Sophomore Class History In the fall of nineteen twenty-two, a happy group of Freshies entered the Berne High School. We were the largest Freshman class that ever entered this high school, number¬ ing fifty-six. We were very unfortunate to lose the following members during the year: Lily Moser, Paul Yoder, Senaid Flueckiger, Velma Habegger, Maud Mast, Helen Teeter, Kenneth Ford, Louis Dolch and Hiram Nussbaum. The school introduced mid-year promotions, and in this manner thirteen new Fresh¬ men entered high school in the mid-year, and also two other members were added, Henry and Edward Ehrsam, making the total number of : Freshmen, forty-nine at the close of the school year. During the year we had several memorable parties including the initia¬ tion given us by the Seniors. We entered our Sophomore year finding a few of our members missing and later in the year several other members left us by moving away or stopping school. After the second semester, Ruth Schlechter, by carrying extra work, became a Junior. Now, at the end of our Sophomore year our class numbers forty-three. The class of nineteen twenty-six is honored by having furnished four members of the basket-ball team. We showed cur basket-ball ability by taking the inter-class basket¬ ball tournament. Our members also shine in other lines, such as: orchestra, glee clubs, high school chorus, and also a few of our members showed fine work in the spelling and latin contests, as three of the spelling contestants were Sophomores. Ruth Speicher re¬ ceived first place in the county Latin contest at Decatur. We enjoyed a few parties during our Sophomore year. We showed our literary- spirit in taking active part in the literary programs. Ore member of our class, Free¬ man Burkhalter, won first in the violin solo, another member, Elizabeth Habegger, won first in the vocal solo, in the annual literary society contest. They were both Arenas. They represented Berne in the violin and vocal solo at the county contest at Decatur. Since we first entered the high school as Freshmen, a great change has come over us; we have caught the spirit of our school and anticipate with both joy and sadness the great responsibility which will weigh upon us when we attain the name of “Upper Class- men -” Lucile Amstutz, ’26.
