THE RESUME 1916 SOPHOMORES. Again we record the activities of the illustrious Class of 1918. A better C lass never sojourned in the halls of the Falls City High School. Ever active in all phases of school life, enthusiastic for the good of the school and loyal to one another—all these have made this Class the criterion of the Classes. In its Freshman year the Class had several social functions which were thoroughly enjoyed by the members. During the football season of 1914 the Class had several members who won their letters and thus reflected credit on the Class as well as themselves. Then during the basket ball season of 1914-15 the Freshmen boys defeated the Sophomores and the girls' team did some excellent playing. In the field meet of that year the Freshmen boys won second place. The Class also took a prominent part in debate and literary programs. The enthusiasm of the Class of 1918 was contagious and spread rapidly to the other Classes. Last September the Sophomores decided to give a reception to the Freshmen and it was a great success. Many of the numbers created merriment among those privileged to attend and the Freshmen were so well initiated into I ligh School life that some were afraid to speak for weeks afterwards. All had a good time, although the Freshmen probably left the building wiser people. During our Freshman year Miss Heacock was our guiding hand, while during the past year Mr. Beaver has been our advisor. YVe all like him and have profited by his advice. He is loyal to the Class and mindful of our welfare. Other social functions, such as weenie roasts, sleigh rides, and especially the one which wound up at the home of Dearie Baker, have been thoroughly enjoyed. The Class will not soon forget the good time had at the home of John Holt at the St. Patrick’s Day party. A few of the other school members thought the Class might eat too much, and so kindly but quietly removed and appropriated to themselves the refreshments. But even the loss of the ever welcome ‘‘eats at ■ Class party did not spoil our good time. It only made it more memorable. In football this year the boys renewed their efforts and again won their Utters. I11 basket ball the boys did their part and quite a few girls played on the second team. The Class has the largest number of hoys out for track work, and based on the result last year they should win the meet. Some of the members of our Class have been kind to the Freshmen. This kindness was manifested by taking them upon long rides in the country, where they were given the pleasure of their own company on the return journey. A few of the members have moved to other places, and while the Class was sorry to see them go. it knows they are doing their part in the communitv in which they live and transfusing the Sophomore spirit in that locality. The Clas-also was glad to welcome several new members. The officers this year are: President. Kern Falloon; vice-president. Henrv Bassett, and secretary-treasurer, Ernest Frcslie. The Class is large, but not too large, and next year all should he back. The next two years are important in the Class career, and all should lie 011 hand to do their part. The Class bids farewell to the Seniors, and may they all be leaders in the various callings they have chosen and ever mindful that the eye of F. C. 11. S. is upon them! To the other Classes and faculty, the Class expects to see you back next year. The memliers of the faculty who are not coming back have the best wishes of the Sophs. FERN F. 1
