SOPHOMON On the seventh day of September, we, as twenty-seven representatives of the word preen in the superlative degree, (but we didn't know it,) took our places in dear old R II. S. to take up our colors as the class of '17. At the very first we were taught to regard the upper class- men with respect and awe, and to take meekly all jeers and snubs. When we had become accustomed to our surroundings, the learned seniors, the observant juniors, and all the egotistic Soph’s and the Superintendent’s office, we called a class meet- ing and the following officers were elected: T. M. Long, Presi- dent; Pauline Hart, Vice President; Robert Sewell, Treasurer; Harold Blaker, Secretary; and Floyd Wineland, Editor. Our first year in high school saw but one party, and that was a FVesh.-Soph. affair at the home of Leroy Campbell. In due time we passed our green state and began to realize that there were a few things that we didn’t know, but we studied so zealously that (with the exception of a very few) we were ready to take a straight Sophomore course, which con- sists at present of Latin. Geometry, English and Ancient His- tory. HE IIISTORV This time the class met. some familiar faces were gone, but their places were filled by new members ready to work for old B. II. S. This time we numbered twenty-two and in a short time forgot we were ever such “things” as Freshmen. This year we had a new set of teachers to worry and torment, but at that they say we‘re the best behaved class in the school, (of course we're proud of that.) At the first class meeting the officers were elected as follows: T. M. Long. President; Lloyd Clay. Vice President; Floyd Wineland, Secretary and Treasurer: Harold Blaker. Editor. Miss Spangler was chosen class teacher and it was her duty to remind us of our manners while we were “out.” Only one class party, as yet, has been held this year, this being at the home of Homer Tinney where we all enjoyed our- selves immensely. We imagine that, up to the present time, we may have had the reputation of being a little slow, but Whoopee!! when we get started we’re sure to leave a red hot trail. 0 we’re right there! and our class promises to be one of the largest that ever took leave of B. II. S and we sincerely hope that it may be the most useful to the world.
