£ nphnnuirr ISiBtnrg Tho class of nineteen and ten, which is known as Sophomore, is undoubtedly the greatest class that has ever entered the High School and this is true Jn more than one way. in September, 1906, we enrolled as the largest class that ever entered the High School, there being seventy members. We were as green as it was possible for such a remarkable class to be. but we escaped the numerous trials Freshmen usually have, by having entered when the new High School building had just opened. On Arbor Day of last year we planted our class tree, a strong, thriving sycamore, which we named for the distinguished statesman, Theodore Roosevelt. On December the tenth, nineteen hundred and six. we held our first class meeting and elected officers. Our presi- dent, Carter Fleming, was chosen for his popularity, patience and most excellent Judgment and our vice president. Clifford Bell, came to his exalted position because we wanted some one who could to a certain extent, offset the dignified ways of our president. For our secretary we elected Malissa Williams, a lady well known for her beauty and popularity; and our treasurer, Jessie Jacobs, having such an excellent reputation for honesty, we agreed to trust her with our funds. Next on the list came our yell-master. Ernest Y'ost. and he has succeeded even beyond our expectations, for our yells have filled the air with noise and the other classes with envy. The class his- torian was elected, but she begs the readers pardon for having accepted the honor. She did not realize that she would have to tire them so by her attempts at history making. For class colors we chose light green and white and they too have proved most popular, for on March 17. 1908, realizing how fitting were our colors, we cele- brated the day by giving a reception to the other classes and the Faculty. Judging from the compliments we received it proved to be r. complete success. It was the first social affair of that kind ever given in High School, and now that we have set the example we hope that it will not be the last. Now. the class publishing this booklet has limited our space, so we will have to close before telling half of our excellent qualities. But. fortunately for the Sophomores, our fair ladies, brilliant stu- dents and splendid athletes, and. last but not least, our excellent class spirit, is so well known that it is scarcely necessary to say more. —Historian, ’10.
