THE ARGONAUT MCMXVIImQgg Genealogy of Sophomore Class LITTLE did we realize our importance last year. Yet this lack of knowledge can scarcely be attributed to ignorance. During our first year of high school life, the look of compassionate pity bestowed on us by the condescending juniors, the look of abso- lute disdain on the part of the exalted little seniors and the dark and swordlike . glances from teachers, made us realize our insignificance. . Butsubmitting .to all this ill usage, we strove to better our- selves. Our adopted motto was To do or die, and never did a people more loyally support it. When the almost impregnable algebra was doing its worst to conquer us, -we quietly ,submittedto all abuse, from the powers that commanded us. History with its questions demanding almost superhuman mentality was borne with magnificent forti- tude. Likewise, did we survive the study of English, which, we are told is an essential factor in making us representatives of the social world. We bore that oppressive treatment for one whole year. Then the miraculous occured. That dorment spirit, which had been abused so long burst out in a rage, and then died. Yes, died! ' t T A new spirit was born - the spirit of the sophomore class of 1916-1917. This Spirit abides with us yet, and it is to it we owe our value. We are by no means conceited over the fact, but in compliance with the Ancient Order of Chivalry , we must truthfully admit that our elation is in full bloom. May that spirit dominate us during our high school life. T Irene B. Antoniol I i T?-.1 ' :4 i l i I 4 H
