CLASS OF 1915 LEWINA AINSWORTH High and mighty Seniors, take notice; Juniors, lend us your ears; Freshmen, listen with awe. We, the Sophomores, are speaking and when we ope our lips we utter words of wisdom, for we have outgrown the baby age, overcome our ‘‘greenness” and mastered our “freshness.” Our heads are not filled with fusses and fancies for proms, plays and such foolishness. We have not yet reached the degree of swell-head and egotism that the Seniors have attained. We speak with a clear head and an unbiased opinion. Following in the steps of our beloved hero, Benjamin Franklin, we will give a modest account of ourselves. We, as Freshmen, entered high school on September, 1911. We organized our class and started out with a “Russel” that was recognized all over school. We were duly initiated and our initiation was one of the events of the year. Not only did we prove stars in track, but if I remember rightly, it was our little “Peter” who walked off with the gold medal before the aston- ished eyes of nine other schools in the Dixon “Declams.” Yes, even as Freshmen we were “some class.” Enough for our past—in our present we are still more glorious. In September of 1912 we were auspiciously acclaimed Sophomores. So great was our fame that even the Seniors and Juniors tried to gain admittance to our class (at our election times). During the winter we gave a sleigh-ride, a brilliant suc- cess, even surpassing the one arranged for (?) by the Senior class. But I will not go into detail, for a detailed account would fill volumes. To test the strength of the class basketball teams, a set of games were held. Seniors against Freshmen and Sopho- mores against the Juniors. The Seniors and Sophomores came out victors. Then, to decide championship another game was scheduled; knowing their strength the Sophs quaked and re- fused to appear. However, in order not to forfeit the honor entirely, the girls of our class prevailed upon the team to meet the mighty Seniors and we were ignominiously defeated. So the Sophomore class lost the basketball championship of the M. H. S. Yes, unsophisticated followers, it is well for you to tread in our footsteps and profit by our example. Worthy Juniors and Seniors, stop amid your plans for “proms”, graduation “duds”, diplomas and troubles to bow to us who have honored and always will honor “Missoula County High.” -26-
