President I ’ice President . Treasurer Secretary John McConnell Kvaxoklink Nary Gkobuk Smith IIklen Reilly THE good ship “Sophomore lay rocking quietly near the dock in the harbor of U. Ii. S., preparatory to a cruise on the Sea of Life. Manning its decks was a jolly crew, good and experienced men all, under the able direction of Admiral John McConnell, First Mate Evangeline Nary, Keeper of the Log Helen Reilly, Guard-of-the Treasure Chest George Smith, and Lookout (in the tower) Mr. To-hill. This excellent and most skillful crew, having just returned from a voyage in the worthy vessel “Freshman.” possessed an astounding degree of nautical as well as terrestrial experience. The months, those latitudes through which “The Ship of State” is guided, had one by one been passed, and, despite a few weeks of gray sky anil gloomy weather, the ship had seen comparatively smooth sailing. Then, one sunny day, the crew learned that they were to reach the port of “First Quarter Exams,” when the vessel would he thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and re-stockcd. So far the cruise as marked by ” Kceper-of-thc-Log,” Helen Reilly, had been blessed with the good winds of Athletic Prowess, the sunshine of Good Marks, and the favorable weather of Social Intercourse. Athletic Prowess was attained by both hovs and girls, for the boys made splendid records in football while the girls excelled in soccer and captain-ball, going a long way toward the cherished “cup” which honors the class with the highest record. o- 23 O- I 29 1

Scott, Mason We have also many famous people in our midst. I regret to announce that Mr. Samuel Brown Kirkwood, who was intending to speak this evening, is unable to do so as he developed an acute ease of writer’s cramp from signing 2.50 letters for the Press Association, of which he is president. He is also editor-in-chief of the “Campus Breeze,” which never before has been so good. Of course, everyone knows that the .Juniors won the debate, thanks to our able debaters, Gertrude Husby and Donald Van Koughnct. This proves that we are more than frivolous butterflies as some people are wont to say. 1 asked Miss Partington to speak this evening, but, owing to her very modest nature, she declined. I shall have to sing her praises. Miss Partington has upheld the reputation of her ancestors, class, and school, by being elected to Acme. To win this coveted honor, one must secure a unanimous vote of the faculty, which, as you know, is most difficult (not for Peggy, however). 1 awoke with a start. The radio phones were still on my ears and something that sounded a lot like Dave Wing’s orchestra was playing. I yawned. What was the use of writing a class report when the whole world knew of our activities? -o- 23 I 2S ]

It is well also to note that, in spite of outside work in athletics and other things, our class enjoys a good representation on the Honor Roll; and we sincerely hope that we can continue to maintain the same high standard through our remaining years at “L ” High. Although we, in a most fitting and proper manner, have been applying ourselves with great diligence to our school work, we have also found time for several class meetings and a party. Here, although not all the class was able to be present, those who came enjoyed a delightful evening. We “sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,” sighting now and then a pretty island or a coral reef, but meeting no storms. One beautiful day dawned fair and bright out of pure courtesy to the undertaking which was to be staged, for the Sophomores, under the able leadership of Miss Huhman, put on an assembly in which the program consisted mainly of storv-telling, which, because of its unique character, was pleasing to all. When the merry seamen again continued their journey, their close application to the duties at hand showed some excellent results. A week elapsed, and this time the most worthy Ancient History classes deigned to give a very interesting assembly concerning ancient Roman life, customs, and various implements. Because of the great variety of material and the comprehensiveness of the program, it proved very instructive to the audience. During the Second Quarter, the Sophomores again made good records in athletics. A great number of hoys participated in basketball, playing a very clean game and eventually winning the Haggerty Cup. The girls, likewise, worked diligently at captain-ball, but did not win the championship. Apparatus work, although rather strenuous, progressed splendidly with Mildred Borne as chairman, and we excelled both in participants and amount of work done. -o 23 l 3« 1
