THE SOPHOMORES I'wenty-Srven DO you see those four stars going around that well-beaten, time-worn school orbit? The second one, the little star Sophomore, is the liveliest and brighest one of all. It sends out brilliant and illuminating rays to the dark little star. Freshman. but happily receives the same inspiring rays from the two stars ahead. The space on this select star is very limited, so the rent for a place to “shine is quite high, being twenty-live cents every month. But we’ll tell the world it-worth it! The chief shiner on our star is Mr. Ilaertter. our class adviser. We have two plane geometry classes, one little one and one big one. Mr. Haertter’s object is to see which class he can make shine the best. So far. the best shiners in the big class shine better than the best shiners in the little class, but the poor shiners in the large class do not shine as well as the poor shiners in the small class, so it’s about even. The officers elected to guide us along the strait ami narrow orbit this year are as follows: Daniel Carroll, our president, who pounds with everything from fists to erasers, but makes very little oppression on the rampaging tongues in class meetings. Andrea Kiefer, our vice-president. who will have to assist Daniel if his voice gives out, Jane Armstrong, otlr secretary, who, if she wrote everything that is said in our class-meetings, would write from now till Doomsday, and Douglas Erskine, our treasurer, very lieartfess when it comes to collecting quarters.

19 2 0 B I S B I L A 19 2 0 November 13: Juniors sold armbands, buttons, and megaphones at Homecoming Game. Nothing new. December 15: At Assembly we, the Junior members of the Dramatic Club, gave our African scene, the ad for the Senior Yodvil. Jack was king, a wild one too. I giggled too hard to say “Your Majesty.” Helen Wildes voice is loud enough for two anyway. Mr. Pep sat in the front row and laughed and laughed. He was the only one I could see. December 23: Came out in my exams all right. Could have been worse. Got A A on Junior theme. March 12: Had debate to-day. Lost to those boys, of course. Have noticed loads of new Juniors on the Breeze staff. March 17: Began exams to-day. English wasn’t easy. 1 wish this week were over. March 26: Arthur got seven A’s, either for the month or the quarter. Can't remember which. W ish I were as bright as he. “If at first you don’t succeed. Try, try, again. April 1: At seventh period we had a class meeting, about the J. S., of course. The seniors invited us to a “Preamble.” given in honor of the Juniors, on April ninth. I hope I can go. April 9: Went to preamble. Loads of fun. Danced six times with “him. My, but I am tired. Guess I’ll sleep all day tomorrow. April 24: My, what a time! The Union was gorgeous, decorated with “Bohemian” decorations. The orchestra was superb. Wore my new green chiffon and silver slippers. Never felt so happy in all my life! Nearly all the girls had new dresses. I’he boys were spruced up too, especially “him.” I honestly had a dance with Mr. Garlough. Never was so thrilled. Hope mother doesn’t see this diary, especially this page. Oooooh! I’m so tired. June 1: School is almost over. Then only three months and I’m a Senior, a lofty Senior. This too sad to think about In only one year I'll graduate. It doesn’t seem possible. “Ternpus surely does “fugit.” Amen. Ttccnly-Six

1 9 2 6 B I S B I L A 1 9 2 G Our class has not lost its scholastic record of last year. In fact, even more Sophomores names are “shining” on the roll of honor this year than last. We are extremely proud of the Sophomore hoys who have been on the 1925 football team. Here is a list of the notable stars: Alonzo Vrooman, Lardner Coffey, -----? -----? ?. who are known to have lots of fight. The Sophomore girls are not lacking in pep and fighting spirit either We are striving hard to win the 1925 Athletic Cup. It was won by the Senior Class last year, hut there are exceptions to every rule! On a certain gala day about the middle of December, we had a most wonderful time. It was our first real party, all by ourselves, and we had an orchestra and ‘‘eats' and everything! And didn’t the Juniors and Seniors wish they were hack in our shoe , and the Freshmen that they had come a year earlier? About Christmas Vacation, and another time in the early Spring, we experienced some very hard mental work, and despair was almost upon us, when we realized that approximately seven more times we should have to suffer thus. So passed our eventful Sophomore year crammed to the very brim with ‘pepping ’ good times, and now we look eagerly forward to our last two years at I niversity High Sc!...I. i Txceniy-Bight
