'B ' ITHACANSIAN Sophomore Class History We, the present Sophomore class began our high school course Sep- tember sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. Climbing the winding stairs we numbered about one hundred and fifteen, the largest Freshman class ever entering the Ithaca high school. We were undoubtedly as green a bunch of Freshmen as ever were but we succeeded in electing our class officers. These were: President, Max Elliottg Vice-president, Royal Boveeg Secretary and Treasurer, Ella Eveyl. Two parties and two socials were enjoyed by the class during the year and on May 30, a joyful day was spent at Crystal Lake. The next year we came back to our second year as Sophomores. We are sorry to say that we had decreased in members, and although ours was still the largest class the membership did not exceed eighty though we were glad to see a few new faces. A short time after a class meeting was held and the following offi- cers elected: John Feichtenbiner, president, Paul Simmons, vice-presi- dentg Helen Vallance, secretary and treasurer. Owing to a vacancy in the latter Orpha Allen was elected to fill that oflice. Under their leader- ship we looked forward to a successful year. The first party of the year was held at the home of Bernice Smith where a fine time was enjoyed in playing games after which refresh- ments were served. ' October twenty4seventh a Hallowe'en party was held at Elizabeth Barnhart's where upon entering the house ghostly figures sent cold chills up your spine. Games were played and several piano selections were given by President Feichtenbiner and the young hostess, after which 're- freshments were served and a fine time was enjoyed by all. January twelfth we met at Ella Evey's where we had a fine supper after which we went to the big hill out west of town. Everyone had a fine time sliding down hill and we all went home tired but happy. We were proud of our Football team this year, Captain Simmons be- ing from our class. , Successful and brilliant futures are awaiting us, we are sure, for as we look upon the eager faces of members of the class we say: How can it be otherwise after we have graduated from the Ithaca High, the honorable class of 1925?

ITHACANSIAN Then Margaret and Mary with eyes blue as heavens. N implies our number-namely forty-seven. 0 and P are both claimed by Olive Plankenhorn, Smiles, merry cheerful ones, on her face are borne. Q suggests the queries that our teachers ask us, Though the answers of them seemed so very hopeless. I'll head the list of R's with Rose, Ruth and Rodney, And add Raymond Ebaugh, also Raymond Harvey. 'l' will stand for Thelma-there are two in the class. U is for Ursulien a most industrious lass. V stands for Victor, who smashes hearts as ,a rule, For Vinal Tabor also, who'll be missed by the school. W is for Wilma Burgess, who has her lessons well, Also for Georgian Wood, who of many things can tell. X is in Algebra an unknown quantity, Let it signify our port on life's restless sea. Y is for Yesterdays, of either joy or sorrow, They are our foundations for a bright tomorrow. Z means the Zeal with which we've sailed our bark, Now as our ways divide, may eachhsail -just as stark. May God ever guide us toward one reunion day, That each may reach the Harbor and at Anchor lay. RUTH McNABB. M-an . Nh 0nVg92,?gt!fl1'9 94 ff ff- .rs f- 1.
