Miss Wilson It was remarked once last year that Juniors like to advertise themselves. They do. The first year they advertised themselves in the wrong way (or so the faculty thought), last year they reformed, and this year they received the full approbation of all and have shown every one by their effort and ability in declamatory and debates that the best stuff in High School is in the Junior class. Their grades also indicate this, for a good percent will come in for scholarship honors next year. The industry and patriotism of the class was shown in the work done in obtaining the $5.20 from the Athletic Board for selling the most tickets to the Alumni basket hall game. Where can a man buy a cap for his knee Or a key for a lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an academy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head what gems are set ? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can lie use when shingling the roof of his mouth. The nails on the ends of his toes? What does he raise from the slip of his tongue? Who plays the drums of his ears? Who can tell the cut and style Of the coaf his stomach wears? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail. And if so, what did it do? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I'll be hanged if I know, do you? Mr. Crawford; “Dewey, what is a converging pencil? Dewey; “Why, that’s when a beam of light spreads to a point. Norman, in Animal Husbandry: “Say, Perry, what would be a good balanced ration for a mule?” Perry: “Why, I don’t know, but you might ask Hamillon what he eats.” Hugh, in Physics; “What time is it?” Mr. Crawford: “Two minutes till four o’clock, but I’m some fast.” Thelma: “Who would have thot that of Mr. Crawford?” Dewey, in Physics: “Sav, Mr. Crawford, if 32 is the freezing point, what is the squeezing point?” Hugh: “Oh, I know, it’s two in the shade.” Two men were discussing a certain man’s nationality when Pat came along and they asked him, “Pat, if a man was born of American parents in France would he be a Frenchman ?” Pat answered: “Sure, and if a cat had kittens in the oven would they lie biscuits?”

THE SPUD 21 Sophomores Ralph Joder ....................... Ethel Clary ..................... Noel Young .... Ethel Nation Mr. Truman President............. -.......... Vice President ..................... Secretary-Treasurer ................ spud Reporter Our Sophomore year opened favorably, with a larger enrollment of members than any other class in .school, always excepting, of course, the Freshman who are so large (in a way) at the beginning of their High School career, but who, sad to relate, dwindle rapidly to the average number. We seemed, to ourselves at least, much less green than we had three or four months before, but we soon found that there was much of education before us and little behind us. That was easy to remedy, we thought, and went to work with a will, to conquer all we saw, as our esteemed friend Caesar once said about something or other—we’ve forgotten exactly what. A great many of the class arc second year Commercial people, others have entered well into the Manual Training, Agricultural and Domestic Science courses. Indeed, from the number in the class who have taken up such subjects ,we are inclined to think the class ot ’18 will be well represented in the farming and home making professions. For the others: “Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres,” proved a step to the higher learning they will undoubtedly take- up. The Sophomores enjoyed a hayrack party and weinie roast at Pur-inton’s Drove on Wednesday (‘Veiling, May 17. Although the weather man had forgotten that the event had been planned for this night and rain was the predominating element in the atmosphere, every one had a splendid time, and things went off very smoothly, even when Wilma unintentionally jumped (?) out of the hay rack, and to her own and every one rise’s surprise picked herself up, unhurt. The Sophomores have been unusually lucky this year on account of the number of sponsors they have had in so short a time. No other class can boast of so many. Our first one, Mrs. Isabelle Gabus Walker, preferred wedded bliss to the (sometimes) monotonous school room, and left us at the end of tin-first semester. Her place was then filled by Mr. Truman, who has been well liked by the members of the class, and of course is proud and happy to be sponsor for so royal a bunch. Our class has been unusually well represented in athletics ihis year. The captain of the football team and several others of the most valued players were Sophomores. In basket ball, too, we furnished the best guard in this part of the state, as well as one other first team man and several second team players. ( h Sophomores arc woiulerous wise, They think they know it all, They’ve studied some from day to day In A. H. S. assembly hall.
