We were glad when we finally reached High school, although it is much different from what we expected. For one thing, romance is looked at in an entirely different way from what we were used to. And there is much more difficult work than in grammar school, but in years to come, we hope to conquer it. Although we don't participate in many activities, we performed our part in Field Day as bestwe could, only to be defeated by the Sophomores. Our class is rich in the way of talent. Many of our girls can play the piano, and of course they all sing in the Girls' Glee Club. So as you can see, we have made a good start, although small, in climbing the staff of life.

The Sophomore Class is composed of twenty-two students, under the leadership of Mr. Diephuis. This class is well capable of competing with the other classes in sports, which was especially shown by the girls, who defeated the Freshmen on Field Day. But to them, we think, the most important activities are the extra-curricular ones. You can be certain that if there is mischief afoot, or an over-abundance of laughter in our happy halls, the Sophomores might very well be in the middle of it. Their most favorite pastime, though, is studying, and they will probably never forget all the extra minutes in study halls which they spend really studying! But in spite of all their studying , they always manage to represent themselves on the Scholarship Society. They have also taken honors in both music and speaking in our Festivals. We think they'll really succeed--if they keep up their class spirit for the next few years!
