The year rolled round and in due time we became Sophomores. As Sophomores we welcomed the school kindergarten, the class of IQO6, with all the dignity befitting our high positions. Of course we spend most ofthe time talking about ourselves and telling the Freshmen and those of the upper classes, who will listen, how great the class of 1905 really is, and what we mean to do in the future. We think this is the proper thing to do, and as no one else seems anxious or even willing to praise us, we have to praise ourselves. Of course, as a patronizing junior kindly told us, we will get over this in time. In june, the usual base-ball game was played between the Sophs and the Freshies, resulting in a great victory for 1905 by a score of 21-ao. Again we enjoyed the Summer vacation to its fullest extent, and came back brown and rosy, prepared to study at least three hours every night. The next important event in our history was the IQO5' 1906 foot-ball game. The sky was threatening and a stiff Northeaster blew across the gridiron. We put up a tough game, but either our men misunderstood the signals, or-well, anyway the score was not in our favor. VVe have always been noted for our exceptionally good behavior and also for diligence in burning the midnight oil. Our teachers predict great things for ns I ! ! l We have organized, and it is the firm resolve of each member that the class of IQO5 shall be the greatest class that ever was graduated from the Harrisburg High School.

l K 1 History of Sophomore Class IX I ZLBQBQ ARLY in the morninv of the second da of April, IQOI, there was an unusual stir in the Grammar Schools of the city Soon whispers nent fly ltlg like the wind, 'We go up to High School to-dayfl And go We o Y . . 7 . 1 Y Y . -saw 2 . . if Q' ' 45. 1 v . , did. Of course ue 11 ere iery dignified Cor tried to bej, as we walked up to the High School in squads- the girls walking on one side of the street, the boys on the otherg we entered those dread halls 266 strong. We had fully expected the faculty to greet us with open arms, but instead of an ovation were unceremoniously hustled into Room Three. V After a few minor difficulties We were comfortably settled in the rooms assigned to us, and began to study in earnest: indeed so industriously did We apply ourselves to Latin, Grammar, Algebra a11d the Metric System that our teachers became worried and told us that we must not study Zoo hard. We must have 1nade a good impression upon the Seniors, juniors and Sophomores that Hrst Week, for they did not stand and stare at us- as We dauntlessly went to and fro in those endless halls? At the beginning of the second Week came Chapel. How nervous we were as we stood in our rooms awaiting the signal, and when it did come how we scrambled up tl1e stairs! One of the boys was so eager to mount to those realms above that he fell up stairs, almost breaking a step. W'e came out of that trial with flying colors, and were duly congratulated by our principal. The next disturbance to enter into our peaceful Freshmen lives was demerits- yes, quite a number of us received demerits that first term. 'What class doesn't get some demerits? Then came examinations-how we studied and toiled, burning not a little midnight oil! The majority of us came through unscathed. Naturally as Freshmen We did not do anything startling but were content to Hlay low and say nothingf, for had not one of those grave and reverent Seniors told us that Freshmen must be seen and not heard? Oh, yes, the Sophomores defeated us in base-ball by a score of 20-12, but then they had several of the ,Varsity players on their team. After a refreshing vacation we returned to school with lessened ranks, ready for hard work. Then came the Freshman-Sophomore foot-ball game, and what a glorious game that Was! Certainly we won-oh, the score? W'ell the score was o-o. After the Christmas vacation We all set to work, looking forward to that great and glorious day when we should be no longer Freshmen. SI
