Purple and Gold 19 Sophomores COLORS: Red and Black. Officers Ima Eckle — ........... ............ ..........President Charles Stewart....................Secretary-Treasurer Class History We, the Sophomores, are extremely modest and averse to boasting. Nevertheless, we can truthfully say that we were the largest Freshman class D. H. S. has ever known up until that time, for there were thirty-three answering to the call of Freshies. This year we lost some of our members, yet in the development of the intellectual faculties, we progressed so rapidly that our increase in quality more than counteracted the loss in quantity. Our superiority was shown by Vera Dailey winning first place in the local declamatory contest, by the excellent showing made by our boys in track, and finally, by the success of the entire class in running the gauntlet of exams and obtaining the degree of Sophomore. As Sophomores we started the year 1913 in the new building with thirty-one industrious members and with the determination to accomplish even more than we had the previous year. This spirit first brought forth fruit when our boys succeeded in winning the inter-class track meet. We have the honor of saying that the star athlete of D. H. S., George Epperson, is a Sophomore. Almost one-half of the high school chorus is made up of Sophomores. We Were also represented by four excellent declaimers in the local tryout before the Burns-Douglass contest, all of whom made a good showing. In basket ball, we have the star center, Howard Holmes. Our future is bright and promising and all indications show that we will be the largest and most accomplished Senior Class that ever graduated from our beloved High School. Watch, ye unbelievers and pessimists! Watch the Red and Black climb daringly up the long ladder to success.

Secretary-Treasurer Yell First in peace, First in fight, Freshmen, Freshmen, Blue and White. Class History The Freshmen Class is indeed a promising one. We are last but not least. We graduated from the grades with a total membership of twenty-nine and entered High School with a roll call of thirty-six, the largest class in the history of Douglass High School. In Athletics, we are by no means backward. For the last two years, one of our number has been on the track team of the victorious Purple and Gold. In the Butler County Track Meet of 1913, we won as many points for D. H. S. as any of the present classes. We had two players on the baseball team and we have some fine basket ball material which will eventually be developed. As we are launching out upon our High School career, we carry with us the determination to conquer, to make records that will never be forgotten, and to make D. H. S. the best High School in Kansas.
