eventful session the first football and baseball teams in years were organized. Although they dropped by the wayside, we are proud to say that some of the stellar athletes were members of our class and we still claim them as our own. Sophomores ! In this unforgettable year we were piloted by Jane Gray and, of course, kept up the tradition of giving certain teachers a fit, as all law- abiding Sophomores should do. Our chief delight was throwing erasers and chalk and, in short, trying to keep up the reputation of the previous Sophomore Class. But, for all this, we were a fine bunch, if you overlook the fact that we had to celebrate our evolution from Freshmen into Sophomores. However, in spite of weakness in the chalk and eraser line, the 1925-26 Sophomores played an important role in school activities. We willingly sup- ported The Crystal, and had our places on The Echo staff, in The Toreadors, in the literary contest, and in The Hall of Fame. Needless to say, we lived up to the record which we established the year before. Wide awake! Happy-go-lucky! Up and doing! That’s a very good de- scription of the Juniors, even if it must be added, as a secret, that we are some- times lazy. That is a small matter, though, because everyone has spring fever now and then. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that we never work; just read on and see. With our “Heart Breaker,” Mr. Turner, as president, we have been break- ing all records as a model class, and are the best Juniors in centuries (according to Miss Richeson). High honors were immediately bestowed upon us this year. The Editor-in-chief of The Echo, three other members of The Echo staff, and three assistants of The Crystal staff are Juniors. Besides taking a prominent part in the literary circle of L. H. S., we deserve honorable mention for furnish- ing several of the famous athletes and many members of the Hi-Y club. Be- sides literary and athletic ability this illustrious class possesses histronic ability as shown by the fact that five Juniors took part in the Senior Play, entitled “The Charm School.” Such is our past and present. The future lies before us, and soon we shall become mighty Seniors and fight the battles of Senior life — with its failures or its successes — for one more year. Be those failures or successes what they may, we push on to our Senior year with pride in the past .and hope for the future.
