Our class colors, which were blue ami gold, were chosen in the fall. Our officers were entertainers of the best. Algebra, English and other studies gave us no rest. Some took four subjects; carried one and dragged three. Few dropped out and the rest fought on for victory. Our Sophomore year we started with the same colors on high, Tho’ only twenty-six of us to our books did pry. For our vice-president we chose Russell Thumm. president Viva Shell. Because they are no slackers but do their duties well. For secretary. Natalie Preston, and treasurer. Kenneth Gray, Because they from meetings did never stray. Now we are going smoothly along that bright rocky road. Our Geometry is by no means a light load. We are doing fairly well with our other studies. Tho the Ancient History names make our tongues muddy. With English and Bookkeeping we are getting along fine. Though we are stuck in the mire some of the time. Now with our duties we are getting along fine, Altho two more of our classmates have left our line. Our parties were not neglected at all. But we were denied SUCH parties again that fall. We are waiting impatiently for the dawn of day When instead of Sophomores, we shall be Juniors gay. —C. CM ’25. Paice Twenty-two
