THE DIXIE .-.-.-. f '-, SOPHOMORE HISTORY In September of 1926, thirty-two Freshies walked into the gates of Van Buren High School. Although the class has dwindled down to twenty-two, we are still an ambitious group, striving for the higher places. The football season opened last fall with seven members of our class ready for training: Daniel Cornwell, Earl Neuman, John Brandeberry, Herald Neeland, George Pearson, Charles Swab, and Everett Fagan. During the basketball season our class had two girls who played their best in the county games: Lois Reamsnyder and Rosanna Huntington. A few of the class are now training for track. Our class play entitled The Touchdown was very much liked by every one, which proves that we will be in the dramatic circle in the future. The class is well represented in the Glee Club, and we are proud to say that one member of the male quartet comes from our class. Two members of our class have main parts in the coming operetta. Others are in the chorus. March twenty-eighth Lloyd Chavis who represented A. T. H. S. in the Instrumental Contest at Mt. Cory received second place with his selection on the saxaphone. We have a few members participating in the inter-class contest. Ada Williams has written the short story. Last year she tied for the first place, and we hope she will win it this year. The other contestants are: Earl Neuman, Orationg Lois Reamsnyder, Readingg Rosanna Hunt- ington, Piano Solo. All are working hard. There are only two short terms before us yet in which we will do our best to live up ti our motto EXcelsior. -Flossie Norris ---1928l-
