History of the Sophomore Class We gathered our shipmates from Clear Lake and Black Brook and from the Clear Lake consolidated school. Fnom our crew we elected Crystal as captain of our boat. Purple and gold floats above and o’er us as beautiful a banner as ever floated o’er any ship, and on her side are painted in brilliant letters, her name, Freshmen Pep. Our gallant ship sailed into the harbor of Clear Lake High School, Sept., 1921. Here we encountered a strange land with strange faces and strange customs. But under the guidance of our elder fellow mates or advisors, and through our own acuteness and attentativeness, we soon adapted ourselves to these customs and became acquainted with the new faces. Now we are enjoying ourselves in the new land, although some of our new acquaintances showed a great deal of impoliteness in coming to our party umnvited, a:id mere especially in attempting to run away with our eats, but we outwitted them, tho, we were just amateurs, and did not know the character of these raiders. We were very much alive during the course of the year and gave the High School many surprises. We were called upon to contribute three of our classmates to the High School Basket Ball teams. We also had four representatives in the Declamatory contest, namely, Odelia, Lila, Lillian and Lucille. After a short cruise during June, July and August, we aga;n sailed in the harbor of C. L. H. S. and docked in the Sophomore class. We were short mates, Freda and Lucille H. But Ada Buchner, Ruth and Myrtle Black, Valla and Gertrude Carruth soon filled the vacancies. This year we have contributed the following mates bo H. S. B. B. teams. Namely, Elva, Grace, Ruth, David, Leland and Raymond. The Sophomore girls challenged the Junior girls to a game of basket ball and defeated them 15 to 14. The Sophomore boys also played the rest of the High School and defeated them. We entertained the Freshmen with a Valentine party, February 13, and from all reports the Freshmen enjoyed themselves. In 1925, after four years, our cruise shall be ended. By that time some of our old crew may have left us, but we iare confident that others will be coming in to nil the old places so that our numbers shall not lessen. A bashful country-man had to go to the city to attend to some business, the transaction of which had required more time than he had anticipated. Being compelled to go to a hotel, he asked for a room, whereupon one of the porters bold him to follow. When they came to what the country-man thot was to be his room, he loudly protested, declaring that he would not share his room with a woman. The porter was puzzled. “What makes you think you are to share your room with a woman?” he finally asked. “Well, don’t I see her name above the door?” It is Ella Vator. (Elevator.)
