1926 -2- THE ANVIL -:- 1926 Zluninr Gllaaa ihiatnrg What a thrill we, a class of sixty-eight members, experienced as we stood on the platform of Vacation in 1923 and waited for the train of '27! Soon it puffed into the station. We hastily bade goodbye to Childhood and climbed merrily aboard, ready to begin our four years' journey along the tracks of Knowledge. Feeling rather important, we elected Charles Brown as Chief Engineer. Charles led us a very merry ,chase through parties and other memorable events, such as the Wiener roast at w.hich Frank Harris was host. The second year of our journey found only fifty of the original number returning to be labeled Sophomores. An atmosphere of superiority and sophistication prevailing, we chose Joseph Mclnerney to engineer throughout the period. We proved to be ex- ceptionally peppy in athletics and social activities. 1When the third year of our trip arrived, only forty-eight of us received the appella- tion of Juniors, two more having either fallen off or having voluntarily abandoned us before we could reach our destination of Education. Giving the girls some chance to see what they could do, we chose F'anneil Shreve as Chief Engineer, George Ma-llick as Fireman, Mary Stark as Brakeman, and Charles Brown as Conductor. Under their safe and sane guidance we expect to make a great success of the Prom and Banquet to be given for the Seniors, and also of the carnival to be held in the City Hall in May.

We had lbeen told that we were to be initiated into the wonders of High School by the upperlclassmen but their bark was worse than their ls-ite and We soon found that High School was not such a had place after all. After we had sufficiently overcome our greenness we held a class-meeting and elected John Bennett ihigh cockalorum. We also chose our class colors-green and white. We broke into society with a corn roast. The upper classmen tried to 'break up our plans but, as upper classmen often do, they did not succeed. We next gave a party in the City Hall which was enjoyed by all the High School. Our officers safely steered us through the tracks of our first year in High School and we met vacation hoping that our next year would be as successful and satisfactory. We were then Freshies .but now are Sophomores 'and we too can turn up our noses even if it is only to the Freshmen. We are informed that we are one of the peppiest cl-asses that Dear Old Union has ever had and if all will pardon us we .think so too. We are very well represented in athletics both in basket ball and football and we have also kept our interest in the various social diversions. The number of Sophomore names on the Honor Roll proves that our class is not lacking in ability. ' So, fellow classmates, let us continue as we have 'begun and Protect Our Good Name!
