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
