THE CARDINAL 4- SOPHOMORES Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of high school students in their Sophomore year; No wonder their fame has spread so far! We’ll tell you the reasons—here they are: Of course we put lirst our pres’dent, Bill Butt, Who’s never 1 een known any classes to cut. Our vice-pres’dent’s Mike, or young Mr. Winters— A glance from his eyes tears a board into splinters. And then there is Dorothy—Dorothy Jean— Who’s the same to us all, doesn’t know the word “mean”. Next we present Robert Botts, William Disbrow, The “Laurel and Hardy” of our Warrensburg show. Boyd Binkley is quiet, but awfully smart, too— He drawls, but he’ll get there, we can bet you. Gwendene is a talker, as well as “hair waver”; For girls with straight hair she has proved a life-saver. Bob Gulick is new—just came here last fall; He blushes profusely, then grins at us all. Miss Retha Burdine is so quiet—oh my! She blushes quite easily, and she’s ever so shy. V. Kerwood as speller is Sophomore “champeen”— If you spell her down, you have to be keen. Mil Johnson is red-haired and ever so quiet— If she has a temper, her soft voice belies it. Miss Mary Louise has ability to be A future Jane Austen; at least, so think we. Have you ever noticed how innocent he looks? Bill Shoemaker doesn’t learn his mischief from books! Serene and gray-eyed is Marjorie Wickline, She’s always the same—no matter the time. Miss Mora lives up to her name, which is Good— She’s pleasant. Get mad? Why, she never would! [22]

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunshiny morning in September a band of eleven gypsies started on a trail that was to last for four adventuresome years. For the first few months the trail was rough and hard, but after the strangeness of the new life had worn off it became more easy for them to continue. In the day time there was not much time for play, but when night fell, there were many jolly activities in which they took part. At the end of the first year they came to that part of the country which belonged to the tribe of Sophomores. Now life became more interesting and there was much for this small band to do. They took part in the activities, festivities, literary and music. Many days passed and they now had arrived at the camp of the Junior tribe. Some of their members had been lost, so there are only eight, but this small band of gypsies holds their own among the larger tribes surrounding them. Sometimes it is difficult for them to climb the high barricades that bridge the path, but they all remain happy and content. This small tribe has one more year of the trail during their high school career but are ready to face the future. They have elected Ann Noel for president, Juanita Hood for vice-president, Orville Sheneman for secretary-treasurer, Miss Douglas and Mrs. Diers are their advisors. [21 ]

 —THE CARDINAL Dorine’s full of fun, but can be so sedate— She isn’t the type to “prattle and prate”. But Hollywood has nothing on us; we’re able To offer M. Lehn as a second Clark Gable. Speaking of “doubles”, there’s one sho’s a darb—oh With Zada around, we can’t see Greta Garbo. We even have Bear twins, the “Cubs” you can see— The fact is, we have quite a me-nag-er-ie. And John Clark Batchelder! He’s shy, but don’t worry. He’s brilliant in studies—gets ’em all in a hurry. We’d like now to introduce one you all know: The one and inimitable Silas—Si Lowe. Miss Nettie is next, her praise shall be sung— She writes the best stories, does Miss Nettie Young! You know Edith Buckley, that dancer so fair? We’ll wager she “taps” her way up that gold stair! Grace Hanes is a girl whom we all like to meet— A marvelous student, and also—she’s sweet. B. Hursh is a synonym for the word “pep”; One look in her eyes—watch out how you step! There’s one who has skin that you’d “just love to touch If Medford should find us, we’d not be worth much. “Viv” Janvrin is jolly, and likes books “right well”, Good-looking and brainy—unusual to tell. For Dorothy life’s always in a Major key— Around her there’s bound to be sweet harmony. Edith Kershner looks quiet, and she likes to read; She has all the pep that a person could need. B. Kepler has eyes that can smile or be grim— When Gene hangs around, well—we envy him. For basketball stars, we have our high hopes With Littrell around, ’cause he “knows the ropes”. Maid Marian reminds us of Miss Priscilla Alden, She seems awfully shy, at least till she’s called on. Margaret Parish likes music a lot, ’tis true— It’s no “fib” to tell—she likes other things too. Miss Tolson is nice to complete our small show— She’s demure as a maid should be—so we all know. [23]
