We were about to undertake a new journey for ns, one which we had never made before and did not know anything about. It seemed that the upper classmen shunned us all the time and called us green. We thought we knew a great deal until Latin and Algebra soon convinced us we were mis- taken. We were patiently guided over the rough. roads of knowledge by Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Williams, and Mrs. McCarty. An occasional lecture by Miss Williams improved us. As all the other classes were having class meetings We thought we should be allowed the same privilege and so at our iirst meeting we elected Maurice Conner, as president, and Lucy Wilkinson, as our treasurer. We did not have many class meet- ings. The Sophomores gave a party for us at the High School gym Hallowe'en. Another party was enjoyed at the home of Glen Johnsonq We will never forget the party for the whole high school held at George E'arley's. We were very sorry to lose James Crosthwaite and Willis Pendergrass before the close of the term. We took an interest in the school's minstrel show which was a suc- cess. After all basket ball games were over and everything else had passed, the high school had a class tournament in which all classes were represented. We showed up good in this but were beaten by the Sophornores, who won the tournament. We were glad to see school end, and we felt successful in our first high school year. When September, 1926, came we ceased to be green Freshmen and took the honor- able name of Sophomores. We knew how the Freshmen felt and did not tease them. We felt bigger and better and under the leadership of Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Pearson, Miss Stohler, and Mrs. McCarty, we started our second year in our dear old high school. We, at once, began to plan for a better year, better and more class meet- ings, and more parties: but, alas, we have so far failed i11 our endeavors. Our oflicers were elected again and this time Eugene Cole gained the title of president, Oliver Walters, secretary, and Maurice Conner, treasurer. This seemed to be a class for boys only, as all oflicers were boys, and none of the girls attended our party at Warren Ad- dison's. We gave the Freshmen a party at the High School gym on Hallowe'en as is the custom, but when they found out we were going to initiate them there were not -many there. We were unfortunate in losing Arthur Odell early in the term, but we gained John Guenther, a jolly good fellow, hailing from Middletown. The class is very proud of their two great athletes, Eugene Cole and Carson Smith, who are both on the first team. We also have a fine actor, Donald Dudley, who took a part in this year's min- strel show as did almost all of the class. We hope to win this year's class tournament and our chances are good. ' Class Colors: Green and white.
