THE NORTHERN TRAIL A Modest History of the Sophomores AS NO ONE else volunteered to write our class history We are liter- ally forced, much to our embarrassment, to laud ourselves. On the opening day of school in 1927 there might have been seen standing singly and shyly apart, watching wistfully the self-possessed Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors viewing us with cries of pleasure, the forty-nine forlorn looking pupils of the Freshman class. We were pres- ently collected, herded into the outside rows of seats and labeled and catalogued as Freshmen. We were pleasantly entertained at a party by the class of 1930. We gave them a return party soon after. Both our boys and girls entered into declamatory and oratorical work. We didn't win any places, but who can expect that we could. Our class play Penrod under the careful supervision of Miss Austin was a huge success. ' In 1928 we entered the assembly once again but this time as self- possessed Sophomores, We have an enrollment of forty-one. With the purpose of arriving at some goal we entered into our class work with .ambition. We started the year by giving a get together party for the Freshmen. We were pleasantly entertained at a spooky party on Hal- lowe'en given by the Freshmen as a return social entertainment. Some of our boys took part in football and basketball. It is unnecessary to allude to our iniiuence over the Freshmen, evidence being too prominent. We are always true to our standards, a few of which are: We never envy another class. U We try to keep our class as near the top as possible. We never make a mistake in Bookkeeping. we Sophomore-Freshinan Party It has been a custom started several years ago for the Sophomores to give the Freshmen a party at the beginning of each school year. This party is held for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the new and green classmen. . g The Sophomores decided that Thursday night would be an appro- priate time to have the party. Invitations were issued to the faculty and to the Freshmen. The Freshmen, outwardly gay at first, had fear in their hearts because of the threats of the Sopohmores. Qreat were the sighs of relief when they found it was a thoroughly enjoyable party planned for them. One of the best stunts wtas the milk-drinking contest. Norman Mayo should have been awarded first prize for not having forgotten the chief delight of his baby days. The peanut rolling contest skinned the boys' noses and made everyone laugh. Luncheon was served and a dance given until 9:30, when with many regrets the Freshmen and Sophomores left for home. Page forty six

THE NORTHERN TRAIL Distinguished Sophomores THE SOPHOMORE Class of the Eagle River high school has been very wide awake. Some of the students have distinguished them- selves in athletics and others in the routine of school work. To gain distinction, one need not be a boisterous performer of rash deeds nor must he be of a meek and humble please everyone disposition. Among our athletics are: Donald Omholt and Melborune Whitsett. Our worthy class officers must be considered. They are: Robert Gaffney, Kenneth Behlow, Lyle Van Bussum and Helen Adams. Our distinguished advisor, Miss Walter, should receive no less credit than the officers since she is the push that is behind us. Ada Keskinen, Helen Adams, Emma Armstrong, and Katherine Gorz are respected for their high grades. We also have a human question box. Robert Gaffney answers to that name. We are willing to bet that he can ask more foolish questions in a day than any other student in high school. Nick Orlich, Donald Omholt, and Melbourne Whitsett intend to ad- vocate the heightening of the doorways while Bob Gaffney, Lawrence Erwin, and Maragret lWalsh are strongly opposed because they can scarcely reach the door knobs as it is. These facts prove that the class was not so sleepy as some seemed to think. The Sophomores have been comparatively successful, and we trust that next year will not prove a disappointment. '93 Sophomore Subjects Bookkeeping, Biology, English, and Civics are mine We've got our subjects all placed in a line, The Freshmen are smiling, The Seniors are riling, And yet We think each one of them is just fine. English for us is a handy tool, With it we express ourselves in school, We give it a twist, Our name's on the list, For spirit, attendance, obeying the rule. A great deal we learn in Biology class- Bookkeeping guides us on, we stragglers pass, We will not stop, We'll reach the topg We're future citizens organized into a mass. Page forty!-seven
