JUNIOR CLASS REPORT One day in September soon after school began, the Juniors met to elect the class officers. Floyd Bartlcttc was elected president; Lillian Kingsley, vice-president; George Wells, secretary; and Herbert Hazlcdine, treasurer. Later on in the fall we gave our sister class, the Freshmen, a hike which we feel was enjoyed by both classes. We left Spring Arbor about 3:30 and hiked about a mile to our destination. The weather was excellent for our outing. We played games until the call came for dinner, and after sitting around the campfire for a while, we started home. On a bright autumn day, the Juniors walked to Spring Arbor Lake to take snaps for the Echo. Some snaps were taken which called for some climbing trees and tumbling. What fun we had! We arrived in Spring Arbor just in time for dinner. We met again a little before the close of the First Semester for the purpose of electing officers for the Second Semester. We chose Theodore J. Wemette for our president, Ardath Case for vice-president, George Wells was re-elected secretary, and Helen McDonald was elected treasurer. Shortly after the beginning of the Second Semester, we decided that we wanted a sleigh-ride; but the snow failed us, and we were compelled to use a truck. Mr. and Mrs. Van Dorn supplied the truck and also gave us their home for a place of entertainment. We went to Albion and back and then drove to the Van Dorns. Upon our arrival, we gave a lusty cheer for the Van Dorns, to whom we arc indebted for many of our good times during our three years of High School in Spring Arbor. Then we played some exciting games until it was time to cat. Our refreshments were very appetizing, and I am sure that no one went home hungry. A glance at our watches showed us that we must be starting on our trip homeward. The winter air was very cold, indeed, and caused us to pull our collars up around our faces. Amid much cheering and eating of peanuts we arrived in Spring Arbor just as the 10:30 bell rang. On February 8, we were told that it was the birthday of our faculty adviser, Mrs. Brown. So we thought we would surprise her with a little party. She met us at the door with an exclamation of amazement. We had a very jolly time with our ever-loyal adviser, and it was a party worth remembering. We, the Juniors, are now looking forward to the time when we shall entertain our higher classmen, the Seniors. We hope that our Reception will prove to be a success and that it will be enjoyed by all. We are also looking forward to the day when we as the Senior Class of ’33 shall receive our diplomas, although our hearts will be saddened at the thought of bidding farewell to our friends, with whom we spent many happy hours of our high school years in Spring Arbor.

SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT Wc arc aware that the meaning cf the word sophomore,” as derived from the Greek, is wise-foolish. The first part is what wc try to be in school—wise and studious. The second, however, is all wrong from our point of view. But wc arc fun loving and always ready for a good time. As wc were just green frcshics” last year, and, as Gray has said: Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play, No sense have they of ills to come, No care beyond to-day, you might not have thought us able to make good choices. In spite of this, wc made no mistake when wc selected Professor and Mrs. LaDuc as honorary members, and as Sophomores wc have appreciated their friendship and help. For class presidents this year wc chose Vera Justice and Ralph Lowell. School life is often brightened by various class and inter-class events. Last fall at the invitation of the Seniors, our sister class, wc spent an enjoyable evening in the woods where we forgot our troubles and worries of the classroom. Plenty of fun was had in the afternoon but play was readily suspended when supper was announced. When the evening repast was finished, games were played around the camp-fire, and wc all returned to report a good time. On March 22nd, with a full moon and a cloudless sky to aid us, wc outfitted a sleigh—of course, not forgetting the horses—and set out into the country a jolly crowd. The hospitality of the Mudgc home, with doughnuts and steaming coffee, made the evening complete. When wc were Freshmen wc thought wc knew everything. Now that we arc Sophomores, we begin to think that we don’t know so much. If this store of knowledge keeps on decreasing, wc may come to realize, when Seniors, that we don’t know anything. However, we hope it won’t be that bad. With the printing of this report, the class of ’34 pauses at the half-way place in high school life. May our number increase as the years advance, and may our loyalty to the school wc love never grow less. RALPH LOWELL. Fuye Thirty-nine
