0m: The Sophomore class is not lacking in histrionic ability. In the play, WThe Dust of the Earth. given by the English department, Harry Hall, one of our number, was a leading character. So superb was Harryis acting that his friends declare Lou Tellegen has a rival. Several Sophomores were in plays given by the Expression department. We have had several debates this year, one being an inter-elass debate with the Freshmen. We lost in this debate; however. we were by no means discouraged. mIihe harder youire hit, the higher youill bounce, Be proud of your blackened eye; It iSift the fact that yotfre licked that counts. But. how did you fight and why? Little has happened to dampen the ardor with which we entered high school. Our days have been happy and our activities many. In each Sopho- more heart there lingers a hope that our Junior and Senior years may be as satisfying as our Freshmen and Sophomore years have been. DONNAVE BAKER, i24

Sophomore Class Historq y. lh'eshmen-what a world of memories the word conveys! What high H school pupil does not remember his 'at days? Awkward, gawky: ill at iase. seared npink, he entered school only to be greeted by such shrieks as HFreshie. ltGreen, and all similar names familiar to Freshmen. We were no exception to the rule. and we hail our full share of teasing. But, if onr path was not all roses, neither was it all thorns. We had the honored d15- tinction of being the biggest class that had ever entered the D. H. S. The Hood-gates were opened and one hundred and twenty Freshmen poured into high school. In our Sophomore year. we still maintain our high record and are the largest class in the Duthan High School. having about a hundred on roll. In all school activities. we do our full part; in fact, no class in high school has a greater reputation for trne-blue loyalty than has the Sophomore class. An annual event of extreme interest in this section of our state is the Southeast Alabama Fair, held always in the early autumn. We. as a class, were busy for several weeks at the first of school on articles to put into the Fair, The contributions from the Dothan schools were unusually large and received much paise because of their excellence. Many members of the Sophomore class made. entries. and several drew prizes. The Gargoyle, our school annual, is a new project this year. It went over the top, however, after some hard work by the members of the Annual staff and the teachers assisting them. The Sophomore class was represented on the Annual Board by our worthy president. Louelle OiNeal, and also by Neil MeCalhnn. Physical education is as important as mental and moral training. Ath- Ietics develops the physical side of one's life, and the Dothan High School is not neglecting this phase of education. We had a line football record this year. As the Sophomores are necessary to all good things, we contributed to the team four members. namely, Tolbert Brown. John Linch. Marcus Woodward and G. 5., Zeigler. Tolbert is a member of the famous Brown family. He has the fighting blood in him. In football, he is a rival of his brother, John Mac. whose record in the fall of 1921 was marvelous. Tolbert starred especially in the Enterprise, Andalusia. and Sidney Lanier games. The Sophomores were fully represented on the basketball teams. On the girls' t-am. we had Julia Hornsby. Christine Hughes. and Elizabeth Ben- nett. T0 the boy's team, we contributed two of our football players, Tol- bert and john. The baseball team this year numbers on its line-up Tolbert Brown. A. C. Watson. Adam Grant and Marcus VVoodwardeall Sophomores, if you pl iase! In matters musical. the Sophomores seem to be coming into their own. It is with much pride that we claim the majority of the members of the two glee clubs. To the school orchestra, reputed to be the best in Alabama. we gave Charlie Mae Baughman and Zolena Branch, violinists, and Max Jones. eornetist.
