J 533354 n fFl?1!'! Sophomores of I922 HIC Sophomores of Valley junction High School have every reason to believe that they are strictly up-to-date in every department of the school activities. ln fact, we believe that nothing better was ever in- vented or will be invented before 1922, and then we hope to leave a model which every Freshman will want to purchase for his own use. lf you have any reason to doubt our ability to do this, ask the faculty. They ,are acting as salesmen for this car and they will tell you that it generally holds an ample supply of gas to travel a long distance at a very high rate of speed, although occasionally it is found some distance from home with its tank empty. 'l'he Seniors may tell you 'that our self starter-does not work very well, but when once started nothing less than the emergency brake can stop us. NYe were represented on the football team bv nine of our classmates and from reports that came to us of their record, we believe that they proved to be true accelerators. A 5 In the declamatory contest our representatix es were veritable spark plugs and the audience were electrified by their efforts. In tl1e basketball tournament we, like all good Sophomores, got the big head and had a regular blow-out, but managed to get in on the rim and win first and second place. This surprised the juniors very much and made the Freshmen be- lieve that nothing better in the line of steering-gears were to be found, than was offered in this model. 'We were also well represented on the Valley High Basket- ball Team. 4 Next year we hope that our showing will be even better than this year, and that the changes in the new model will make it even more serviceable and more attractive.
