It is something to be a real high school student and not 'ijust a 'fresihief' Those freshmen look like such youngsters. We surely were not that small last year, were we? September 21, 1936 Our class is getting into the swing of things now! To-day, at our class meeting we elected officers. John McCleary, a true leader, is our new president for the year, and t'Charlie Salem, vice-president. Bob Scharmann is secre- tary, and Ripper Collins holds the money bags. October 19, 1936 Mr. Shappell gave us a talk on football in class meeting this morning. For the remaining time, we had a class sing, an effective means of creating fel- lowship in a large group. - November 7, 1936 Our class party was well-planned with good entertainment. The movies in the auditorium made us laugh until our sides hurt. All thought the girls in the floor show looked very attractive in their evening gowns under our new spot- light. The refreshments consisted of punch, cake, cookies, candy, and ice-cream. Novembexg,123, 1936 In class meeting, everyone praised the committee and our advisers, Miss Witt and Mr. Raab, for helping us with the party. Our loyal treasurer voiced his: ap- peal for dues, funds, contributions, and other pecuniary reimbursements. Then, Miss Reiser's home-room staged an original one-act comedy for us. The actors, Lucy Frank, Jack Ogle, Wesley Rohrer, and 'tBob Scharmann, showed original- ity and talent.

November 3, 1936 To-day in the gymnasium the freshman civics classes held a mock election. The student body voted for President of the United States. Governor Landon won. We voted also on various problems of the- school. Should one period a Week of health education through intra-mural competition be required of all students? Should the number of extra-curricular activities be reduced? Should the Phoe- nician be published jointly by the junior and senior classes? and on alternate years? Should initiations be conducted entirely Within the group? The final results of the voting were never announced. November 20, 1936 Freshmen were excused a half day to visit the Lorain Steel Company. We walked through the foundry, the laboratory, the pattern and machine shops, and other exhibition buildings. It was a long Walk, and We became so hot and tired that we were glad to go home for a good cleaning November 30, 1936 Our November class meeting was held to-day. Mr. Shappell told us of some of his experiences as a private in the World War. April 16, 1937 The freshmen gave a circus. W'hat fun we had! There was a great variety of acts on the program-a Russian dance, a tap dance group, a parade of the Wooden soldiers, an interpretation of No, No, A Thousand Times No by the boys, and clown acts. May l, 1937 My school work is taking up so much of my time now that I shall not be able to tell you any more news. Next year, though. there will be many more activi- ties about which to write.

December 17, 1936 The Band Concert was really an eye-opener. Never before had I realized what a snappy band we have. Their rendition of the Overture from The Barber of Seville was especially well done. A loyal sophomore cannot but be proud of the thirteen members his class lends to this organization. February 14, 1937 NVe have to hand it to Mr. Ackley for his fine work in organizing a girls' chorus. And what a chorus! The-re was an overflowing house at their first con- cert. They sang a pleasing variety of songs which showed a real finish in color and tone. I heard some of the fellows say that they wished there were a boys' chorus. ' March 30, 1937 The early spring gales during our Easter vacation were welcomed by every- one, for we came back to school to-day refreshed and ready to carry on our school work with greater zest. April 9, 1 937 Breaking all precedent, we sophomores sponsored a dance. In addition to being a go socially, it also did the general coffers fill. Jimmy Cannin's Orchestra supplied the rhythm. The blue and yellow decorations and balloons made the gym cheerful and gay. We showed the school that the sophomores also can put it over. April 15, 1937 Our class is taking an active part in intra-mural sports. Mr. Mcllnay directs the tournamnts which keep the' contest spirit at a high tide. The sophomores have won first place in soccer, second in volley-'ball, and second and third places for the A and B teams in the basketball tournament. Charles Han- nan is the school champ in ping pong. We have yet to see how the tennis match will turn out. SOPHOMORE GlRLS First Row: Jane Maley, Betty Reid. Jeannette Barnhart. Dorothy Davis.
