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.
