SOPHUMORE CLASS HISTORY' ti--..-I R HE year H599 found Grace I-laner, Winnie if Cooper, Helen Willard, Reginald ixicciinton, I Alonzo Lutz, and others attending kindergarten. Many of their comrades have been lost, but oth- ers are seen in their places. After mastering those difficult subjects they passed on and on till in the spring of l909 they with thirty-seven others were pre- sented with eighth grade diplomas. E ln the fall they were joined by many rural students with whom they began their high school career. That first year was very successful. Reg lVlcClinton learned how to keep his face straight, and Dick Rockwell, the midget, developed his wits and starred as the man that didn't know, Don Smith and Clif- ford Cummings had commenced their household furnitureg Paul Clark, Crib Barry, and Dean Cowdry learned to play foot-ballg Crib became our baseball star and Dean our all-round athlete. So far Deanis industry has been such that a Fair Grecian Goddess bestowed upon him the name of Fatty Grub. Edna Campbell took up domestic science and made a specialty of Johnny Cake. This year we were joined by the Gossets, and the Cash which we received Cbeing appreciated by allj, was given the most prominent position in the class, that of president. Reginald lVlcClinton is now learning to pronounce Latin words. l-le is becoming quite an expert at it. We are an exceptional class. The girls in basket ball Cle- feated even those wise and learned Seniors. And, wonder of wonders, some of the Sophomore boys are becoming very pop- ular among the Senior and Junior girlsn Also some of the Junior boys will tellyou that the company of at least some of the Sophomore girls is a thing greatly to be desired. By the time we reach the year 1913, we will be the most irrportant and the best class Alma l-ligh has ever produced. HELEN WILLARD, ESTHER DUNHAM. SW Hiott SCHOOL ORCHESTRA S A HE School Orchestra, one of the many prosperous or- E, Hi ganizations of Alma High,-is to be complimented on their bw extreme success and good management. 4 Through the un- tiring efforts of Miss Cora Hearn and under the able direction of Prof. Schroeder, the orchestra at once :lx proved their musical ability. Although only in its first year, much can be expected of the musicians in the future, as most of the members remain in school and under the same cli- rection should make a good stand among the leading High School musical organizations of the slate.
