HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS. HE year of 1911 brought us into the mysteries of High School. Our class consisted of fifteen hoys and girls, John Hannon, Dora Blachly, John Jarnecke, Kuth Danielson, Lester Hayes, Alta Danielson, Carrol Hayes, Wayne Hoekett, Donald Mc- Kinnon, Lucille Cannon, Leo Nhutske, Robert Obrien, Lillian Methard, Harry Mockler and Bessie Wolbrandt. Trembling we dropped in the first seats we came to which, of course, were the hack ones, but soon found out that we must respect our Seniors by allowing them to occupy our seats. We took up the study of Agriculture and Algebra under the guid- ance of Mr. Wright; German and English under Miss Tofte; Music and Drawing under Miss Felton. Before the term was over Alta Danielson and Carrol Hayes left the ranks. In the autumn of 1912 we met once more at the door of the Kouts High School as Sophomores, although more than half of our number had deserted us. The members of our Sophomore class were Leo Shut- ske, Kuth Danielson, Lester Hayes, Wayne Hoekett, Harry Mockler, Donald McKinnon and Bessie Wolbrandt. When we came to school we were glad to see that we had one more member, Frances Libcke. Dur- ing the term Harry Mockler left the class. Mr. Wright continued to be our instructor in Algebra, Miss Felton in Music and Drawing, but we took up English, German and History under our new principal, Mr. Robertson. After the first semester we were glad that instead of Geometry we were to take up Commercial Arithmetic under Miss Kring. We all hope next vear to he Juniors and continue to enjoy our H. S. days. BESSIE WOLBRANDT, ’15. DEFINITIONS. N ANGLE is a triangle with only two sides. Geometry teaches us how to bisect angles. Parallel lines are the same distance apart all the way and do not meet unless you bend them. Horsepower is the distance one horse can carry a | ound of water in one hour. Gravitation is that which if there were none we should all fly away. A vacuum is a large, empty space where the | oj e lives. Algebraical symbols are used when you don’t know what you are talking about. A renegade is a man who kills a king. In India a man out of one cask may not marry a woman out of another cask. The zodiac is the zoo of the sky, where lions, goats and other ani- mals go after they are dead.
