Of course we feel that we have the best class in school, also that we have the best class advisers. They are Miss Coleman., Miss Mann and Mr. Porter. Besides giving us help and encourage- ment, they are the best chaperons any class ever had. We have found some thistles along our usually sunny and care- free path. One of these tiny thistlettes of disturbances floated down into our midst about Christmas time in the dainty form of very expensive class emblems. But here, again, the sophomores showed their superior knowledge and exiled little thislette, not wishing any of her disturbing faimly to settle in peaceful T. H. S. Our social events have not been the least of our achievements. Our first great pleasure was a very enjoyable party held at Mon tana Delbon's lovely home. At this party the boys were the guests of the girls. One boy, who, to our loss. has left us, remarked that it was the most enjoyable party he had ever attended. He added that the girls kept something interesting going all the time. Yes, that's the way sophomores do everything. The boys gave the girls a return party at Unity llall. It was indeed an evening to be re- membered, and we all agreed that the boys were certainly masters of the art of entertaining. Every activity of school life has its representation of sopho- mores. The operetta, given by the music department, showed a large number of sophomores, some of whom did good solo work. Two of our prominent members are Very accomplished pianists of our school. Also we have a goodly representation in the orches- tra. As our influence is felt in the musical activities of our school. so it is felt, equally strong, on the athletic field. Wlio doesn't know that a swift game is assured when Clharles Hultberg appears on the Twenty-eight

had a most enjoyable time. Of course we shall have a class picnic or two before the school year ends. But the juniors have done some other things this year than entertain. It was the junior class which won in the inter-class track meet. And there are several juniors among those who have been and now are training for other track meets. There are also juniors who play tennis. Of course there are juniors on the basket- ball teams-on the boys' first, boys' midget, and the girls' teams. Edgar Kingery, a junior, is pitcher for the baseball team and Myron Bothun, another junior, is also one of the baseball players. There are juniors in all the musical organizations-orchestra, chorus, and all the rest. And can the juniors debate? Well, I guess. Think of all the debates that have been given in the junior English classes. Every member of the junior English classes has debated at least once dur- ing the year, and two teams chosen, one from each junior English class, debated against each other before the Debating Society and presented one of the best programs that society has enjoyed this year. Two of the five debaters representing Turlock Iligh School in the State League debates are juniors. In the school plav, t'Mr. Bob, Paul Nystrom starred as .len- kins and Jennie Dahlin as Patty. When we had a parade to show the people of the community how badly we needed a new high school, the juniors worked harder than any other class and had the most clever float. The juniors presented a very beautiful picture to the school. and on the occasion of the presentation gave an interesting pro- gram to the assembled student body. We are to have an honor roll this year of the students who have received the highest grades for the year. Observe how many jun- iors there are among the honor students. Now I ask: -X What's the matter with the juniors? If you are not yet convinced that they are all right, just look through the Alert to see what they have done and then stop to think about it. I should not be at all surprised if members of the class of '18 became great doctors, lawyers, statesmen, teachers, and even poets. At any rate we all mean to be good and useful American citizens. A whole is made of its parts and the class of '18 is one of the most necessary parts of Turlock High. Next year the members of the class of '18 will be seniors, and those who wear the gold and white will then be a still more necessary part of dear Turlock High. S. G. A. '18, Twenty-seven
