Freshman Class History With only seventeen members the present Freshman class began in 1909 its struggles for an education. It was under the care of Miss Tinkham. There we had to undergo the many trials which the first graders experience. Then to take a step farther we entered the second grade under Miss Keep. Here some of our former class-mates left us and some new ones came in. Next in order came the other six grades under Miss Schoville, Miss Crain, Miss Parsell, Miss Crain, Mrs. Utter and Mrs. Hubbel, respectively. From the beginning until the present time there have been many additions to the class and tho many have left us, we numbered at the first of the present term, forty-six, altho now, since eight have dropped out, we can boast of but thirty-eight, six of whom were of the original seventeen. When the 1917 term opened we made many mistakes and felt very much out of place in our new environment. However we have now gained a better knowledge of the rules and customs of the old A. II. S. and we no longer feel like greenies.” Quickly will pass the short time which separates us from the Sophomore year in which we shall be known by the name that signifies a greater degree of knowledge. We sincerely hope in the future to acquire a high moral character which will make the Angola High School proud to claim us as former students. “HIGHER” We started high school life this year, Without a doubt, without a fear, For troubles disappear, we find, If we have this motto in our mind, “Higher.” Happy hours we’ll spend in school, And always try to keep the rule; And as the school year passes by We'll have this motto for our cry— “Higher.” We'll set a goal, and set it high, And we can reach it if we try; And when we’ve won it, as we will, We’ll just keep working harder still; “Higher.” And when our High School life is done, Our greatest race must yet be won; And when upon this race we start, We'll keep this motto in our heart— “Higher.”

Sophomore Class Poem In the year ’17, in September A class you will all long remember, As Freshmen, indeed, fifty strong Came to boost A. H. S. along. As students we ranked as the best. We seldom failed in a test; And when it came to exemption day We were usually there with a get-away. The school year passed, as years will do, Our Freshmen quarters we out grew; And took up others. O’er the door In green and white was “Sophomore.” This year in study and in deed, Our class has been far in the lead; How well we’ve done, how well we know, The high school record books will show. The algebra, with X Y Z, Before 11s had to bow the knee. Geometry we’ve waded through, The theorems and problems, too. In German, too, our works were grand. We talked like one from Fatherland ; Old Caesar did some running tall, We've chased him up and down all Gaul. In basket-ball our skill was felt, All class scalps dangle at our belt; Our spirit nothing can undo, Next year we’ll add a scalp or two. Sophomore lass History In 1908 forty-one boys and girls entered the first grade, w'hich was then taught by Miss Minnie Tinkham. Of this number, fourteen remain. Some have joined us in the different grades, and others have with drawn, so that our roll now contains forty-five names. We have had kind and experienced teachers in all the grades. We thought our actions as Freshmen deserved very little criticism, but it was with a feeling of relief when we became Sophomores, and could see others get the brunt of the usual Freshman chaff. Our members take part in the various school activities; we are represented m the Glee Clubs and choruses and in the different fields of athletics. Our ambition is to leave a good record behind us. We hope that not only shall all of our present members be with us in 1920, but that many others will share our honors.
