THE OMNANNUS Page 28 The Sophomore Class, 1 5 In the fall of 1911, L. H. S. welcomed the largest Freshman class in the history of the school. The class of 1915 was duly organized with Blanche Black as its leader. That our spirit was strong and mighty toas shown by the large pile of wood gathered for the football rally bonfires. We became Sophomores with the same spirit we had as Freshmen. Our members have taken a most prominent part in literary activities of the school. We have the honor of being the first Sophomores to be represented by class debaters. In athletics too, ours has been no mean part. We furnished some of the most able men for both the football and basketball teams. The inter- class games have shown that our girls’ basketball team has no peer. The crowning feature, in a social way, is the outdoor picnic to be given the Juniors as soon as the weather permits.

THE OMNANNUS Page 30 The Freshman Class, ’16. The Freshman Class was organized finally after a special meeting called for the purpose of arousing class interest. Another meeting was immediately called overseen by Miss Koch, and officers were chosen. Strenuous election- eering was necessary to elect Walter Bean treasurer, because of the antici- pated overwhelming amount of coin, which did not come, however. In athletics the Freshman girls showed much skill in the interclass basket- ball games but were finally defeated in the championship game by the Sopho- mores. In the interclass debate that followed the Freshmen were defeated by the Sophomores. The debaters of the Freshman team were Clarence Lambert, Mattie Schofield and Isabelle Miller. A banquet was given after the debate by the Freshmen to the Sophomores in honor of the winning team. And good fellow- ship was thereafter assured. This was the first year that there has been a Freshman debating team. In track the Freshmen, combined with the Seniors, inflicted a crushing defeat on the Sophomores, thru the efforts of Glenn Conkey who is now recognized as the coming champion school athlete. The Freshmen were also combined with the Seniors in Literary and in this their performance was again creditable according to many visitors.
