The four classes, seniors and juniors first, then sophs and frosh, assemhled in the new Vifyandotte huild' ing, and at last the classes of Vifyandotte had a school home that helonged to them. None of them had known the huilding at Ninth and State as their home, and the first day of school was a joyful occasion. S031 E SLEEP Nearly 2,9011 students reported the first few days. How' ever, in spitc of the marvelous huilding and excellent equip' ment, some found it much easier to sleep in the inormng than prepare their lessons, so the enrollment dropped to around 'l,RlJIl.

The sponsor of the senior class of 1938 is Mr. David Gray, who has advised the class for the past two years. Mr. Gray is an old hand at this sponsor husiness, and he espef cially likes senior classes hecause he knows their activities. Mr, L. D, Kruger is the sponsor of the junior class. This is his first year with the 1939's hut he has heen a sponsor hefore. Miss Nelle Cook is the sophomore adviser. She must he good at this work, for she was the sponsor of the class of 1936 for four years, and this is her second year with the class of 1940. Miss Judith Stapleton is the freshman sponsor.
