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.

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.

Our new class officers were introduced: Alan Alter, presidentg Sara Brickner, vice-presidentg Doro- thy Mulhollen, secretaryg and Robert Barnhart, treasurer. We also made plans for the 6'Jung1e Hop to be held October 30. October 30, 1936 Ihave just returned from f'The Jungle Hop , the first dance held by our class this year. The decorations were original. Pictures of jungle animals, Sey- mour the hippo, Fanny the elephant, Timmy the lion, and Gracie the baboon, lined the Walls of the gymnasium. The dances, the Tiger Drag and the Monkey Swing, were named after animals. The Hop was fun-and so different. November 9, 1936 At our second class meeting, it was reported that the s'Jungle Hop had added 9525 to our treasury. December 23, 1936 We distributed the Christmas issue of our Yodler this afternoon. I don't Wish to boast, diary, but I think We did a rather good piece of Work. It really is an excellent issue, with its Christmas engraving, and snappy, clever articles. The juniors think some improvements have been made in the Yodler this year. January 8, 1 937 We had our pictures taken for the Phoenician at the Tenth Street entrance, I hope they turn out Well. It was bitter cold and We were just about frozen.
