Sophomore Class History S VERDANT FRE SHMEN, twenty in num-ber, first we came to the Caruthersville High School with no other intention than to have a rattling' good time. The teachers did not seem to agree with us on that point, so we soon abolished the idea and began work. In passing to class, we started early to avoid the rush of tormenting Sophs, jolly Juniors and dignified Seniors, with whom we had as little to do as we possibly could. The only things that made life endurable for us were the dreams of the time when we would be Seniors. We were not very enthusiastic over athletics, nevertheless we had two members who gained a place on the football team. Early on the first day of school in the year 1910, there were seventeen of us who had survived the trials and tribulations of the past year, and there were three new members waiting to join our new happy throng. Therefore we again numbered twenty. As we entered the study hall, we felt more at ease and soon found ourselves smiling over the actions of the Freshies to whom we had very reluctantly surrendered our former beloved’name and place. As Sophomores, we have three members, who made the football team, and one girl who gained a place on the basket ball team. We are living in the hope that our next two years will be as pleasant as this one, but that they may contain less work. jRotto: A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing.
