SOPI-IOMORE CLASS In September, l935, the ambitious class of l938 rode the Golden Tide to shore. Warnings by upper classmen of University High's fatiguing subjects and abusive treatment were turned into inspiration by the spirited group. High spirits, contagious to upper classmen, and clever ideas immediately carried out marked the class as a key spoke in the year's wheel of progress. ln January a belated Silly Symphony Sophomore Shuffleiwas held in the University High School exclusively for sophomores. Clever animated cartoons drawn by sophomore art students were used for decorations. Aside from the dancing in the auditorium,igames in the library gave amusement to those not desiring or craving diversion from the provided dancing. Leaving this, their own social event, behind, the sophomores settled down to tasks of scholarship and activities. Working on term papers and studying for exams, publishing a Uni Hi-Lights, producing plays for assembly pre- sentation, and engagement in otheriactivities occupied their hours. The class elected the following officers to guide them through their in- itial year: President, Dick Smith, vice-president, Richard Barger, secretary- treasurer, Ted Harmon, and council representative, Jean Graham. Advisers to the class were Miss Frances Frazier and Mr. Shailer Peterson. A picnic as a climax to the year's activity was planned for May. As the class of l936 moved on, the sophomores, class of I938, eagerly awaited the year ahead when they would become more superior in the exalted role of juniors, ll

Palanulc, Simpson, Rush, Cady, Mann Brace, Jensen, Taylor, Hunter, Booth, Johnson, Read 31-13 No member of the University High School student body November 22, l936, will ever be able to, or want to, forget the eventful night of this date when University High's squad of l7 football players brought fame to them- selves and school by defeating our friendly but larch rivals of Eugene High School, 3l - I3 in downpour of rain. Just to insure your memorylll- The rally in the morning. Booth says, l know who'll be fight'n' ,the hardest. lThe student body silently prays and hopesl Then in the evening the football xboys met. ln the dressing room they were silent-hopeful-anxious. They had hopes that there was one team in the state which could do what no other high school in the state had done -beat one of the best teams ever to come out of Eugene High School, U.H.S. Slowly thoseylast steps were treked across the graveyard in its solemn stillness. Into the grandstand walked the last straying man, and the stage was set-set for the most sincere proclamations that any team ever made -the proclamation that one team must win or lose. But University High School was NOT going to LOSE. On to the field for the final warmup.-lnto the dressing room for the final instructions and encouragement from Maury Van Vliet.-Again to the field for the game you all remember too well. Thirteen boys made,history for November 22, l936, and another, Max Simpson, wished that he could have helped as he sat on the sidelines suffering a broken arm. l3
