SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY maledlctions the h1stor1an 1 A has been dragged fron W' ' her books to make a record of the wondrous deeds and glorious achievements of perhaps the most illustrious class that has ever iilled a chapel section. The class of 1918! When did these words first come to have a meaning to us? Why, it was on a certain forenoon in September 1914, while all nature seemed to be standing in solemn expectancy of some unpreced- ented event, the class of 1918 held its first election and so became a class indeed. At this time we chose Gay Shuman as our president. Our re- putation as an extraordinary class was well established at this early period. Our very number attracted widespread attention and the unusual good qualities of its members assert- ed thernselves. Progressive, active and enerietic in all high school af- fairs, we made our presence felt. We took part in all athletics and here we won renowned fame. The time now passed swiftly towards the end of the term, and our first year with its trials and tribulations was over. ITH sundry threats and The opening of the fall term found us in our accustomed places once more, but now full-fledged sopho- mores. This year we again elected Gay Shuman class president and took as our sponsor and advisor Mr. L. E. Reynolds. With such persons at our head we could not help but succeed. In the beginning of the year we gave the Freshmen an opening reception, then we gave one to the school, and later several Fresmen-Sophomore receptions were celebrated. When the time came for the Sophomores to entertain at Chapel we willingly took up the task and performed it to the best of our ability. The program was of a musical nature, and the boys' chorus, composed of Erwin Tooth- man, Sterling Brohard, Guy Haught, and Harland Gillelandg and the girls' chorus composed of Margaret Cowan, Lillian Mitchell, Ethel Haught, and Lillian McElroy, rendered the music. Again we won fame in athletics. Where would the basket ball or base- ball be if it were not for Shuman, Underwood and Brookover? And in football we have Underwood, Brook- over, Straight, Gilleland, Fluharty and Villinger. In girls' basket ball we are well represented by Ruth Weaver, Lillian Mitchell and Pearl Waters. Summing up all these facts, dear reader, could you find a better class in Fairview or out than the class of 1918? Now, with this brief portrayal of the past and with the most brilliant prospects for the future, the histor- ian lays aside her pen, fully admit- ting that the half has never been told. Lillian McElroy.
