14 C. H. S. SPECTATOR Sophomore Class History Wm. McCabe ’ll In the year 1907 A. D. a cl ss of nine graduates from the Cloverdale Grammar school graduated with great honors. This class set the example for the classes following by having elab¬ orate graduating exercises in the Congregational Church. Out of the nine graduates eight entered the Cloverdale Union High School. During the year the enrollment was increased by the entrance of new members, making a freshman class of fifteen. Throughout the year they as Freshmen took a promi¬ nent part in athletics, social functions and O. Y. L. ,society work. Three of the boys were on the basket-ball team, and so were two of the girls. Five of the boys were on the track. Never in the history of the Cloverdale High School has a sophomore class held the honors of this class of 1911. Its members hold the highest offices the student body can offer: those of president and vice president. Our boys hold the re¬ sponsible positions of manager and captain of both track and basket-ball teams. The class is also proud of the fact that two of their honorable members have been chosen as leaders for the coming Commencement debate. Not only the boys have held these positions, but the girls, too, have won their share of renown. Two of the sophomore girls are on the C. H. S. basket-ball team and they have also held some of the highest positions of the 0. Y. L. society. They all intend to finish their high school course in the C. IT. II. S. and graduate with honors as high or higher than any of the preceding classes.

C. H. S. SPECTATOR 13 Junior Class History In 1906 the present Junior Class From Grammar into High School pass. Bashful Freshmen, ten in all, Enter the large Assembly hall. English, history, algebra they do; Such Latin students none ever knew. They are the first when it becomes a rule To give a picture to their loved school. When Sophomores by two they do diminish; Eight members are there now who hope to finish. Two athletes have they now of wondrous fame. Class record in its studies is the same. At last five members enter Junior year, Whom all the other classes do revere. Of great importance is this little class The seniors boasting only of one lass. And now their Junior year is almost done, They glance back over their work and fun. And looking to the future, too, they see That soon wise seniors they are going to be. Hazel Browne ’10.

Florence Lyle ’12 In September, 1908, a jolly, noisy, bustling, mischievous class of boys and girls undertook the important step of enter¬ ing high school. It was 1 indeed a novel experience. Their upper-classmen seemed to them so wise and learned. They spoke in such dignified and intellectual language and conversed upon such ponderous and scientific subjects, they recited their far advanced lessons with such ease, and they all had such dig¬ nified ways that the poor little freshmen felt their extreme ignorance with humiliation. But what has become of all these trembling little infants? Why, they have gone almost from memory, and in their stead, there reigns an accomplished class of young ladies and gentle¬ men who are well versed in Latin and mathematics. This brilliant class has with its abilities produced many honored and renowned scholars. During the year the freshmen have been freely chosen to Bold important offices in the literary society, in which they have proven themselves as capable as their predecessors. In recognition of freshman capability, the editor-in-chief of this, our first printed C. U. H. S. paper was elected from among the members of our class. Not only does the freshman class shine out brightly in school and literary society, but also in athletics; the captain of the girls’ basket-ball team being a freshman, as also was one of the star goal players. So, if the freshmen keep up the brilliant career they have begun, what will they have accomplished by the time they be¬ come seniors? 15
