THE CENTENNIAL SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY As freshmen we came from all sections of the country surrounding Big Sandy, some from the prairie, some from the Bear Paw mountains, some from the brakes of the Missouri river and some were town residents. We were all strangers and too green to get acquainted until we were initiated. This showed us we had a common interest and taught us to stick together. We gradually got over our greenness and finally emerged as full fledged Sophomores. The Sophomore class was organized September 28, 1922, officers were appointed and the machinery of a successful class set in motion. We took an active part in a carnival and did our share to make it a success. Andy Gump and Mannikins, which was put on by the Sophomores, made a great hit. It was said that Andy retained all of his usual character- istics, and showed a few original ones. The Sophomore Class team won its first game in the interclass bas- ketball tournament when it defeated the faculty, February 25. The Sopho- more line-up was Schilling, center; Hansen and Dosia Shults, forwards; Flatness and Grubbs, guards. The game was hotly contested on both sides but the final result was 15 to 14 in favor of the Sophomores. With that start we might have come through with a very successful record had not the tournament been discontinued. The Sophomores won the track meet by more than a comfortable margin, having more points than all the other classes combined. The total number of points taken by our team was seventy-one (71). The next high- est score was thirty-one points taken by the Juniors. The number of points taken by each individual of the Sophomore team were as follows: Dosia Shults, 41; Earl Schilling, 14%; Clifford Flatness, 9; Herschel Smith, 6%. Last year we had a little hard luck but we sure made up for it this year, for this is the greatest majority ever enjoyd by any class since the inter-class track meets have been held and is a record not likely to be broken. This is the last and most significant triumph for our class, and as we go through school we may look back with pride at our record this year. We wish to heartly thank our class sponsor, Mr. White, for his help- ful suggestions and encouragement and for the active interest he has taken in all our class affairs. We appreciate his effort and believe that a large measure of our success was due to his guidance.

THE CENTENNIAL CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of school the Freshmen Class numbered forty pupils. The first thing we did was to organize our class. The following officers were elected: Louise Jaggers..............President Dorothy Morefield......Vice-President Bessie Arnold...............Secretary Walter Godfrey..............Treasurer Olive Lund...................Reporter Mrs. Moe was unanimously elected sponsor. In the first high school party, which was supposed to be our initiation party, the boys were the only ones initiated. The other high school boys locked them in the back recitation room and burned some--------. After the boys had been in there about fifteen minutes the doors were unlocked. As soon as they got out, their shoes were taken off and strung out all over the building. Nothing was done to the girls, but the boys were given a double dose to make up for it. We all had an enjoyable time, however, and every- one departed without any hard feelings. The eighth grade challenged the Freshmen to a series of football games with the understanding that the loser of two out of three games w,as to give a party for the other. We were defeated in the first two games be- cause about two-thirds of our players wouldn’t play either in practice or in the games. In the third game, however, the regular Freshman team came out and won the game with a score of 12 to 0, but it was up to us to give the party. We Freshmen had a waffle feed for our part in the carnival. It was a great success due mostly to our sponsor. In addition to the waffles we sold candy and caps. It was hard work but we took in more money than any other class. The total amount of profit was $47.65. We were quite proud of the fact that our queen, Dorothy Morefield, came out second in the number of votes cast. We lived up to our motto and climbed to the top in the big- gest Carnival ever staged in Big Sandy. The eighth graders waited long and patiently for the Freshmen to give them the party they earned by winning the two. football games. A very enjoyable party was finally given on March 2nd. The first part of the eve- ning was spent in playing exciting games such as “Three Tier Deep,” “Ruth and Jacob,” and “Last Couple Out.” Many slipped and fell down but that only added to the fun. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. Light refreshments were then served. Everyone departed at 11:30, after the eighth grade had given a yell for the Freshmen. Modest and timid, silent, demure, Feeling our way, not always secure But ready for all the good things we had dreamed, This is the way we Freshmen seemed In 1923. Craniums big, crammed full of deceit, This verse is to be finished In 1924.
