Class History-Sophomores On the sixth day of September, 1912, forty-eight boys and girls applied for admission to Altus High School. Most of our number were graduates of the eighth grade of our city schools and had no trouble getting admitted, but those who were from other schools had great difficulty in convincing Prof. McClelland as to their ability to pursue the high school course. We shall never forget how awkward and embarrassed we felt as we took our places on the south side of the study hall, the usual place assigned to Freshmen, a short talk by the principal, who admonished us that many of our capers must now end from now on we were to act as ladies and gentlemen. After the ordeal of the first day was ended we felt very much like our high school life would be pleasant and so it has been thus far. We achieved many things as Freshmen. When we gathered as Sophomores in 1913 many of our class failed to return. A few had moved away, others decided foolishly that they did not need an education. During our high school career thus far we have contributed much to place A. H. S. on the athletic map. Sidney Wright, Phil McNeil, and Bert Philips have won many laurels. We are at work this year determined to make our second year better than the first. You will hear from us later on. Just now we are contented with industriously pursuing our studies, for it seems like the teachers give us about all we can do. J. N.
