SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We, the members of the Sophomore class, to form a more perfect school, establish friendship, promote a general good time, and secure the advantages of an education, entered the W.C.H.S. for the first time on September 3, 1933. Since it was the custom to elect officers of the class, an advisor, and to choose class colors and flower, we elected James Robbins, president; Billy Perkins, vice president; Aldene Lehn, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Steninger, advisor; and we chose blue and white as class colors, and the violet, our flower. Although a number of parties were had the Freshman-Sophomore party stands out, for we were initiated. Later we came face to face with mid-year exams. During the second semester we combined with the Juniors to give a George Washington party. After we had faced the semester exams again, we brought our first year to a close by attending the all-school picnic at Nelson Park. Having rested and enjoyed ourselves for the few vacation months we started back to W. C. H. S. as Sophomores in September, 1934. We were under the leadership of James Robbins and Annabel Faith, with Miss Smith as our advisor. Several parties were held and we took part in three ticket sale contests. Finally the year was brought to a close by the annual “All School Picnic” held at Nelson Park. -21- BILLY PERKINS.

THE CARDINAL Our train, after a short delay Resumed the journey on a grand fall day. ’Twas the sixth of September to be exact; That our train was repaired and set on the track, Miss Parker by choice was chief engineer To pilot our train to success this year, Irma Good, true to her name has risen to the chief cooks fame Lloyd Mullins, as her assistant proclaimed His ability of handling us when pandonium resigned. Anna Louise Moffett, took notes this year Of our trip through Bookland “Oh what a career!” Who but Helen Sibthorp should handle the cash? For we knew that she would do nothing rash. At the end of our trip we had only twenty-five. It seems our class had taken a downward dive. At points of our trip we took time out Which every one enjoyed, I do not doubt. On the following fall of thirty-four. Only twenty could be found to make up the score, That doesn’t matter for we’ll fight to the finish To keep our class from a gradual deminish; Our train left the station on the third of September I know that is right because I remember, Our train for the first time required two engineers Miss Parker and Mr. Henry took charge of the gears. Dick Gilman, is chief cook this year. And assistant Francis Culp has proved to be a seer. Harriett Marshall, as secretary in our estimation stands high And if you could be here I’m sure you’d see why Philip Bauman knows how to handle the money In such a way that it doesn’t seem funny Some of our talented members presented a play “The Family Upstairs” which went over in a big way. -20- HELEN V. SIBTHORP.
