Tlie Jiiiiiiir CIsiss For three years a large group of students, who are now the Junior Class, has taken an active part in every school activity. The class has cooperated with the faculty, seniors, and lower classmen and shown its ability in every way possible. Class rings were the object of much discussion until a definite pattern had been approved by the committee. When the rings arrived, they proved very attractive and caused much envy on the part of the lower classmen. The scholastic rating of the juniors is very high as shown by their member¬ ship in the Scholarship Society. Approximately one third of the C. S. F. are juniors. Not only are they members of this scholastic organization, but three of them held offices. The class displayed its journalistic abilities through the medium of the ' ‘Hatchet,” the staff of which is composed almost entirely of juniors. At the opening of the last quarter of the semester a special Junior Edition was published which contained many entertaining write-ups. Seven members of the cast of the Student Body play, The Scarecrow Creeps,” were juniors, thus making it almost a class production. In Gloria,” the Ex¬ change Program for 1935, about twenty members carried honors in leading and minor roles. In the Vodvil” the juniors planned a number of skits, and, on the whole, showed much enthusiasm and talent. The class solved the problem of filling the treasury by introducing for the first time a pay assembly which featured movies of important football games and of Moving Day taken by George West and his assistants. They also held a successful sale of homemade candy the last night of the Vodvil. The Junior-Senior Prom, which was held May eighth, was a semi-formal dance to which the whole school was invited. As is the custom, the evening was dedicated to the seniors by the class which will soon take its place in leadership. The affair was held in the big gymnasium, which had been transformed into a place of beauty. When the hour of twelve arrived the guests departed, de¬ claring the affair delightful, and it is with pleasant anticipation that the school is looking forward to future parties given by this class. The field of sports found much material in the Junior Class. On all the teams, important positions were held satisfactorily, by members of the class. Tennis in particular, boasted both boy and girl participants from the class of ’37. With a full and active year to remember, the seniors-to-be are looking ahead to another successful year. f 18 1

Tlie So|»li4Hiu rc Class With new ideas and fresh enthusiasm for the coming school year the sophomore class returned to school after vacation. Almost at once they set to work at the task of making the new term a success. Officers were elected, and a schedule for coming activities was planned. The work was so arranged that each member was able to do his share. This sharing of the class work stimulated interest and as a result the class accomplished much while working together as a unit. It was the sophomores that had the honor of giving the first dance of the school year. Autumn was the theme chosen by the decoration committee and everyone worked hard in planning attractive decorations for the gymnasium. The committee made the large room beautiful with autumn leaves, shrubs, and grape vines. Music was provided by Larry s Washingtonians, then newly formed. As the strains of the final waltz died away everyone departed re¬ gretting that so successful an affair was over, and looking forward to future parties given by the class. In the athletic side of school activities the second year boys and girls played an outstanding part. The C Football team was chiefly composed of sopho¬ mores. The same was true of the “C Basketball and the Baseball team. The girls, not to be outdone, took part in speedball, basketball, baseball, and other minor sports. Both the Girl ' s and Boy ' s “W Clubs have members from the second year class. The Sophomore Edition of the Hatchet was one of the finest editions put out. No effort was spared to make this project a success. The work was done by the second year English classes, who after electing two editors and two assist¬ ant editors, planned and wrote the entire edition. In all dramatic productions and exchange programs the class played an eminent part. In “Gloria , “The Scarecrow Creeps , “The Vodvil , and several assembly programs the names of various sophomores figured prominently. In the chorus, orchestra, and band there were a number of sophomores. Success was also achieved by this class in the academic side of school life. They have taken an active part in the affairs of the Scholarship Society in which they are well represented. The office of Secretary, usually held by a senior or a junior was this year held by a sophomore. Now as the class comes to the end of their second year they may look back upon the first two years of high school and consider them as years spent both wisely and well in sports, studies, and social activities. They have no fear in regard to finances because through candy sales and other means they have enough to start them on their junior year. Much is expected of this class in the future and past efforts have shown both teachers and pupils alike that they will not be disappointed in this hope. [ 20 ]
