With the ringing of the bell, Freshies were seen going helter-skelter everywhere. But we were soon rescued by our pilot, Mr. N. H. Stull, who proved to be a faithful pilot and a jolly companion. N a splendid morning in September, 1922, we boarded our little plane for a 1153.55 ' . . . ' 23211: 4 On the plane we were given a place on the left. Oh! how we dreaded to pass over the threshold of our abode, for some upper classmen were sure to tell us how green we were or ask us if we were lost. Nevertheless, we became accustomed to the clouds and sailed along smoothly until exams were announced. It looked as though there would be a grand thunderstorm, but our compass pointed straight ahead and on we went. With the rustle of paper and the scratching of pens we passed, one by one, after which we received our pay envelopes. The Seniors showed their appreciation of our company by giving us a party and served some wonderful cake. Finally our Freshman days were over, during which we lost two of our classmates, one who passed into the Valley of the Great Beyond and another who embarked on the stormy sea of matrimony. Vacation quickly passed and we started on the second lap of our journey. This time Mr. Livingston was our pilot until he deserted the shipg then Mrs. Stull took charge and cleared the clouds away. Again the grim reaper invaded our crew and we had to give up another one of our dear classmates. This year we shared in the fun of treating the Freshmen. We felt very important even though we were only Sophomores. Another September and we are Juniors. This has been a year of real smooth sailing with Mr. V. O. Toile as our pilot. Our class was represented well in both boys' and girls' athletics and our class play, Kicked Out of College, proved to be a splendid success. Now, we hope no serious accident will detain us or mar our flight and that we may take the lead next year and carry on for our old High School. 18 .11

Our first official N SEPTEMBER lst, l923, we embarked on our High School career. Our act, as a class, was the election of officers for the year. Donald VVright was chosen president, Mildred Purdy, vice president and Ruth Plikerd, secretary. The class colors were purple and white and carnation became our chosen flower. Our first social activity was a Weiner roast held at Deep Cut. This proving a success, we gave a hallowe'en party in the school laboratory. Later we took part in a high school party given in honor of the Basket Ball boys. Our Sophomore year began with the addition of five new classmates. We were by this time full fledged students of S. H. S. Our officers for the year were chosen: Mary Kleinoeder, Presidentg Samuel Koenig, Vice Presidentg Walter King, Secretary. Wei gave a Weiner roast for the Freshmen at the Ramsey home. The night chosen was very cloudy but nevertheless we completed the journey. Things were going quite well when the clouds, which had been threatening all day, began to pour upon ourselves and the fire a deluge of rain. All beat a hasty retreat to the house where the rest of the evening was spent. A few weeks later we were guests of the Freshmen at a weiner roast at Peggy's lnn. After this, followed weeks of consecutive study, broken occasionally by chapel programs, a Christmas entertainment and Basket Ball games. We contributed. a number of athletes to the School, who have helped to uphold the honor of S. H. S. in those activities. We have a number of able readers who have shown their ability along that line in the Oratorical Contest. Our class afforded the High School cheer leader, Milton Hullinger and the star candy sellers, Mildred Purdy and Ruth Plikerd. The High School Base Ball team consisted chiefly of Sophomores. YVe have a number of promising track stars. We are looking forward to a prosperous Junior year. 20
