1 9 2 4 Uhr Gblh Elraili' 1 9 2 4 Sophomore Class History We are a class to be remembered, the first freshman class to enroll in the new High School building and the largest class ever entering high school in Martinsville, seventy-one members in all. We elected Margaret Kendall class president and Miss Bradbury and Mr. Apple as our advisors. As freshmen we took much interest in basket-ball, and our boys won over' all the other class teams. On Hallowe'en night we had a real spooky party in the Methodist church basement. It had been well planned, and everyone had a good time. In November the school had their first annual carnival. Our class had a cabaret, which was so much of a success that we agreed to have one the next year. Although our freshman year was very agreeable, we were only too glad to be called sophomores when starting back to school in the fall. Denzil Bennett was elected class president, Theodore Thompson vice-presi- dent, Rosalee Sinclair secretary and treasurer, and Miss Alleman and Miss Hagey class advisors. The sophomores opened their social calendar with a Wiener roast at Newman's pasture. There was plenty of food and, as usual, everyone had a good time. In addition to our cabaret at the carnival, we had a unique midget show. We believe our carnivals will grow better each year because the public takes so much interest in them. Our class has not fallen behind the others in entertaining the assem- bly. A Most safe Way in Getting Across the Railroad Track was por- trayed in our first performance, together with some music by various members of the class. A sad thing happened this year, something which has never happened before in any of our history-the death of a member of the class, Lilly McNary, one of the seventy-one who started as freshmen. She was an excellent student up until the time of her illness. She is greatly missed by the school. Although our seventy-one members have dropped to forty-four, We are at the present time the largest class in the school and hope to maintain our reputation until we graduate, the first class to go four years in the new building.
