SUN PEP Pep! Who are the peppiest members of the high school? The pupils one may reply, who are seen on the football field or in basketball trunks. Again, who else if not those who are represented in the school clubs and societ- ies. Think of the Bonhi members and those selected few who were permitted to become members of the Quill and Scroll. Must they not have displayed school spirit to merit this privilege! We also must not forget the debaters who, if successful, eventually become Wranglers, Is not the most vital necessity of a school's life the pep of its members? Are 1'lOt the peppy members those who bring the school to fame? Let the cry of the students be: Pep and more of it! Dorothy Jacoby '31. Transformation Strolling down to the scene of the practice sessions for spring football, an in- active spectator is amazed to see such an amount of energy displayed. Prob- ably the most surprised would be the teachers who have seen these same boys in school but an hour before, drowsing over a text book, or gazing languidly out of the window, visualizing sparking streams or thinking hungrily of the cool interior of the corner drug store. This amazing transformation from languorous, sleepy inactiveness in the school room, to such a scene of activity, makes the one on the side lines, who has such an attack of spring fever that every morning calls upon his strength, envy those on the field, who unmindful of the heat, seem to be having a great time in the glare of the hot sun. -William Wolpli '31, Another school year has run its course and the end of the semester witness- ed the completion of the third year of high school life for the class of 1931. The yearbook offers an ideal opportunity to give to the readers a summary of the history of this class, and their work for the past three years. Our Record! Since the night on which they were initiated into the ranks of the high school as bona fide members of Saint Wendelin's, they have labored continually at their studies and given their hearty cooperation to all the activities of their school life. The institution of the Wranglers club in 1929 by the Reverend J. Duffy, was aided by the students and the largest portion of its membership was com- posed of the classmen of'3l. Another major event of their scholastic career was the editing of the first, and so far, only sophomore issue of the WENDELETTE. When the subscrip- tion contest for the first edition of the FROSLIN began every student of the class contributed his bit towards swelling the grand total which made the first year-book a financial and journalistic success. After the start of their junior year in school every member of the class set- tled down in earnest to the tasks before him, with the extra duties and work that comes in the higher classes of high school. Now the curtain is about to drop upon another school year and to rise next September on the last year of high school life for the class of 1931. Twentu-Six

SUN Thirty-Four Sophs When the school bell rang in September 1928, thirty little freshmen entered the portals of St. Wendelin high school. They soon became acquainted with the new curriculum and readily imbibed the spirit of the school. As the year rolled by their greenness wore off. Ere long the year ended and they were sophomores. The sophomores greeted four new members, Margaret Lonsway, Lauretta Hoover, Alberta Foos, and Helen Shook. ln the course of the school term an- other member joined the crowd, Frances McCormick, from Hastings, Nebraska. Among the celebrities in the school, two are named in the class of 1932. Margaret Lonsway is the champion speller in the high school. Chester Lynn president of the Wranglers club, represented the school in the Diocesan oratori- cal contest and won third place y Can7t Be Done Now, you may see a pitcher lose a 'Ano-hit game, And you may see a young fellow going around quite lame. You may see i'Percy Reed Shoot his own father's gun, But never play hookey at St. Wendelin's Don't try it! It can't be done. You may see a B. X O. freight on the Nickel Plate road, And you may see the junk man carry quite a big load. You may see Speed Wolph win a hundred-yard-run, But you can't smoke at St. Wendelin's Don't try it! It can't be done. Charles .links '32. High School Life Many students seem to have the misconceived idea that to earn a certain number of credits is the ultimate end to which their high school life and am- bitions should be directed. They therefore always choose those subjects which they consider the easiest and in which they think they will most easily earn a credit. This type of student generally takes the least number of studies neces- sary. He does not seem to realize that high school is not a burden which he must bear: he does not seem to understand that high school is a privilege for- merely enjoyed by a fewi he does not seem to know that a few years ago a conscientious boy or girl would have given much to be able or permitted to attend high school, he considers high school a bore, something to be despisedf and something in which to graduate is all that is necessary. High school life is that part of a boy or girls career in which he must fit himself, by means of certain studies, for the great drama of life. Life is not all comedy, in which the actors can get by in slip-shod fashion: it is a serious thing and those who wish to succeed must know their parts well. The only way to do this is to study their lessons in school which are needed most, whether they are hard or not. Credits are not everything, but knowledge or the lack of it may mean suc- cess or failure in life. Chester Lynn '32, 1. 'f7.?fA q fs, . ' , .he i ., ix: l I, ' if Twenty Eight
