SOPHOMORE HISTORY We'1'e a jolly gang uv twinty-sivun, best non az the Sillic Sofmores, an' our histerie is znost interestun' whin We'll Writ up. I haf to write this here 'cause Iilll the histeriun uv the Sofmore klass, an' I'm proud to think I've also been a member uv this klass sense it's beginnin', me 'n Vesty bein' it's furst pupils. We uns started out together in the prymairy klass an' as we went along we jist picked 'em up all along the Way, sum frum the guntree an' sum frum uther klasses, til we sueseaded in roundin' up the gang uv which Iim now a-writin'. An' jest tu think that af- ter me 'n Vesty startin' the class we couldn't keep on leadin' it in everything. ' . Everyboddy allways did think We wuz about the wurst class in skool. but we aint. When we wuz aitht graders we wuz skorned 'and agin when we wuz Freshmans we wuz skorned and an' now we're Sof- mores an' we're skorned agin. But maybee you'll simpythiz with us when you've read over histerie fur this yeares wurk. After we'd been in skool aboute two weeks last Siptimber, why, ouer teachers they told all the diff- runt klasses tu meete an' organize. So we decided to ineete a thursday evenin' aftnr skool an' this we done. Met rite up in the big aude- toreum Qaz Miss Little kalls itj where the big brown pianer is. . Fust thing, Roger, who wuz president last years, told us we'd better git quiete an' settle down, so we did. I-Ie axed us who we wanted fur president an' Hester 'lowed az how .Iuel wuz the wun she wanted so she wuz it. Then Roger asked us agin' who we wanted fur Vice President. Ever wun uv us agreed that Roger wuz the best 'un an' he wuz 'lectcd rite there. We ginerally 'gree on inything thutherin wants to do so Nell King's our Secretary: Jetty, she's our treasurer an' Evy shels our poit. Whenever a Soph gits into trouble the hul class hit takes the blame, an' now noboddy ainlt s'prised to hcre the teachers say, A Sophomore did that and the whole class 'll be to blaim. But hits mighty seldom we're to blaim fur we're too buzy to do innything wnrse'n write notes, throw chalk, stick somebody with a pin, put onions on the stove, stew Miss Little's fish 'ats been in alcohoul, er sich likes az that. Wie made us a klass song an' a' klass yell, we did, an' when we begun practisin 'em you'd ought ha' saw sum o' them Junyers, Senyers, an' Freshniens slink away: an' uthers wuz charmed. Then they wuz offul sorry 'bout us l1avin dark red and navy blue fur our kulors, fur couse all the klasses ud a wanted thzr -kountry's kolors if they'd a thunk uv it first, fore we dicl,'but they didn't, so we've got iem. They tormented us several days 'bout not noboddy in our klass rankin' wun first quarter. but our sister Vesty she saved us by sayin' this 'here quotation, So wiz, so yung they say, do ne'er liv long. An' then they all looked sad, an' the freshmans wuz so ckeered uv dyin' that the verry next quarter we had more reppersentatives in klass wun an' they did. Ike ranked wun an he'es a takin' five subjects too. Course it took sum wurk but Ike 's a smart little feller an' not a bit lazy. We 're sech, smart people in English that Miss Bis- hop ordered too books at the same time fur ns. Wun wuz the Vision uv Venice, an' th'utl1ern wuz the Merchant uv Sur I-Iawnfaullf' Miss Bishop wuz offul s'prised we read so good an' giv' such good s'nopsises to the stories. She wuz 'sprised ,bout how quick we learned to talk good English an' bout how we kood spell so good on our papers fur glass. We've had a heap a good times az we've went along. Now, there's Nell King, she giv us a. klass partie rite away after 'skool kummenced an' we had a oiful good time Cwuzn't no teechers therej an' Hes- ter giv us anothern just fore Krismas. Then the teechers told us that no klass kouldn't hav only two partys in wun yerej an we'd already had two so that made ns feel purty bad. But honestly, Miss Little CSl1G7S got a heart after ally she left so sorry fur us that she jist giv us a partie wun evening' Qfrum four to five o'clockj in the lahratory Cthat's whur she keeps bugs an' snakes and so ony. She had lots uv good things to eat. She had pearch, oysters, mus- sels, grashoppers, snakes, froges, etc. QShe never giv us non, thoj. When wc went to Miss Little's partie she had us to play a new guessin' game that I never had hcered to a partie afore. This wuz the way it went. She axed us questions 'bout animals an' we guessed the answers to 'em. Professor Mack Pearson said he 'speetcd sum uv us girls laying awake nights thinkin' uv the boys. Hain't mainy uv the Sormorcs docs that. We're too busy trying to think uv sum way to git out uv handin' in a notebook er a storie in English. 'We're mighty good hands at this last mcnshungd trick. The followin' are a few uv the 'senses we giv: Pa kindled the fire with my paper, The baby chawcd my paper an' I didn 't hav ro time to write anotl1er'n, I for- got my notebook an left it at home on the maysheQn, 'LI kouldn't git no referunce book, or my pen an' inks gone an, I knowed ye wouldn't take it if I writ it with a pencil. Well, az I said afore, we're awful good wurkcrs an' I think ouer mottoe: Keep a klimin', jist suits us to a T, don't you? LITTLE LOCALS Miss B: Vesta, you may tell the story of 'Maud Muller! Vesta: fEnding the story.j And neither the Judge nor Maud were happy. She married a poor farmcr and he a rich lady. Lcslie: Now, Miss Bishop, why didn't they jes trade? ' Isaac: QIn his room translating Caesar.j ---- Cacsar was -- CaLsar was, Cexplosivelyj A blamed fool. George Ryan was asked, What was going on in England in 1789'I George: They had begun to colonize America. Bess: Cin Junior Englishj Joe Johnston is pretty. , Joe: Well, I can't help it. Floyd: Say, George, which is the brightest class in the school? George: Seniors, of course. Floyd: That's whcre you're wrong. The Freshies are' so bright the teachers wear smoked glasses. Isaac P: Joe, I suppose yon are going to have 3 hog killing time in your society this evening, aren't you? - Joe: Yes, but don't let that keep you away, we always protect our guests. l Miss B: Ora, you may correct this sentence: 'Isn't our Algebra lesson lovcly?' Ora: 'tIsn't our Algebra lesson ridiculous? Prof. Mc.: CIn Freshman Algebra class.j Ula, are you chewing gum? gCErppirf?y absprbed in the chewingg I run gc a o ern. ,- Prof: Ula, are you chewing gum?
