Dyersburg High School - Trojan Yearbook (Dyersburg, TN)

Sophomore Class History On a bright September morning that will be forever remembered by us there was a very likely-looking array of specimen assembled in the Freshmen Study Hall. Some hailed from nearby towns while others were local lads and lassies. The class consisted of diamonds in the rough that, by '29, will be polished to dazzling radiance and will leave old D. H. S. with honor. We fearlessly entered upon the course of baffling algebra and into mysterious Latin with the vim and vigor that has been, and will continue to be, conspicuous in the class. The course was hard and the way was slow but by the end of the year when the haze had cleared the former Freshman Class had annihilated the hosts of Ignorance and were ready to receive, as a fitting reward, promotion to the next plane of learning. Hardly as many assembled at the beginning of this, another school year, as at the beginning of last. Now, as Sophomores, we can fully understand the mirthful glances that were directed toward us by the upper-classmen. We are even duplicating their performances on the new Freshman Class. At the beginning of this year we entered with renewed and even added anxiousness and desire to gain the knowledge that is ever before us. Thus we started our Freshman career. Now some have excelled in math, some in writing, others in debating and some' now possess the coveted letter of Dyersburg High that is only gained by hard work, perseverance and self-denial. Still others have forged to the front as leaders in the various student activities. Thus, in ending our history of this, a passed school year, we are prorud to say with all truthfulness and belief that we have done our utmost to promote and further the best interests of the school-not for ourselves but fofr the good of the school. --R. H. V. '29. Page twenty-eight
