A LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-1924 History of the Sophomore Class T is indeed a great pleasure to the historian of the class of 1926 to compile the history of such a brilliant CU class. One September day, in fact a very memorable day to the class of '26, the upper classmen of Allen Township High School, looked with good natured tolerance down upon a class of extraordinary verdancy. Nevertheless, teachers and upperclassmen alike soon began to recognize, yes, and to even appreciate us, for they realized that we were an asset to their beloved A. T. H. S. ln athletics our class shone, for our boys contributed considerable assistance to the football team by practicing to the utmost of their ability. Likewise in basket ball both our boys and girls gave their best to the school team, and three of the girls were rewarded by first team letters. The High School chorus was greatly augmented by our presence, and when the orchestra was organized, again our class came to the fore by furnishing a goodly percent of its players. Our next brilliant success was at the lnterclass Contest, where our upperclass- men were gathered in gala array to assist in and witness our defeat. And they were not disappointed. We came out in the rear. However our reading won first with a large margin, and placed high in the county Oratorical Contest. In track, again we lived up to our standards by winning the Interclass Field Meet, and many of the members of our class assisted in helping the school to Win the County Track Meet. After a well spent vacation we gathered again in our classic halls and once more maintained our high standards of excellency. ln fact, this year among our numberous wonders we have proved to our teachers that we can nearly bisect an angle and that we can successfully ride a steed through the Gallic War. Once more our boys worked hard on the gridiron and several from our class participated in the games, hence the high reputation which A. T. H. S. football team created for itself last football season. Then the ever welcome basketball season 'round again and the captain of the girl's team was elected from our class. Morever, five out of ten on the team came from the sophomore class. And also the boys, by carrying on the work which they began last year, helped to make of our team what it was. At the lnterclass Contest our class placed second, with three out of five num- bers winning second. ' To say the least, we have not done badlyg and while our modesty forbids that we should raise ourselves as a standard, we would suggest that the class that done as well may be justly proud.

LEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-431-92-4 Freshmen Class History HE Freshmen Class has been called upon in its infancy for a contribution to the first annual of the Allen Township Centralized School. Although we have enjoyed but one year with the upper classmen, we feel that our short history is worthy of notice. The class entered upon its High School career with seventeen boys and sixteen girls. Each one was welcomed and duly initiated into high school at the annual Freshmen Reception, held September nineteenth, in the school auditorium. During the year the Freshmen have taken part in various school activities. Some of the boys tried to be football playersg none of them starred, however. Among those who played basketball are Trevalyn Abbott, Ruthanna Brinkman and Clair Flanagan. The annual lnter Class Contest was an event looked forward to by all and especially by contestants. Although we did not win the cup, some splendid numbers were given by the Freshmen and the oration delivered by Gershom Poole won second place. lfve hope that in years to come a large number of our class will be stars in football, basketball, baseball and track. We also hope for a good record in class- work because, after all, that is what counts. -...-.-......-.. .....-................... 4-.-....4... 4-... ...--..........-.....-............... .... --.....-.....-. .r, qlflizenty-One
