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

THE RESUME 1916 SENIOR PLAY. The Senior play, Six Sharps, One Flat,” was given at the Gehling May 2. It is the story of six sharp girls living in one small flat. The six girls were Katherine Kimberlain, Mabel Grush; Polly Perkins, Mildred Harris; Mabel Maitland, Wilma Russ; Dorothy Dean. Florence Lyford; Joyce Jocelyn, Ethel Pearson: Margaret Merrill, Esther Abbey. The first act took place in the morning, opening with a breakfast scene. After breakfast. Marno, the stenographer, left for town to apply for position. Soon after she left Mrs. Strauss, represented by Edna Stabler, and her daughter, Clarissv Eldory (Myrle Naylor) came to see Miss Perkins about giving music lessons to Clarissv. Mrs. Strauss was a rustic and her attire and talk, together with Clarissy’s actions, brought down the house. Soon after their departure Polly left for the city, after telling the girls that she was expecting a caller, a young man, whom she did not want to see. The girls promised to freeze him. Just before Polly left she brought in the mail. Mabel had a letter asking her to give a reading or two at a social function, and Kit received a check for her last storv that she sent in. The girls determined to have a good dinner once again, and the act closed with Kit's departure for town. The first of the second act introduced Mr. Fitz, the book agent, in the person of Wesley Delaney. Mr. Fitz had a very wonderful book, indeed. After Mr. Fitz left a caller for Miss Perkins came and was disappointed in not seeing her. While there the janitor, Dennis (Ed Fisher), tried to put him out. thinking him a book agent, but the mistake was corrected. Then Mabel gave her readings in order to get in trim. Mr. Morris ( Paul Frederick), Polly's caller, came again, and just after he left Marno returned home with the news that she was engaged to be married in two days to Fred Albright (Arthur Chesley-, who had just returned from Europe. The girls were very much surprised, but offered to lend her gloves, etc., for the wedding. Joyce made a pun and the girls pushed her out of the door and right into Mr. Dare (Bayard Clark), who was looking for his sister's flat. Joyce is confused and Marno comes to her rescue. In the third act Mr. Morris calls for the third time and waits a short time, but Polly doesn't come. When he is gone Dot sings two songs which she is to sing for her professor the next day. After she has finished Mrs. Harding (Nina Shubert) brings her brother. Mr. Dare, to be introduced in due form. They find I red Allbright already on the scene, and all are enjoying themselves when the 1 nglishman. Cholly Chumeleigh, “don't you know” (Joe Gagnon), comes to call. After a few minutes they ask Cholly to be seated, which he does, but, alas, the chair breaks down with him. causing much merriment on the part of the others in the room. As Fred and Mr. Dare try to help him up the curtain falls. In the beginning of the fourth act they are decorating for the wedding. While they arc doing this Mr. Morris comes for the fourth time. Polly is then in and is very glad to see him. Kit is mortified to think that she had told Mr. Morris he was not the right one. for Mr. Morris and Polly were engaged. The curtain falls and rises again for the wedding tableaux. The bride and groom, each preceded oy two flower girls, advance from opposite sides of the room, go down the center and turn. Then the minister (Alan Gilmore) raises his hands for silence. The curtain falls, raising again immediately, to show the bride and groom kneeling with the minister's hands spread in benediction.
