Five went out for basketball; the team that played in the Junior tournament was almost entirely made up of Sophomores. Nine went out for track. Not only does the Sophomore Class show up in sports, but many of its members are seen in the several societies of the school. Some of our future “Kate Smiths” have joined the Glee Club. Mabel McNelly was considered so efficient that she was made secretary. The girls with the best lungs have joined the Yeowlers Club. It was discovered that Arcelle Depew has the best lungs and a voice to go with them; so she was made their cheer leader. Eight future Greta Garbos have joined the Dramatic Club and are fast becoming great actresses. It seems that some of our number are domestically inclined, for five boys have joined the Future Farmers Club and eight girls the Rip and Dip Club. After having this training they should make good husbands or wives. Miss Darwin and Coach Simmons, our advisors, have shown us the way all Sophomores should go, and a few are going on that road. As Sophomores we’ve taken many liberties—such as teaching the Freshmen who’s who. In looking over the past and predicting the future, we feel that in the year of 1950 you will find all our names in that famous book “Who’s Who.” And so Here’s to the Sophomores, one and all. Here’s to the Sophomores, short and tall. Though unimportant now we are. In the future our greatness will shine afar. Doris June Mounts. Page 27

Oh. it is a great consolation to know that we are not at the foot of the ladder—that someone else now tills that place! At last we have someone over whom we may be haughty. No one but a Freshman knows how humiliating it is to be looked down upon. With that stage of the game over, we Sophomores feel as if we own the whole high school. A stranger coming to our school can immediately distinguish the Sophomores from the students of all the other classes. A typical Sophomore goes around with his head in the air and a condescending smile on his face. He feels like a king; his subjects are the Freshmen. In the presence of these wandering listeners a Sophomore is in his glory. He tells them how easy algebra and Latin I are compared to those terrifying subjects, geometry and Latin II, and also tells with a careless air how he fools the teachers into believing he has prepared his lessons. His hope, while telling of his wonderful experiences, is that an upper classman won’t chance by. It one does, the Sophomore usually becomes very quiet and does a disappearing act. The Sophomore feels that it is his solemn duty to teach the Freshmen to respect the upper classmen, and he proceeds to do his best to accomplish this great feat. However, it doesn’t seem as if the Juniors and Seniors appreciate this as much as they should. Even though upper classmen do not think 11s very important and although there are only forty-five of us, we seem to get along rather well. For instance, think how the sports of the high school would have suffered if some worthy Sophomores had not come to the aid of the other athletes. Page 26

While primary teachers groaned. Good children, bad children. Some of each degree. Talkative girls and mischievous boys-All will agree. Soon the spring rolled around; The busy schools shut down. Some didn’t pass as others did ; Some moved from Chester town. Second and third and so on up, These children went their ways. Grumbling at their lessons hard. Glorying in holidays. Laughing, playing, never dreaming Of their destinies ahead. On these children went a playing. Reckless of lives they led. Eight years quickly rolled along, And students excited and fearful Joined hands that they might better meet Their high school days eventful. Page 28
