Show Sophomore Class Officers Trilby Brown Roland Parry Ferd Bingham Sophomore Notes This has been an unusually lively year for the Sophmore class. At our first class meeting we filled the remaining vacant offices. Miss Pearl Cragun was elected Class Advisor and she has proved very worthy of the great honor. The Sophomore class party was given in the school auditorium on November 3. In the first part of the evening different games were played and the latter part was devoted to dancing. During an inter- mission delicious refreshments were served. It was considered the most up-to-date class party given this year and everyone who attended had the "time of his life." In the oratorical tryout Rae Lofgreen and Elzira Robinson were the winners. Miss Robinson could not find time to carry on her oratorical work. We were very sorry to lose so good a representative of Sophomore talent. Miss Lofgreen always held her audience spell- bound with her orations and has won many honors, both for herself and the class. In the debating tryout, Vilate Froerer, Alta Neilson, Esther Thompson and Leland Evans were chosen to represent the Sophomore class. In working for the Debating Cup we defeated the Freshies and gave the Juniors a mighty big scare. The Sophomore class is right at the top in athletics. We greatly humiliated the other classes and became champions in baseball. The first game which was played with the Freshmen class, we won with a score 3-2. The final game was played with the Juniors and, of course, we won, the score being 9-5. The Sophomore Grand Ball was held April 10, and it was considered one of the great successes of the season. The Easter decoration scheme, which showed the artistic taste of the Sophomores, was cleverly carried out. We had excellent music and punch was served from a prettily decorated booth throughout the evening. To celebrate the grand success of the dance the Sophomores went on a bon-fire party. At six-thirty o'clock p. m. almost the entire class met at the end of the Twenty-seventh street car line. From there we proceeded up Taylors Canyon to a choice spot. When we reached the place a roaring fire was built of brush. Everyone was starving after their long tramp so preparations began for lunch. It was a delightful lunch and partook of the campfire flavor. Every- one possessed himself with a forked stick and proceeded to toast "winnies" over the fire, which were eaten between hot rolls. Toasted marshmellows and peanuts were served to "top off" the lunch. After that we sang songs and made those old mountains ring as they never had before with our voices. About half past ten we started for home everyone feeling he had had the "time of his life." The Sophomore class wishes everyone a pleasant vacation and hopes to see them all back next year with a new vim to start the year's work. |
