The ROCKET 1925 crwra Sophomore Class History On September fourth, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, fourteen Freshies, four girls and ten boys, entered the door of the assembly hall for the first time, as High School students and because of their appearance, were classed very green, the two years spent in High School have proved this was not our color. During the year of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-three, very little of interest happened: Everyone was too busy with lessons to organize for social meet- ings, altho a few of our boys were engaged in the school activities: Charles Zink and Russel Pifer belonged to the High School Orchestra and Newell Lynch played in a few games of baseball. At the close of the year all passed in the finals and were promoted to the Sophomore class the next year. Shortly after school opened in September, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-four, we, the Sophomores, organized with the following officers: President-Charles Zink Secretary-Herchel Keedy Treasurer-Vivian Shore Miss Fenner was chosen to be our chaperone. At the school carnival, given Gctober 31, our class staged the play, A Negro W'edding, which proved a great success. During the fall we had one Wiener roast in Shipton's grove. Each member had the privilege of bringing a guest. Most of the members were present and all had a good time. Le Roy Gorsuch. Sophomore Initials Blanche Bigelow ....... Vivian Shore .......

The ROCKET 1925 GNNVD Freshman Class History and Prophecy Great oaks from little acorns grow XVe read and marvel that 'tis sog How can a seed so weak and small Produce a tree so strong and tall? How from beginnings such as these Grow classes great as well as trees? From country hicks 'tis many a step To make a class so full of pep, So ready to regard each rule, So loyal in their love for school. At first, we looked four years ahead And viewed the task with gloom and dread, But with our well known snap and zest, 'Ne sailed right in to do our best. Most Freshman classes have to be Initiated, first degree, No nitiation stuff for us, VVe walked right in Without a fuss, Took the best seats we could find. Said to the Sophs VVhat's on your mind F Our Motto Green but Growing shows VVe've not the swell head, not the blows , VVe organized, as classes should VVith president both wise and good. For who like Ruth well trained to lead Can sing or cipher, play or read? To her we look to win our name A place upon the roll of fame. Our Secretary, 'never dumb XVhose ready tongue can make things hum'. To things mechanical a friend, A Ford can either make or mend. A second Edison will be, it seems Inventing labor-saving schemes. I Our mascot Martin, although small, Is quite a favorite with us all, NVhen he's grown up we think he'll be A preacher of great dignity. cTWM'0'D Page 27
