'At the sound of that name all other classes become silent, for thev realize that they are in the presence of the most talented students in school. Even when we were Freshmen, the other classes would gaze at us in wonder, and could be seen to shake their heads sadly, as much as to say: Ah, me! If that class continues to grow in knowledge and power, our rule in the future will be somewhat limited! And now that we are Sopho- mogres our reign is supreme. No other class in school dares to contradict the words of a Sophomore. In all movements, not a part of the regular school work, our class also takes the lead. We have some excellent basket ball players, and the team is much better fitted to win when, some of our members play. For two successive quarters the secretary of the Emersonian Society has been from the Sophomore class, thus showing how much trust is placed in our abilitv. In our daily school work no class employs more diligence than we. In all the historv of the Greenfield High School, it has been recorded that no Sophomore f-lass could r--ad Caesar more fluently Last year we were much puzzled over Caesar's Gallic Wars, and, nllhough we found them rather difficult at first, we. soon became accustomed to f'aesar's method of writing, and his particular expressions, until, now, Latin is but little harder than English. Some of the class have been known to prepare a lesson of fifty lines in twentv- five minutes, a record that can scarcely be surpassed. In addition to Paesar wesrudv l,a'in composition, and we have gained a thorough knowledge of translating English info Irvin. So my readers may judge for themselves whether or not some splendid Latin students belong lo our class. We are very much interested in Botany and Zoology, and have many interesting dis- cussions in class concerning the Theory of Evolution. We consider it a very grave insult to be fold that we are relatives of monkevsg although, with some people, we have no doubt What the relationship is very close. but this class of per- on is not found among the Sophomores. Literature is one of our favorite studies fif, indeed, all ore not our favoritesl an-I it is really wonderful what rapid progress we have made in this branch of learning. The first quarter xv:-s spent in writing themes and stories, and in some instances we were required to write on the same topics as those of the highest class. In addition to the text we havoread in class, George Eliot's Silas Marner, Webster's and Lincoln's orations, Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, Poe's poems and short stories, and Tennyson's Princess, We are also required to read and outline some book or play each quarter. By no means the least of our studies is Algebra. When choosing a book forthe Sophomores of next year, the Professor said that he thought our book would beentirely too hard for them, because the problems were very difficult for the best of our class. Never- theless, we have thus far unfolded all these problems, although it is nothing uncommon for a single problem to require an hour for its solution. D Our note books are to be bound and preserved as a record of' our work in Bi ilogy.
