Sophomore Class History On June 11, 1922, our class of eight pupils graduated from the eighth grade. The members of our class were Vera Patterson, Genevieve Davis, Mary Gunderson, Elsie Hessenthaler, Melvin Kurtz, 'Joseph Andres, Milton Phil- lips and Marvin Meier. On September 4, 1922, school opened with nine fresh- men enrolled-Vera Patterson, Genevieve Davis, Mary Gunderson, Elsie Hessenthaler, Melvin Kurtz, Joseph Andres, Milton Phillips, and Marvin Meier from Davis District No. 29, and Emerson Hofmeister from Rock City District No. 31. After two months of school passed Elsie I-Iessenthaler withdrew reducing our number to eight. In the second semester our class was increased to nine when Mildred Meinzer from Beloit Junior High enrolled. On the opening day in the fall of 1923 the class con- sisted of nine faithful and two new pupils, Thelma Fitz- gerald and Pearl Wolfe, who were members of the 1921 Freshman class. Soon after school began the class met and organized, electing Genevieve Davis, President, Emerson Hofmeister, Vice-President, and Vera Patterson, Secretary-Treasurer. The class colors were royal purple and white. The motto is: Tint Your Own Sky. All of the boys in our class are members of this year's basket ball team. We have members on the Annual staff and in the literary societies and other organizations of the school. Members of our class always find a prom- inent place, showing that we have been effective parts in the activities of our school. M. D. P. Sophomore Class Prophecy As I was sitting at the piano one evening in June playing an old time melody, it brought me back to the time when we sang that same song in the Sophomore class at the Davis High School. Then I drifted back to the present and pictured each one of my classmates at their daily tasks. Sunday afternoon I was restless and wondering what to do to pass away the afternoon I picked up a Sunday paper and to my surprise what should I see on the sport page but a picture of Emerson Hofmeister, a league ball player and he was to be at the diamond that afternoon. I dressed in a jiffy and called a taxi to take me to the ball diamond. When the taxi arrived, who should, be the driver but Milton Phillips. We had a long talk and Milton told me that he was engaged to Mildred Meinzer who was the head stenographer at the National Cloak Company office. After the ball game I waited until the crowd had gone so that I might get to talk with Emerson. I finally located him and he was much surprised to see me and asked if he might call for me at five, and we would dine and talk over the past and present. Promptly at five o'clock he called and we left for din- ner in his Buick sedan. We talked of all our classmates. He told me that Melvin Kurtz was at Long Island, a radio fan, and was studying on a plan for a loud speaker, which he belived would prove very successful., After go- ing to a theatre we returned home. He made an appoint- ment for the next afternoon at two o'clock. The next afternoon he called as planned. He wanted to know if there was any special place I would like to go. Page Twenty I said I would like to take a long ride into the country. So we did. We got about twenty miles out and were five miles from Reading, Pennsylvania, when we ran out of gas. We were but a mile from a farmhouse, so both de- cided to walk there for assistance. Upon arrival we rapped at the door and who should answer but Mary Gun- derson, that is, Mary Gunderson of former days, but now the wife of a prosperous farmer in that state. Mary in- sisted that we spend a few days, but it was necessary that we return that day. Before leaving though she found time to tell us that Pearl Wolfe was in Tampa, Florida, for her health. She had been teaching in the public schools there. Finally the garage mechanic came with the gas and we returned home happy, but tired. Two days later I received a letter from my old friend Genevieve Davis, mailed from Red Rock, Arizona. She wrote that she was keeping house for her bachelor uncle on a large ranch which some day would belong to her. She said that Joseph Andres was one of the cowboys and was an expert at breaking horses, and was known all over the state for being the only person able to ride her uncle's horse, Wildfire. She advised also that Marvin Meier was in northern Texas, a very prominent cattle owner. Thelma Fitzgerald had finally located in the state of Washington where she was making a specialty of poetry writing. To end this prophecy of the sophomore class, I, Vera Patterson, claiming to be of sound mind and proper de- portment, submit these would-be facts while filling my niche as a music instructor in a magnificent, yet unnamed conservatory, in New York City.
