HISTORY W. tin Sophomore «hiss of 1910. entered the High School on I In eighth day of September in the year nineteen hundred and ei »lit. This year was made memorable both because it was the only year we were permitted to have as principal .Mr. «I. F. Marsh, and because we. tin joyous, fudge- loving and care free Fresh its started on our long journey in search of knowledge. On March seventeenth we organized and chose as our officers: Harold Hamilton, president; «Veil Smith, vice president; Marie Linn, secretary, and Kditli Frey, treasurer. At our next class meeting we chose as our colors red and silver grey, and as our class flower tin red rose. The next event of importance was when we showed our originality by entertaining the timid, awe-inspired Fresh men to be. If compliments count for anything, we seem to have made a very brilliant success. At the close of the year our troubles increased in a manner that Miss Oldham would call geometrical progres- sion. We divaded our final examinations because we had been informed by the experienced meml ers of the other classes that we could never pass; but happily we all i ?t got through. At the close of the year we left the High School knowing we would never again, in our High School life, have to endure tlx trials and tribulations of Freshmen. When the-next September came around, we began an- other school year, not as giggling, green Presides, but as all wise Sophomores. The Freshies suffered not a little on ac- count of our desire to gel revenge for Vlie humiliations we had borne the year before. At our first class meeting of this year we chose as our « lass sponsor, the much honored and respected -I. F. Marsh, whom we regretted very much to give up. but who was ably succeeded by the present principal. Mr. IV Mellee. On the twelfth of February we entertained the Senior class and Faculty at a valentine reception, which proved to be a great success. At least we were told so by the Seniors. Modesty, however, compels us to make no more than passing mention of this event. 1 have enumerated only a few of many important hap- penings in our short career; but we all look forward to the time when the world shall hear great things of us. We are sure that you will hear of a few of them next year. — Historian. 12.

HISTORY The Till day of Septemlicr was made memorable, when we. the class of nineteen huudri d and thirteen, entered the High Sehool. We are not only a remarkable class on ac- count of our size, as we are composed of about one hundred and thirty members, but also because we are all such caper, studious and industrious boys and girls. Of course, when I say that we are studious I do not mean that we are not lively, frisky Freshies. I mean that we are capable of work as well as play. About two weeks after school started we held our first class meeting in the study hall, which was a very interesting affair, as all first meetings are. At this meeting we organ- ized our chiss. and chose for our officers those whom we thought would la most capable of holding office successfully for tin four years. We chose for our president. Harold Hutchinson: vice president. Dalton Simon: secretary, Anna Hrennen. and treasurer, Susan Arnett. In the short time we have been in the High School we have become accustomed to the treatment we are subjected to by the upper classmen. We know that the reason they treat us Fresh ies so badly is because they are jealous of our su| erior ability ( ?i and of the interest the teachers have taken in us. It is difficult to write our history for this year, because we have had to build a kind of platform, on which to stand during tin remaining three years. We have all studied hard, but you could not expect anything really remarkable yet. Hut we promise that at some future time you will hear something really wonderful from the class, which entered the High School as green, scared Fresh ies in nineteen hun- dred and nine. —Historian, 1913.
