SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY After enduring all the trials and tribulations, the sorrows and hopless feelings that crept into our meek little hearts when those lofty Seniors laughed and scorned at our feeble efforts to ascend the ladder of success, at last we entered our Sophomore year. To begin with, we welcomed many strangers to our happy band. There was Bertha, the little girl with dreamy blue eyes and such adorable red hair, who is becoming such a short story writer. There was Betty; that girl is a genius when it comes to drawing and writing the “Palmer Method.” There was Charney, who stole the heart of “Red.” And then, oh, then, Roy came to us. He, like a naughty boy, hid his light under a bushel and we never dreamed of his many talents until Mrs. Davis, our won- derful Algebra teacher, revealed the fact to us. My, how that boy did blush when we reproved him for being so timid and negligent. We found that he had such a gift of oratory as would equal that of Demosthenes, and that he could sing with such powerful expression that it would cause Caruso to retire from the stage, not to mention the fact that he could trip the light fantastic and play the piano, and so on “ad infinitum.” He has been very gay since he made his debut. Several times I have noticed him walking out to the tennis court with Merle while Mary and Elnora stood aside and wondered what he saw so attractive about “her.” It was about mid-term when that “swell black-headed boy,” Walter Andrus, increased our number. And then Alpha, the little blushing damsel who boasted always that the boys “meant nothing in her young life,” succumbed to his wiles. It seems that he brought with him strife and discontentment. Im- mediately Alpha and Ethel began passing notes and exchanging envious glances, but all of that finally ceased and peace reigned once more. But to tell the truth, this has been a very serious year for us. We have felt that we ought to be more sincere in our work and dignified in our conduct, but Lawrence, Gilbert and Mike are forever trying to be clowns and so every effort that we have made to elevate ourselves and cause our school friends to appreciate us more, has been defeated. Ever since September we Latin students have been gazing longingly and lovingly at Caesar, wonder- ing if we would ever learn to express “purpose” and “result.” But now that we have finished our course and are read}r to enter our Junior year, we feel that we can say with the hero of old, “Venimus, vidi- mus, vicimus.” There are many among us who are talented in literary work as well as outside sports. There’s Grace, the poetess, and La Rue, the writer of such thrilling love stories, and George and Bertram, the power- ful debators. Then there’s Norman, the famous football player that the Post and Chronicle “raved” so about, and Murry, the sprinter, who dons his track suit evenings after school and races around the campus. Charlton and Miriam are real basket ball players and racers. It was on February 19 when we had that never-to-be-forgotten “Tacky-Day.” Oh, the painful mem- ories of that day when we assembled in our classroom. Mr. Johnston stepped in. His brows darkened, his eyebrows nearly met over his nose and his eyes became like narrow slits. He reprimanded us severely and warned us to let that be the last time to attempt such a foolish trick. Our class party was given in March. It was a lovely night and after playing some old games and enjoying such refreshments as cake and punch, we went car riding. After all we managed to get home between twelve and one o’clock. About the last of April we had a picnic at Sylvan Beach. We went in a boat and were very kind- hearted and considerate in asking the Juniors to accompany us, provided they would bear their own expenses. Of course, they accepted very graciously. It was a wonderful day, but the fun of it all was coming back in the moonlight (?). Now what is there left to tell except that John Parker bloomed out in long trousers about the time the buds began to open, and he furnished something new for us to comment upon. This has been a very delightful year indeed, and we leave it with one thought in our minds and one desire in our hearts; that we may all be able to come back next September and resume our work.
