SOPHOMORE HISTORY Two years ago a happy bunch of Freshmen entered Hemlock High School. At first we numbered eighteen, but later four were obliged to leave, which reduced our number to fourteen. We came from widely scattered schools throughout the township, and so for a little while could not pull together, for we knew nothing of “high school spirit.” Mr. Raymo lectured us several times on this sub- ject, and after we had grasped the idea, we discovered that there was nothing more important, and now we are as loyal a class as can be found. After becoming better acquainted we settled down to work, holding two class meetings, one on the sixteenth of September, in the Junior room, for the purpose of electing officers, at which Miss Cassie Loynes acted as chairman. The following officers were elected: President—Thomas Stapleton. Secretary and Treasurer—Martin Bauer. Next year, when we entered school, we found that our original eighteen had dwindled from one cause or another to ten. We were interested from the start this year because we were acquainted with the school and already realized that it was doing us a great deal of good. The one event that marks this year in our high school life was the Sophomore “hop,” given on the 23rcl of November, in honor of the Freshmen. We think that it was the best “hop” given in the history of the school. On the 20th of October we held a class meeting, choosing green and gold as our colors and electing the year’s officers. We hope to pass satisfactory examinations at the end of this year and enter school in the fall of 1917 without losing a single member. GEORGE WILT.

At our first meeting we elected our officers and at several later meetings selected our motto, flower, and colors. When school started last fall we numbered twenty, but a few have dropped out because they have either lost their ambition or are working, so that now we have only fifteen in our class. It is our hope that when nineteen twenty arrives our class will be the largest that ever graduated from this school. Summing up everything that has happened in our Freshman year, we find that it has been spent very happily, altho there has been plenty of work mixed in. DORIS E. STENZEL.
