Some Class We have given this year three class parties and a banquet, the latter being given to our basketball team for the hard-fought vic- tory over the Seniors.

I11 the sack rush our husky and speedy men overpowered the Freshmen with ease and won our first victory. I lad the menu serving contest been held to a strict ruling we still believe our girls would have won. but as it was. the Freshmen re- ceived the decision and we won the contest. In debating, our team of Kasius and Richards won an easy vic- tory over the Xineteeners and came up for the finals and made an excellent showing. Then came the most talked-of event of the year, basketball. Our team. .Min.son. Brewer, Linford. Shrcevc. Marshall and Flygare, gave little promise at first, but as soon as the contest began in real earnest they made almost a clean sweep of the series and won the title of school champions to the satisfaction of all save he Seniors.

Freshman Notes Wo have been working hard this year to gain favor with Weber. In the extemporaneous speaking contest we have won all second honors by presenting such members as Wallace Walker. Derrah Van Dyke. Maroni Allan, Delbert Wright. James Irishman, and Merle King. On April 12 the Sophomores and Freshmen tied in the con- test. but after a second decision the honor was given to the other class. Our social affairs have been foremost in rank. The class parties have been enthusiastically enjoyed by the student body, especially the Leap Year party given for the new students is one that will be remembered. Of course we claim to have the prettiest girls in school and we are proud to mention that the queen of one of the student body dances was chosen from our midst. Throughout the year we have entertained the faculty and stu- dents by rendering programs for devotional. We owe a great deal to our class advisor. Mr. Lardoc. for hon- ors we received and for the interest taken by the class. We have been very successful in athletics, having won the school championship in baseball. The boys have been working hard to gain the honor and they expect to be able to do the same the next three years. 28
