Junior Class History J. S. ’ 12 . In September, 1908, a jolly band of boys and girls entered the High School. They were not awed by the upper-class¬ men as Freshmen usually are, but took everything as it came and never made a complaint. They took the lead from the start and were soon recog¬ nized as the best Freshmen class ever known to enter C. H. S. They held prominent positions in the student body and also in athletics. Never in the history of Cloverdale High School was there such a Sophomore class. Three of the members were on the basketball team. The girls also took active part in girls’ ath¬ letics. The class has decreased from fourteen to seven members, but the remaining few still keep up the old-time reputation.

History ot the Class of 1911 H. B. ’ii. On September 4, 1907, the class ' 11 entered Cloverdale High School fourteen strong. They soon got the run of things and settled down to their share of work and play. During the Freshman year one member of this class played on the C. Id. S. basketball team ,and five were on the track team. Freshmen also held several important offices in the O. V. L. Society. As Sophomore , they dwindled to nine in number, but took the leading part in school activities. The highest offices in the O. V. L. Society were held by members of this class. 1 hey also filled the positions of captain and manager of the basketball team, and captain of the track team. In the last two years the class has decreased in number, but its influence in the school has steadily grown. Now the five who are left will graduate with the highest honors on June first. They feel that they can look back on four well- spent years in High School. They can truthfully say that no previous class has done more for their school.

Sophomore Class History Gertrude Ludwig ’13. O11 June 18, 1909, twelve of us graduated with highest hon¬ ors from the eighth grade of the Cloverdale Grammar School. This class was the first to give a farce at graduation in the Union Hall. Of twelve graduates only seven entered High School, but soon the number increased to thirteen. As Freshies we obtained great honors and took active part in the O. V. L. Society functions. Many of us held prominent offices in O. V. L. and some have been on The Spectator staff. One of our boys was on the track, while another played on the basketball team. Then came a long, pleasant vacation and after that school again. When we returned to school we had just ten in our class. Sophs, all is well with us. Though we are few, con¬ sidering other classes, nevertheless, there seems to be a prom¬ ising future in store for us. One of the girls of our class won first prize at the Petaluma Fair for entering the best poster. That is surely something considering all the schools which entered the contest. Two of the Sophomore class are to take part in the High School play to be given in June. And, now, although we look back with regret to a success¬ ful and happy year that is drawing rapidly to a close, we look forward with still greater pleasure to a bright and prom¬ ising year as Juniors. 30
