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

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

They come into the schoolhouse, Go roaring down the halls, Hut their laughter’s not much louder Than are the Seniors’ bawls. They’re sneered and jeered and tossed about, “Stand in the corner, you.” And there’s not a soul to cheer ’em up When their souls are feeling blue. “The Freshmen are so fresh, indeed.” Said one Junior to me, And on and on these people rave Till all join their plea. If anything goes one hit wrong. It’s Freshmen did it sure. Don’t you think they should be praised For the way they do endure? And talk about initiating. That lasts all the year. Hut it’s better than the eighth grade. For it’s not e’en thought of here. Pagre 29
