T H E E C H O SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Nine years ago, on the first of September. seven six-year-old urchins very eagerly awaited the toll uf the bell at eight-thirty that they might begin an entirely new and untried phase uf their young lives. Hur teacher was Miss limma Sutton. She helped us over many hard places and was very patient with us although we are afraid her patience was sorely tried at times. She continued as our teacher until our fourth term of school. At this time we were out of Room one and under the instruction uf Miss Cora Kellam, who taught us for two years. Five members mf our present class, Donald Klason, Robert Hanlove, john Smiley. and Leatha Blue, had been together from the first, but in February of our fourth year l.eatha lllue moved away and the next year Margaret XYilliams joined us. ln the sixth grade our teacher was Miss Grace Carson. ln the latter part of the year l.eatha came back and we live members have stayed together since then, although we were joined by other members who have come and gone throughout our school years. ' ln our seventh year, we were in Room three, which was upstairs. Mrs. Nettie Freeman was our teacher. During this year we completed our work in geography and physiology. All of us received very commendable grades. The next year XYilbur Xkvoutl joined us and in February Frances XYilson began school here. Margaret XYllllZl.lllS withdrew from school in the latter part of the term. All of us were working hard for our final examinations. Wie passed these successfully, due to the faithful efforts of Mrs. Freeman. We agree that those exams. sounded worse than they really were, even though they were not altogether easy. The author received an average of ninety-six per cent which was the highest average of the eighth grade pupils of the county. We were delayed two weeks in our Freshman year due to the fact that our new high school building was not completed. The first three weeks of the term were spent in the town hall. During the third week we were initiated by the Sophomores who took their spite for the ,luniors out on us. How- ever, we enjoyed it and felt better after it was over. The name of Freshies still hung over us, but we felt more at home. During this year we made intimate friends with Latin. Algebra and Botanyg having already been friends to English, we remained so. Late in October we gave our first high school party. ln May we enjoyed our first reception and anticipated our reception when we became Seniors. Un the last dav of school we were grieved at giving up our name of Fresh- men. but glad' to become Sophomores. Hur Freshman year was full of stumbling blocks and faults, but to look back over it we are satisfied with the results. Our Sophomore year is now at a close. XVe are once more advanced along life's rugged pathway, one year nearer to our goal, more ready to take our place and do our humble part in making the world a success. As we take the name of juniors we feel that we are deserving of our place and have gained it honestly. -LEATHA BLUE. Page twenty-one
