What followed simply defies description. A perfect night, perfect weather, forty pairs of fine lungs,—well. I shall have to leave the rest to your imagination. Finally, we arrived back at school and then—um-m-m! Nice hot cocoa, and sandwiches all ready. (This was due to the kindness of Sam Kirkwood’s aunts, who offered to fix the refreshments while we were riding, and to whom we are duly thankful.) And F.skimo Pies! W e didn’t have to drop in any dimes, either. The night-watchman was made so good-natured by such an abundance of good things to eat that he let us dance until eleven o'clock. Finally, we turned our steps homeward to dream it all over again. Hut, stay! Before we left, we all agreed again—that no one can have more fun than a Sophomore! Since it wouldn't be entirely conventional to let athletics pass unnoticed, we can say that it is one of our strong points. Yes. as everybody knows (we saw to that), we won the cup given for girls' athletics last year. We haven’t as many hopes for the cup this year, but then, strange things do happen! And, oh-h-h! You’ve all been to the football and basketball games, haven’t you? W ell, you know what those Sophomores are like! And thus, a few minor incidents unrecorded, endeth the Sophomore year of the flourishing Class of 1924. Page Twenty-tune

Only two more clays t » get this in! We haven’t clone a thing this year except study Caesar, make up gym, and have one party—and that’s what I have to rave about in seven hundred and twenty-live words!” So saycth the poor reporter who has the job bestowed upon her of trying to stretch our activities into seven hundred and twenty-five words. Maybe you think that isn’t true, but it is. for we really haven’t done a thing lla-a-a! Hut if you do think it is just because we couldn’t think of anything to do (as many ignorant, misinformed people do think), just look at the results! By our own foresightedness we have saved our pennies until they have made dollars, and many of them. Consequently, we shall have enough money next year to have any kind of a “Junior-Senior” we want, without even considering the expense. Then we can say. “Don’t va wish ya were a Junior?” While we were saving our pennies we were, oh! so studious! One promising youth even went so far as to have four “A’s” bestowed upon him. which is not a thing to he passed by. Hm-m-tn! He is a Sophomore! Likewise and moreover, we have decided that an eighth period might set a good example as well as aid 11s in deciphering Caesar’s strange gibberings. The climax was reached, however, when all the Sophomore girls except two skipped showers after gym in order to get back and “draw that map for history!” Our gym teacher took it the wrong way. though, and made us go to gym make-up. But. at last, the eventful day arrived when it was unanimously agreed that we have a sleighride. We hadn't had a party that year, so we’d “do it Page Twenty-eight

The Freshman Class CLASS OFFICERS President ..................................C hari.es Bur bach Vice-President........................................Patricia Gregary Secretary.........................................Norma Scott Treasurer.....................................John McConsell Faculty Adviser...................................Louis Ton ill TT IS recorded somewhere in the secret archives of the University High School, that in the fall of 1921 there arrived a new and numerous body of persons, who came to be known as the class of 1925. From the earliest accounts of this class it seems that it was looked upon by Faculty and upper classmen with much respect, and with frequent prophecies as to its unlimited capabilities. Almost immediately they organized. Norma Scott, Keeper-of-the-Records, tells us that from then on the class has displayed uncommon dash and pep; yet, it is said, too, that the class has had no more than the traditional number of escapades. Chief-High-Mogul Bur-bach, and I Iolder-of-the Money-Bags McConnell tell us that we are a peace-loving and tranquil tribe. That we are. too. but we are also aggressive and conscientious adherents to the principle that “what is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” The achievements of the class have been along many lines. One of these is Athletics. To date, the Freshman girls have more points for the athletic cup than any other class. A mention must be made of the splendid work done by the girls on the captain-ball and newcombe teams, under the very able and delightful leadership of Miss Browning and Mrs. Cram. Three members have received letters at the annual exhibition this spring. The boys have practiced diligently at football, and have received all the benefits of that sturdy game with none of its injuries. As the average weight and stature were not sufficiently Herculean, none were able to make the team. Both the boys and the girls are looking forward eagerly to the baseball season. We expect to show great work along that line. Pcigc Thirty
