THE SEARCHLIGHT Nineteen

Page 22 text:

THE SEARCHLIGHT The next September many familiar faces were seen in the assembly hall. Most of our old classmates had come back to go through another year of hard study. Everything was familiar except the faculty, although two faces there were familiar. We enrolled the first morning to the number of twenty-five. We lost only two during the summer vacation. We started in with five studies, most of which were similar to our Freshman studies. We, now in the Sophomore class, feel a little better and we taunt the Freshmen just as we were taunted. Our class is becoming quite noted, as we organized our class in the fall. We Sophomores did sev- eral noteworthy things during the year. The alumni thought we were so worthy of them that the girls asked the Soph girls to play a game against them in basketball. We did so, but, alas! we lost our pride and dignity—by being surpassed. During the year we went on several hikes and also entertained the Sophomore and basketball boys at a candy-making party. One new pupil joined us in the midst of our trials and troubles— and good times. We also lost two members. But oh, joy! We have almost covered another stepping-stone to success and are ascending the heights of a Junior. We hope to keep our class in the memory of all by the great deeds we do. Our motto is, “22 in ’22”—twenty-two graduates in 1922. —Lura Barlow, ’22 ❖ Have you noticed the art work in this book? If you have not, you have missed one of its best features. This art work was done by Paul Rohe, one of our Sophomores. The Sophomore Class may be proud of the fact that on their class roll is the name of a real “honest to goodness” artist. In Paul’s work are embodied all of the fine points of drawing, every detail being worked out to perfection. Paul certainly has the thanks of the Senior Class in return for the splendid work done by him for this book. Without his assistance the “Searchlight” would not have the interesting qualities that it has. There is no friend so faithful as a good book.—Ethel Norvel. Eighteen

The Sophs, Juniors and Seniors kept staring at us. Some exclaimed. “Oh, how green they are,” but we did not understand what they meant, because we thought in autumn, espe- cially in September, all things are rioe. Oh! but they just kept teasing and laughing at us. About 9:20 a bell rang. Oh joy! we thought it’s time for dinner. During the time we were teased it seemed a whole day. But instead of going home, we were led into the algebra room, where Miss Hierony- mus was waiting for us, smiling. She treated us, little dears, as her children and made us as much at heme as she could. She started out telling us about a, b, c, etc., which made us think that it would be quite easy because we already knew our abe’s. Modesty is the conscience of the body.—Catherine Hayes. Twenty
