Sophomore Class History Eyes shining with grim defiance for all teasing upper classmen, and with a strange feeling of adventure stirring their senses, about sixty Freshies, in September, 1935, boarded the long train, Learning, pre- paratory to exploring the vast realms of Education The engineer at the helm Was John Shively, who was assisted by Jeannette Carpenter, and the Worry of financial problems was placed upon the shoulders of Wayne Payton. Sponsors were Mr. Graves and Miss Bledsoe. At Ha11owe'en the first party proved quite a success, as did the Weiner- roast held at Shively Springs the following semester. Then, as a climax to the first chapter of the adventure, Caroline Kinney and Dot Strother were elected May Queen Attendants. After a brief vacation, the Sophomores, no longer Freshies Cin spirit at leastj, again boarded the Learning, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Ault, and, with a new dignity borne of experience, pushed on into the depths of the mysterious land of Education Before proceed- ing far, however, the new engineer had to be selected, and it was decided that Carl Bristow was the one and only. His assistants were Jeannette Carpenter and Jeanne Fish. Retaining their old Freshie habit of constantly clamoring for parties, the first party of the Sophomore class was held in the lower part of the gymg and again, in March, 1937, another party Went off with a bang When a scavenger hunt Was the main event of the evening. Vera Guy and Jeanne Fish Were selected May Queen Attendants. In spite of all indications of being spend-thrifts, the Sophomores, about to disappear over the horizon of the second chapter of the ad- venture, found to their credit about 32.00, which will help to further explorations in their Junior year. Now, somewhere in our path ahead, is the shining light of Future, which conceals Happiness and Success for all, Who, as the journey through the land of Education brings us nearer and nearer to the light, Wish to reach out and grasp it. JEANNE FISH Freshman Class History Yes! there's that word 'fgreen going around. Now what could that mean but a new group of Freshies are entering High School. In the month of September, 1936, seventy wide-eyed girls and bo.ys roamed into those large halls. At first they naturally wandered into the wrong rooms, buy they soon caught on. To start the year in right they chose as their leaders, Robert Long, Daniel Dreher, and Barbara Lawson. Summoning all their courage together they had their first class party, given With the help of their sponsors, Justin Graves and Ruth Waymire, which turned out such a big success that they later attempted a Weiner roast held at McCormick's Creek State Park. When time came to elect Attendants for the May Queen, they chose Evelyn Jones and Lillian Allee. At the end of the year one of the Freshmen showed her brilliance by outwitting the Juniors in speed in Typing Class. We are all Willing to leave our seats to the next group of Freshies, While we pass on into the great Sophomore seats. BARBARA LAWSON
