or as ok axo hlack, um-tim Sophomore Class Notes On September 9th. sixty members entered the Falls City High School as Sophomores, which number was twelve less than our class roll as Freshmen. The first matter for our consideration was the election of class officers, and at an enthusiastic meeting the following were chosen: Vernon Parsons. President; Fran- cis Yoder, Vice President; Margaret Cockeran. Secretary and Treasurer. Red and white were chosen as our class colors, and Mr. Sims was unanimously elected class sponsor. As a class, we enjoyed a feeling of superiority in watching the Freshmen in their more or less bewilderment. but thinking it our duty to make them feel more at home, we planned the Freshmen Reception, which took place in the Gymnasium on Friday night. September 27th. The Gymnasium was prettily decorated in the school colors. orange and black. We not only initiated the Freshmen. but since some of the faculty had not been properly initiated into the High School, we also had the pleasure of taking them into the mystic order of school activities. At the close of the initiation, dainty refreshments were served. With lots of F. C. H. S. Spirit, we took an active part in all athletics. On the football field we had five men. namely: Murray Whitford. Russell Pollard. Vernon Par- sons. Karl Sharritt. and Percy Bowers. We are indeed proud of these men and feel that our class was well represented. In basketball, we furnished two of the players in Percy Bowers and Russell Pollard, and enjoyed the distinction of having Bowers made captain of the team. When the Student Council was organized, we selected from our group two representatives, Vernon Parsons and Margaret Cockeran. In the Sophomore-Freshman Girls’ Glee Club, we furnished several members as well as the pianist for two of the clubs. In the Boys’ Glee Club we made a good showing especially when it came to the programs. On Friday night. January 9th. the Freshmen reciprocated for the reception given to them in September. As is the rule at a gathering of this kind, a fine time was expected and we were not at all disappointed. The Sophomores proclaimed the Freshmen Royal Good Fellows, complimenting them that they had taken upon themselves the responsibility of High School students. Now, as the school year closes, we desire to thank every member of the Faculty for the interest shown in us as a class and as individuals during the past year. And to our genial sponsor. Mr. Sims, whose efforts in our behalf are fully appreciated, we extend our gratitude. We look back over the school work of the past year with much satisfaction. We have enjoyed it all. and outclass members deem it a privilege to have been F. C. H. S. Sophomores in 1919-20. As one becomes attached to familiar haunts, so we have learned to love the name “Sophomore. and are somewhat loathe to leave it. Yet we will be proud to assemble next tall and grace the name “Junior with that same fidelity that we have graced “Sophomore in the past year. Realizing that as we pass to higher grades our responsibilities increase, we feel equal to the demand, and hope that the Orange and Black on its future pages will record the names of all of us as Loyal Juniors.
