THe SOPHO With one year of experience behind them, the Sophomores showed great enthusiasm In returning to their work. They set out with a will to make the new term a success. Officers were elected, and a schedule for their coming activities was planned. The Starlight Frolic, given In the gym Friday evening, December 9, 1938, was the first big date on their calendar. The gym was decorated appropriately for the Christmas theme, with silver and blue as their basic colors. They used crystals and snow designs. The central motif was an elaborate chandelier hanging from the center of the celling with a brightly decorated Christmas tree beneath It. It proved to be an evening of great enjoyment to all who attended. Much of the school ' s great talent is possessed by the sophomore students as was shown by the unusually large number who participated in the Student Body Play, Christ¬ mas Pageant, and the Vodvil. There was also a good representation of sophomores In the chorus, orchestra, and band. As one of the duties of the Sophomore Class, they decorated the halls and the auditorium for Christmas. In the halls they used garlands of greens, interspersed with large wreaths which were decorated with colored lights and large red ribbon bows. In the auditorium they had a large Christmas tree decorated In the traditional way: and in the trophy case a nativity scene was set up. 22
