They were no longer green freshmen, and they were going to prove it hy giving the new freshmen a really honest to goodness hard initiation. The new Sopho- mores did this, and certainly showed the freshm-.n their places. About a week after school started the Sophs had their first class meeting. Here they nominated and elected their class officers. The ones elected were: Royal Day, President: Ruth Sieman, Vice-Presi- dent: lildred Lee, Treasurer: and Frederick Buchanan, Secretary. Ifehruary twentieth the Sophs put on a patriotic program. The program consisted of a play, Solemn Pride which dealt with a letter Ahraham Lincoln sent to Mrs. llixhy, a mother who lost live sons in the Civil VVar. ln addition to this, four girls and four boys ol the sophomore class showed their ahility as Minuet Dancers. Last hut not least lidward llrosseau,our promising orator, gave a force- tul speech on the kindness of Lincoln. Athletics were not neglected hy the sophomore class. Practically all the hoys went out for foot- hall, haskethall and track. Even if not all were successful they, at leavt, showed We-Go that they had tried. Ray VVerdell, whose folks do not allow him to play foothall, went out for Cheerleading. and hashful Ray got on the squad. Two of our most important athletic men were forced to drop ath- letics for a year: Royal Day who was hurt at the York-NVe-Go foothall game. and Louis VVolH who received iniuries from an unpleasant sleigh ride. Almost all soph girls ioined the G. A. A. and made fairly good showing in the inter-class tournaments. May VVollfl, llelphine Chesnut and several other girls were outstanding girl athletes. At the end of the year the Soph put out the last edition of the We-tio. Fred Buchanan and Florence Adda llishop were elected editors-in-chief. The husiness part of the paper was taken care of hy Glen Lynch and La Von Kremer. Thomas Linton was elected Ioke liditor. while the rest of the Soph class acted as English censors. This capahle stali puhlished a reputable XVe-Go. NVe owe much of our success to our class advisoi, Mrs. Iones, and the Soph class of 1930-Sl should like to take this opportunity to thank her for the help she has given us in making our sopho- more year so pleasant and successful.
