RAVELINGS Snphnmnrr 01.13155 lbiaturg When We, the Sophomores of D. H. S. ent- ered High School We were a crowd of awe- stricken kids upon Whom was placed the title Freshmen. But We soon lo-st our tim- idity and awe and made both the upper and lower class-men ''sit-up-and-take-notice'' of our display in athletics, our part in the Mus- icale contest with Bluffton and the fact that We have in our class the champion speller in high school. i We lost several of our members during the summer, Wayne Spaulding, son of our former Superintendent C. E. Spaulding who accepted a p-osition as superintendent of the Columbia City schools, and Clyde Rice, one of' our country students, Who, While hunting last summer, accidently shot and killed himself. Now as a full fledged Sophomore class we came back in the fall, strong and eager for Wo-rk, after the summer's vacation. At the 4 first class meeting of the year, the following officers were elected: President-Helen Walters. Vice President-Ral1,h Tyndall. Secretary-Earl Archbold. Treasurer-Mildred Yager. Class reporters-Josephine Myers and Ry- ford Macy. Miss Gibbons, the former Science teacher, was chosen guardian. After Miss Gibbons left, about the middle of the year, Mr. Rit- tenhouse, the present Science teacher was chosen as guardian. Our class has taken quite an interest iii athletics this year, basket ball especially. We also are quite literary, for didn't a Sophomore 'girl win the second prize in the Rave1ing's Prize Story Contest? And altho We have done nothing startling or wonder- ful this year, we at least, think that we are a class for D. H. S. to be proud of. J. M. '19,
