Kbe Glues of l9ll Phew! We have done it too! It really isn't very much as we thought it would be, but we are like the classes that have gone before us, in that- we experience feelings of joy mingled with sadness. Although we resolved upon entering the big front door of Central for the first time, that we would not do as other Freshmen had done, we must have been a great deal the same, save for our size, physical and mental. In that re- spect we were unusual and at times after some particularly mortifying exper- ience in an Auditorium meeting, our Principal would tell us so and soothe our wounded feelings. As Sophomores we again resolved to be different, to pity the poor Freshmen and lend them a helping hand now and then. But when the F resh- men appeared, a wave of understanding swept over us, the newcomers behaved exactly as we had the previous year and we had to laugh. We maintained the good record of scholarship which we had made in our first year and in athletics we rendered ourselves famous by winning the inter-class basketball championship. Last year we had our first real taste of High School life. We were no longer scattered individuals with only studies in 'common. We became an organized body. Our president was Homer Varnerg Vice-President, Anna Wellsg Secretary, Helen Ormsbyg Treasurer, Paul Grayg Executive Com- mittee, Charlotte Allen, Frankie Russell, Glenn Hoover, Catherine Moss and Hugh C-ray. We were entertained at delightful parties by the class of I9 I 0 and had equally delightful parties of our own. The majority of men on the football and track teams were members of l9I l and again we carried off the honor of inter-class basketball championship. This year has been even more eventful. The football team was still made up mostly of our men, we won the track meet by an overwhelming Eznority of points and for the third time we were champions in inter-class basket- a . Florence Perkins distinguished the class and herself by winning the silver medal offered by the State in the Sons of the Revolution essay contest, and Hugh Gray won honorable mention which entitled him to the silver medal offered by the local Chapter. Helen Brown, whose essay was chosen to rep- resent the school in the Columbia contest, was entered in the finals in which the five best essayists in the State compete fora University scholarship. Class night and commencement are still before us but we have no reason to believe that they will be inferior to former ones.

IIELEN MILDREIJ Alil-IRS The inildest nmnncr and gentlest heart. This blue-eyed girl is smiling and pleasant to everyone. She has 11 great affinity for German, and Shakespeare's works fascinate her, but French is her favorite study. She intends to be a perfect housekeeper, which, in this age of suffragettes is surely a delightful and refreshing ambition. , I ROBERT MAURICE ANDERSON lIc's a good fellow and 'twill all be well. Ruddy locks are not the only attraction about our blue-eyed Robert. He has a way of his own over which we all wonder. Robert says that Mr. Fisher and Miss Raines have won him over to the Socialist party.
