Rapahanoc ’Twenty-two Sophomore Class History O H yes, we have a history and we have good reasons to feel proud. Just read over the history of the Freshmen Class of 192Q-’21, in last year’s annual and you’ll find where most of us have received our source of knowledge. During the Freshman year we withstood the taunts of the other classes of the High School and in the autumn of 1921 we, the detested “rats”, returned to school as Sophomores. Can anybody express the joy of calling somebody else a “rat”? Although our ranks grew thinner last year we enlisted new companions and classmates this year until at present our class is fifty-two strong. We have tried to display our brilliancy not only in our classes but also in athletics. In this most of us are conceited enough to think we have succeeded. Our Faculty, self-sacrificing, always has helped us faithfully thru this “terrible” Sophomore year. For doing so we ask they be awarded one “Polar Bear” and a bag of salted peanuts. During this school year three changes have been made in our Faculty. Miss Rhea left Christmas to take up higher English work in a University. Mr. Link, our Math, teacher of last year, returning to teach English. Just after Christmas Miss Britian, our commercial teacher, after considering the very serious subject, matrimony, became Mrs. Sharp, leaving a vacancy which was filled by Miss Johnson, another teacher of last year. The Monitor system, for the study hall, having been tried out, the School Board brought back, to the delight of all, Mrs. Blake. Now, after this year of trials and tribulations, pleasures and successes, study and play, laughter and tears, the curtain must fall on Act II of our High School life. After the interlude of “dear old summer time” may we all return to play a part in Act III—Juniors. —Muriel Ione Euliss. 54
