History of the Sophomore Class 3 N 7 . . . . . . . Q HE space usually allowed to Histories in such a publication as this would be far too small in 2. which to relate all the wonderful achievements and glorious victories of the Sophomore F'.4 y'l1 Class. XVe have come from the North and the South, and have joined together to constitute 549 the g1'171zdu5ff'!1z.v.v in the history of L. C. Y. L. NVQ: have distinguished ourselves in many departments. W'e have among our number vocalists and orators, also linguists and math- ematicians, who not only have the road to fame open to them, but have already travelled some distance along this road. They have labored through the deep ravines of Cxsar, and over the high mountains of Algebra. Our motto is Learn, Conquer Your Lessons, and ive can truly say that We have not only tried to conquer our lessons, but have also conquered many adverse circumstances. We have conquered hunger many times by procuring food in diverse and doubtful ways. XVe have also ibut not oftenj conquered on the baseball Field. XVe have brought dignified Seniors low by asking hard uestions, and seeking hel on hard 6 5 , b D problems. From this enumeration of victories, every one may easily see that we have come out conquerors, indeed. Q3 3 Sophomore Prophecy at Now for a peep into the future ofthe Sophomore Class of 1903. First we see May reigning as mistress in a superb Nashville home, and jolly Clara a stenographer in New York, and Ava doing a grand work as a trained nurse in the same city. XYe visit the theatre there to listen to a renovvned singer, and can hardly realize that wonderful voice to be that of our old schoolmate, Queen, the scene changes, and among the actors we recognize our stately Irma Heeing to the Marshall for safety.

see a sweet-faced old maid, bedecked with curls, chalk, and glasses, and that is Edna jones. Sitting near we see a face that seems familiar, we inquire, and are told that it is Lillie, the wife of a distinguished physician. After the play all is excitement, for there has been a runaway, and a child near the horses, and in great danger, was rescued by a brave woman. XVith wild applause, the excited crowd cry out, Hurrah for Miss Blanche Davidson! NVe learn from Blanche that Lillian is teaching elocution in Boston. Let us see, perhaps others of our class are in Boston. Yes, in the waiting room we End Eva, who is on her way to China, where she will be a missionary. XVe also find Louise living in luxury here, and Nina a successful music teacher. Back to dear old Tennessee we go, where we had -lennie married and living in Lebanon. Vive visit the L. C. Y. L., and whom do you suppose we find occupying Miss Fosters place? Hattie! And the president of our class is loyally presiding over the chapel. VVe next visit Kentucky. VVe visit an art gallery and find Pearl at her easel painting a beautiful picture. Pearl, we say, in all our travels we have not heard of Maggie. XVhy she is a missionary in Japan. And have you seen Virginia? O, she is leaching music in Frankfort! And here is a paper containing the announcement of dear old Addie's wedding, XfVe visit Frankfort, and in a beautiful home we find Gladys, the happy wife of a merchant: on the same street lives Lela, now a lawyer's wife. XVe visit Beth, who is a teacher of mathematics at this place, and she tells us that Olga is a jolly old maid, and that Edna has become a successful stenographer. Wfe pick up a book lying on her table, and glancing at the title page find the editor to be our old friend Mary. XVe receive an invitation to Louise's wedding. which we gladly accept. Before the ceremony we admire the beautiful decorations, among which is a basket of specially beautiful roses with a dainty card attached, on which are these words, From Bessie, ani we are told that she gives her whole time now to the cultivation of beautiful flowers. KVillie Sue makes a sweet, jolly woman, as she did a school girl, and enchants large audiences with her music. Ruth G. is devoting her time to the temperance cause. Florence has become a brilliant music teacher. And O, yes! we came near to forgetting one member of our class. XVhat has become of Kate l XVell she will answer for herself. She is still trying to get enough sense into her head to some day be an elocution teacher. 29
