vw 0112.5 vu SOPHOMORE HISTORY The Class of ,24 held their first meeting of this year in Miss Davidson's room, September 13, 1922. Last year's president pre- sided over the meeting and the following officers were elected: President-Theodore Jacobson. Vice President-Helen Kendall. Treasurer-Caroline Steinbuhler. Secretary-Mary Hanks. The reviving school spirit was shown by the Sophomores at football season. A great majority of both girls and boys buying and selling tickets. Some of the girls also helped on tag day spend- ing either part or all of the day tagging the people who traversed tl1e business streets. One of the class members, Claire Axtell, and her partner, Gertrude Mulvehill, received first prize for collecting the most money for their tags. . ' The second class meeting was held in the same place and re- sulted in preparations for a class party. Accordingly, it was held in the Presbyterian Gym the following Friday evening and was enjoyed by all, the juniors and faculty adding greatly to the amusement. Miss Steele and 'Erwin Fritts took turns at rattling the ivories. The chaperones were the three new teachers-Miss Steele, Miss Brumbaugh and Mr. Murphy. , V As everyone seemed extremely busy with school affairs we did not have another party until jan. 27. It was held in fthe Y. XV. C. A. and although the first one of its kind and a strictly Sopho- more party, it proved a great success. Miss Forsmanfs usual skill at entertaining was in evidence. Late in the evening refresh- ments of Eskimos Pies and marshmellows were served. Although we knew that the members of our class- were ac- complishment we have discovered even more talent during the last year. It has also been proven that we far from lack pep. Among the stars in the Girls' basbetball team sparkeled the following Sophomores: Orpha Symmonds, Alice Kelley, Catherine Sjoden, Eva Roof and Doris Mullin. VVhile Bill Helfrich, Crayton Lund-. breg and Preston Bishop were great stand ups to the football team: Kenneth Tulloch has shown great skill an an artist and Erving Hovis can write splendid stories for English II Special. Both Glee Clubs are well blassde with the classes' best talent which far ex- ceeds that of any other at least in our own estimations. Our class poets are in the minority compared with our story writers, but al- though they are few their writings are mighty in quality. Ethel Habich's Sophomore Girls in Alphabet was exceedingly clever as well as her poem of The Old Man's Vision. Frances 'eBoal, a prominent class member who is literary editor for the Optimist, has also added greatly to the interest of our by-weekly paper, by her stories and poems, two of the most noted being The Mystery and The Gypsy Trail, an interesting poem. Other prose writers are Elizabeth Buchanon, Ethel Habich, Marjory Ames, Catherine Curry, Mary Parker and Dorothy Pielfer, the last three of whom the class is very proud of, as they won the First three prizes for the four best Optimist stories.
