T iiii Sophomore class entered school last fall with an enrollment of sixteen. Since that date two of the members have dropped out, Mabel Ledford and Susie Smith. And one member, Yell Nobles, has entered. The officers elected for the year are Alice Grace Yordi, president, and Mabel Ledford, secretary. To prove that we are the peppiest pupils in Cloverdale High School, we have two distinct successes to our credit. The girls’ baseball team challenged a team composed of any of the members of the other classes. Our winning score was 27 to 7. The prizes awarded by the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce for the best essay on Cleaning up Cloverdale were both won by members of our class. The boys who are taking active part in athletics this season are Byrnelle McClary, Alfred Imperali and Yell Nobles, with Merlyn Pearce as yell leader. In the school orchestra we are represented by Elbert Gibbens, first violin, and Merlyn Pearce, clarinet. We also claim three members of the Girls’ Glee C lub. So that, taking it all in all, we feel that we have our share of activities and honors.

O n this summer evening in April, I am thinking of my school life. Deepl) lies in my mind the fond remembrance of that day in August, 1919, when seventeen poor, bashful, and innocent Freshmen were enrolled in dear old C. H. S. It was a large class, but still we feared our upperclassmen, as all baby Freshmen do. Nevertheless, we did not lack ambition, courage and ability. Ah! now we are Juniors. The Junior Class of 1922! We are now on the path of success. Three years of school life are almost completed. Behind us we leave a spotless record. We will not stop to recount the many trials and joys of our class, though the way in which we met both kinds of experiences is highly commendable. Before us lies the future, not the past. Every member of the class knows the importance of education in this day. As Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors we have always been prominent in school activities. Forward! is our watchword. When finally we reach the goal we have so long been striving for, we will proudly think of the class roll: Betty Bentley, Bernice McPherson, Bernice Grant, Carmelli Perli, Lelia Cannon, Ethel Smalley, Mary Bassetti, Clifford Adcock, Aldice Saunders, and Wash Hiatt. The Juniors hope that all of our members will labor to the end of the four years though it has always been said, “greatness comes only to a few.

A e were not just sure what was going to happen to us and regarded all conversa¬ tions and meetings of the upperclassmen with suspicion. However, we were left alone for the first few weeks. Then came the announcement that we were to be initiated Friday afternoon. Oh, no, we weren t afraid! We went tlnough it bravely and a great burden seemed to have been lifted when we realized the thing we had dreaded was over and we were now really a part of the C. U. H. S. We believe the upperclassmen were secretly proud of us and were pleased to think that we were their successors. About a week before Halloween a reception was given in our honor by the rest of the school, which, being very weird in its ghostly aspect, was greatly enjoyed. Our class has made quite a showing in music, both vocal and instrumental and also in sports. Next year we shall be wise and dignified Sophomores, and we hope we shall be able to help other Freshmen by setting as good examples for them to follow, as the Sophomores set for us. j McPhail.
