Sophomore Class Poem .illi- Betvveen the Freslimon and Junior, ln the liegiiiiiiiig' of their school cureer, Gomes the time in the life of the student, That is known as the Sophomore year. As Sophomores we have entered these hall To climb up the pathway of fame, And though the road is iutrroxv and straight, Vtfe hope to possess thc Junior name. Our Glass flower is the lily fair, The llower of virgin liglitg' Like lilies may nature hold us forth and say Behold ,their thoughts of white. ttfllimb though the rocks be rugged May we ever uphold and bear, For only those that are determined Gan laurels expect to wear. Lct us pausenot, then not falter, For futc is in our hand. llut climb ever onward and upxvord, To vvherc our feel would stand. 'lliougzh the rocks bc rough and rugged Our victory is sublime, Thus let us step bravely forvvard, And climb, and climb, und climb. Marry Ai of fate, idcrson, '25 45

Sophomore History It is with great pleasure, that the Historian of the Class of '25 records the happenings ot' the past. Some of these events bring sad- ness, others joy and gladness. tThe world's history is a divine poem.t This definition of history, which James A. Garheld gave, is excellent, and permit me to say, it applies readily to the sophomore class. VVe, in- deed, are a great class. VVith our musicians, reciters, actors. histori- ans and other notables, we have made ti. T. H. S. more fa-mous than in the past. A ' On the first of September. 1921, exactly five dozen of us 'came rolling in through the great entrance of education. Like so many eggs -we certainly were fresh, but it was a gre-at question in our minds, tit' we had anyj whether our skulls had sufficient hard shells to warrant permission to remain. During this year we gained all the vast store of knowledge, which is responsible for any topheaviness one may notice about us now . One by one our members kept dropping out until forty-four passed examinations for Sophomores. Through the summer still others lost the educational fever, and at the beginning of this term only thirty-five came back. Of those who departed from G .T. H. S. seine have gone to other school, others have gone into the world to take up life's struggles. VVherever they may be. we wish them success, and are proud to know that those who have entered other schools, stand as honored members in their classes. ln return for the lost ones, we also have received members from other schools. As a class, as anyone can tell you, we are socially inclined. Dur- ing our Vresliman year we had many gay and exciting times. At the annual HalloWe'cn party, our class was well represented. This term, on account of the growth et' the school, we have separate, class parties. The Sophomore class has had a Christmas party and have been well represented in the Juniors and Seniors parties. The freshmen were very kind in inviting us to the Valentine party which they held. VVe are not going to be the smallest element in contribution to or repre- sentation in the picnic this coming spring. . ln athletics our class excclls all others, one member making the Varsity and three others as t'subs.'7 It is to the Sophomore class that G. T. ll. S. owes much of its glory, honor and fame. The girls as well as the boys are active in basketball. VVe are indeed verv iroud of our class both in social affairs and athletics. VVe now thank the teachers, taxpayers and board of' education for making it possible for us to acquire a high school education. VVe hope the next two years will be as pleasant as the last two. VVith these few rambling remarks, we bid adieu until another year. . X Lavina Montgomery. 7 i e I 44
