SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY By John Moore Margaret McIntosh-------------------------President Kenneth Farrington Vice-President Beatrice Lee Secretary Frank Hardy Treasurer It was about the first of September, 1916, when we entered that spacious edifice, located in the west end of Las Animas, and generally known as the Bent County High School. Since we were green, and the halls were new, we were lost several times. We knew that we were in the halls, and we knew how to get out of them, but that was the extent of our knowledge. About the time we were going nicely, along came the Sophs and we had a scrap on our hands. This was a slight sack contest, which we won. The Sophs forever held their peace. This comprised our first year in High School. On the morning of the fourth of September last, we marched to that same building for our second year. The birds were singing, the grass was green, and everything was just right. It always is the first day. A small flag contest was started, but owfing to the fact that the flagpole was the only thing handy, and that being made to hold Old Glory, we refrained from any violence. Raymond Kuntz was elected President. When Raymond left for the Navy, Margaret McIntosh was elected to take his place.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY When we were first discovered on the school grounds, we were looked upon as just another species of fruit leaving the mother tree to ripen. But when the Sophs, noted for their wisdom, sounded a proclamation for class conflict, they found us quite calm and composed. This class is the largest that has yet entered High School and therefore, you find us indulging in almost every activity. First the Freshies showed excellent taste in the selection of rose and gray as their class colors. Even the Sophs, who are of a critical turn of mind, found nothing to critize. John Hardy was sufficiently versed in knowledge to be elected President; while Robert Heizer was entrusted with the responsible position of Treas.; Iris Marshall was designated Vice-Pres.; and Ellen Heizer, Sec’y. Although we may still be green, perhaps some day you will find one of our names in print as a great orator, poet or artist. We have in our class some masculine beings that are noted for impersonating the Jones’ family, as was seen in the parade, in which the Freshies won the prize for the best class float. Due to the fact that Freshmen are always generous. This prize was donated to the Y. M. C. A. In the fall the Freshmen enjoyed a picnic, which was held in a beautiful thicket of shrubbery and briars, a few miles from Las Animas. The exciting sport of weiner-roasting formed an important feature. For those seeking romance, this grove is an ideal spot. The Freshjes affected by the soft moon beams and the beautiful star-lit Heavens grew romantic and required the unceasing attention of their chaperon. High School students should beware of this entrancing grove over which enchantress Diana, goddess of the moon, reigns supreme.
