President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer ANNA KNAPP VIRGINIA FERGUSON Jimmy Booker SOPHOMORE HISTORY And then we were Sophomores! Such supreme joy. For then we were freed from the yoke of “high class” tyranny. And we had made a name for our- selves. We are mighty—that claim lying in the fact that we make up about one- fourth of the entire school’s enrollment. Never let it be thought that we have over-exerted our deserved privileges to reign over those less fortunates, ah no! They have received only guidance from us. This year many of us have ventured out for the first time since our Freshmen days of preparation. In the sports line, the Sophomores are well represented. Many.of this year’s “crack” players have been gleaned from among us, football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, and all the rest. In the various public activities sponsored by the clubs, we have again been honored by the selection of Sophomores to fill roles in plays, notable, “An Arizona Cowboy.” The title roles were the Operetta “Pentinent Pirates” presented by the Choral Club were enacted by members of our class. It has been a satisfying year and we look to 1938 with eagerness, for we shall be “high classmen.”

Freshmen President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer NaANcy WRIGHT EARNEST CRITZER Mary GARBER Freshman History Freshmen, by all means, get the worst of every bargain. Upon arriving in high school—in a very good state of humor—they soon find that they are the very scum of the earth, according to the upper classmen, Every Freshman’s main aim in life is to get to the top and then—show the other poor rats how to live a dog’s life. They always have to step back, put on their best manners, and wait until the upper classmen get through scrapping over it. Then nothing is left. The poor lower classman has to go through all sorts of initiation. If only the teachers would take a hint! These lower classmen are sworn to secrecy; the punishment being more hazing if they happen to blab. Oh! well, if they can possibly last two or three more years they will show those other poor freshmen- to-come what the first year high school student has to stand. Freshmen, by far, lead the hardest life in school.
