THE SPECTATOR Sophomore Class e are much wiser now than we were when we entered the high school; but how small will our knowledge seem two years from now when we are ready to leave? As freshmen we were timid and quiet, looking for studies and for knowledge. Soon,however,the situation was reversed; we grew bold and became very noisy. We ran away from our studies and sought ways to dodge our lessons. But our teachers were kind and pitied us; so, telling us to study harder next year, they promoted us to the Sophomore Class. At the beginning of the term we decided to draw up a constitution. There was much discussion about the idea and finally a committee was appointed. During this term we have had much fun and parliamentary practice in learning to follow the constitution. We first turned our attention to the election of officers. One election was declared void because the quorum required by the constitution was not present. A later election resulted in Earl Murillo being elected presi- dent; Jane Whitaker, vice president; Rodney Capps, secretary-treasurer. In March it was decided that the class publish a monthly paper. To raise money for the printing of it, the Sophomore and Junior classes gave an entertainment and dance. It was a great success. The paper which was published was composed of literary matter rather than news, although all class news was in it. We are a studious class, on the whole, having five members on the “Honor Roll.” In other words, our class furnished one-half of the “Honor Roll.” We are also well represented on the athletic field. On the basketball team we have Ledford and Foster; on the baseball team, Foster, Cannon, Mazzini and Ledford, or almost one-half of that team. The girls, also, are not lacking in accomplishments.

THE SPECTATOR The Juniors The Juniors, the Juniors, the Juniors, are we; This is the class of Juniors you see. You won’t forget us, we know you shan’t, ’Cause this is the class that never says can’t. We use our might and then our zest To try to make our school the best And outclass others by so far They’ll think it’s on a shooting star. The Junior Class, we pull for all; We hate to see a brother fall; We help him up and on his way; That’s us, the Junior Class today. Of all the mottoes ’neath the sun Our “Onward and Upward” takes the bun. And of all the flow’rs on earth we chose The one by the name of Sweet Baby Rose. Forrest McAbee

You could expect nothing else from the members of such a promb nent class. Next year we shall enter school as juniors with our heads high. We shall be looking into every little nook for some knowledge to store away so that in the future years we may be able to use it to our own advantage and to the advantage of the whole world. Let no one be surprised if this Sophomore Class some day supplies our country with great statesmen and perhaps a President or two. “We would be true, For there are those who trust us. We would be pure, For there are those who care. We would be strong, For there is much to suffer. We would be brave, For there is much to dare. We would be friend Of all - the foe - the friendless. We would be giving, And forget the gift. We would be humble, For we know our weakness. We would look up, And love - and laugh - and lift.
