SOPHOMORE HISTORY The Freshman class of last year was a very bright class, green and otherwise, so of course the Sophomores of this year are still monuments along the line of brightness. We may not rival our own national statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World,” or even the head-light of an engine, but we are certainly a “bunch” of lucifer matches—eighty-five in number. Our torch bearers are: Miss Haymes.........................................Sponsor. David Harmon .....................................President. LeRoy Walters ...............................Vice-President. Helen Boose .......................Secretary and Treasurer. As members of the Sophomore class, we have extended every effort to do our share toward making various social events of the year a success. Early in the fall, the Sophomores realized the Freshmen needed a little “brushing up,” so we gave them an initiation into the mysticisms of F. C. H. S. On a later date the Freshmen gave the Sophomores a return party. At the opening of the basket ball season, a Sophomore team was organized, which captured third honors in the Inter-Class Basket Ball Tournament. On the football team, Arthur Spain, William Heiser and LeRoy Walters won their letters. Along musical and dramatic lines we also showed ourselves proficient, being represented in the play, “Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh,” and also entertaining the students in a convocation period with a musical program. On the whole, this has been a very successful year, thanks to the Faculty and our Sponsor, Miss Haymes, and when we return next Fall as Juniors, we are determined to make that year an even greater one for ourselves and the Orange and Black.

ORANGE AND BLACK 1024 We, the Freshmen of Falls City High, entered our first year in that sehoo! eighty-four strong. In the middle of the second semester the members of the class were very grieved to lose a cheerful classmate and efficient president in Billy Kirk, when he moved to Osawatomie, Kansas. We later became partially reconciled to our loss of a president in finding an able substitute in our vice-president, Carl Zimmerman. Throughout the year Wilbur Schock served us faithfully and well as secretary and treasurer. When we elected our class officers we also chose Miss Crowe as class sponsor. We found that we were more than justified in our choice and much of our success was due to her. We were looked upon as very green. Toward the last end of the year, however, we were not of such a vivid hue. We were efficiently assisted in this shading process by the Sophomores at our initiation party on September 28, 1923. We enjoyed it immensely and did our Freshman best to return it in October. We were we'l represented in football by Herald Cheever, who was a “sub” on the first eleven. During the year our gii’ls were active in basketball, each practice finding a number of them present. In the tournament we were against the Sophomores, who won by a narrow margin. Our other class event was a party in the “gym.” M. W. ’27 Page Thirty
