 SOPHOMORE SONG Corr.e all you loyal Sophomores, With cheers and songs anew, Lift up ycur hearts and voices. For the dear old “White and Blue.” CHORUS. Dear old High School, Dear old High School, We will always s.ng thy praises. Then Hurrah! Hurrah! for Nineteen Fifteen, We will ever sing thy praises true; Then Hurrah! Hurrah! for Nineteen Fifteen, Cheering for the “White and Blue.” When dangers crowd upon us, Let faith each soul imbue; We’ll cheer as loyal Soph’mores, For the dear old “White and Blue.” We have taken from the ether, The storm cloud’s dusky hue, We have stolen white from a flower, For our colors, “White and Blue.” Cur standard high maintaining, The honor of the Class; Cur characters, too, we are building, As through the school we pass. When we wander in the twilight, Mid the evening shadows cold, With the fading of the daylight, Come back the memories o.d. t t4icSug»s, g»g» » :jn2. s» 3K2«s»4t «gn3 tg.tSMg«g tg gHj »;5ng» s : 18 • S t2x£ v£ • £ • N • • t£ 3

(By MARY MILLER) % As great streams flow from tiny sources, and great things grow from small beginnings, so have we in the sweltering heat of last summer evoluted from a hand full of “Greenies” to a full fledged Sophomore Class. What we have lost in numbers as a Class, we have gained in brains and good looks as individuals. To make the story short, our original number was twenty-six, twice thirteen, and, therefore, doubly unlucky, so one of us was married, another became a carpenter by trade, another went to lead his class in some other High School, and so on until twenty good ones were left to carry on the work here. Our lessons have been difficult, for whenever a Sophomore was met on the street he could be heard mumbling, “Thirty algebra problems, thirty-two lines of Caesar, five pages of German, and eight pages of History all for one day,” and groaning in deepest sighs of agony. If variety is the spice of life, then ours is indeed a spicy class, for we have the Automobile Sport, the Funny Man, the Platform Orator, the Lover, the Soloist, the Musician and “Musicianesses,” the Noisy and the Quiet, and all sizes from tall “Beth” to little Zona. We have contributed our share to the various athletic teams as well as to the Literary Societies and Musical Organiaztions. Our Alma Mater has always found us willing and ever ready to help in any of the High School events, and greatly have we profited by these two years spent at M. H. S. As the years go by we will continue to add fresh laurels to those which we have already won, and concerning which we will tell you in succeeding years, so laying aside the stylus and tablet we bid you, gentle readers, an affectionate farewell until our brilliant deeds demand another hearing. 17
