freshman boys. It was a hard fight, but after breaking the rope several times, we won the event. During the year we gave two assembly programs, They consisted of musical numbers, readings, and a play. Everyone seemed to enjoy the programs and we enjoyed giving them. During the first semester we had two picnics. The lirst picnic was held at Crandall's Ranch, The other was a hayrack ride to Cactus Flat. We took our lunches and the class furnished refreshments on both of these occasions. We had a grand time on both of these picnics and are looking forward to the good times again next year. I We wish to thank Miss Morgan and Mr. Williams for all of the help and assistance they have given us during the year. We are all looking forward to a successful and busy year as Juniors next fall.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Our class of seventy-three Freshmen entered Safford High School with high spirits on September l, 1939. We, like all Freshmen, were due to be initiated on entering high school: consequently, in a meeting held with the Sophomores, we were given definite orders, The boys were commanded to Wear girls' shorts and bandana waists. The girls had to wear their skirts upside down, their blouses backward, and their hair in five braids. We were compelled to bow to all Sophomores, we were not allowed to drink at a fountain when a Sophomore was standing near: and we had to enter the school building by the northeast door. We had loads of fun Cmaybe some embarrassmentj but we are looking forward to the day when we give the orders! We feel that we did well in choosing our class officers: Polly Northcutt, president: Benny Greenhaw, vice-president: Florence Foote, secretary: Marvin Allred, treasurer: and Madeline Talley, representative. We selected Miss Handley and Miss Krebs as our class sponsors. The second semester Mrs. Fees took Miss Krebs' place as one of our sponsors. Hoping to get revenge, we accepted the Sophomore challenge to a tug-of- war. We didn't succeed in pulling them into the canal but we gave them tough competition: if we didn't, the rope did. Our first real fun was on our picnic to Crandall's Ranch. Everyone brought his own lunch and had a swell time. Our chaperons were Miss Krebs and Mr. Tate. We chose Madeline Talley to represent the Freshman Class in the competi- tion for Ocotillo Queen. Later in the year we enjoyed ourselves at the Friday afternoon dances given for our benefit. We went on a picnic again in the spring when the beautiful weather made us long for a good time. Well, We certainly had one. Our Freshman year has been very exciting and we wish to thank Miss Hand- ley, Miss Krebs, and Mrs. Fees for helping us in our class activities. The Ocotillo Page thirty-six
