W e Soplzomores lIlll'Il'I ya-ars ago wo, thc- mc-nllwrs ol' tho rlass ol' 1918, oamo inarvhing proudly into tlu- hitllvrto forlmiddnfn torritory ol' tln- high sm-hool huilding. W0 had a good reason to ho proud for wo wvrv the first vlass to takm- tho 1-iglltli grade- work in lln- high svhool. Our pridv vontiuuvd to incroaso as privileges wvrv give-11 us: and onv day Vlark liriggs was olovtvd to tho Annual Board. Then wo were askvd to join tho Athlotic' Assoc-lation and tho Orvlwstra was glad to gm-t a l'4-w ol' our tah-ntvd inn-inlu-rs. liy tho ond ol' this vvvntful year, wo were oompetvnt to ontvr tho t'rl-slnnan class at tho la-ginniug ot' thx- nc-xt te-rm. Whoo our vlass la-vaiiiv l.l'l'SlllIl0Il, wo wc-ro not so friglltc-nod as the class lwforv us had lwon, on avvount ol' our pre-vious l'XIH'l'll'lll't'S. N4-ve-1'tlu-loss, wo wr-rv tho unhappy olmjvvts of tho gibos and giggles of thosv who had sawn-ssl'iiIly passe-d tho trl-:u'Iu-rous sands ot' tho l'r4-slunan year. Our size was a sourrv ot' 111l1l'll hilarity as tho uplwrvlassnivn svvuwxl to think wo worm' omigrants from Lilliput, but if not grrvat in staturv, wo soon provvd that wo we-ro not short in intl-lh-vt. For whvn it Ptlllll' to 1-xomptions, many worm- 1-allvd lint tow worm- vhosvn in thu otlu-r vlasscs, hut it was not so in our uasv. During: the- yt-ar wa- had two 1-lass partivs, whim-h passed ol? without avvidvnt. ln this, our sophomorv yt-ar, oar-h ol' us 1-ntl-red tho old assembly with ph-asurv, sincv 1-an-h had now roalize-d that most dosiralvlo statv ol' living' a sophomore. Early in tlu- tvrm, almost all of tho old froslunau vrowd gatlu'r4-d uoisily togvtlu-r to oh-vt tho r-lass otiivvrs. Aftvr duo dc-lilwration, Clark Briggs was chosen for tho Annual Board. 'l'hvn, with an impartial hand. we- assigrm-d tho prvsidc-nt's vhair and tho som-otary's notebook to DeWitt and Katlu-rino Mvliallon. Wlm-n those- arduous tasks wt-rv voinplvtod. wo rvsumvd our usual routiuv and continued to prow that wo worm- wise though not fools, For wo arc strong in tha- atfvvtions ol' our tvavlulrsg wc- are good students, and somo of us numlwr among tht- lu-st in tln- sc-hoolg our ,girls sing' liko larks: our lroys vxvm-l in athlvtivs: and above all, we have dvvelopvd tho high school spirit. For all the-so roasons wm- think wo may lnoast that Cin our own vstimation at lvastj thc class ol' '18 is tho host vlass in svhool. liirru VAN llrskluli. liwmzursi-: Aki-zu. l,.XI'L limim.
