ft 3 7 5 -K--A L ,.-:L Z, 22 !-5E'f2' 'T vena or soon - Ht -Sophomore History lt was on the third day of Septemher, 1913, that through the portals of M. H. S. there en- tered a class which in the past has, and in the future will enlighten the dull and gloomy pages of history. 1Ye will not attempt with inef- ficient words to write the history of the cele- hrated class of '16, Prepare now to familiarize yourself with a few facts upon which the rep- utation of the class is based. The first day of our Freshman year was spent in seeing the sights and trying to keep out of the way of our upper classmen, The joke everywhere seemed to he on the green ones. Not a remark was overheard. although there seemed to he going on a general discussion. lt was not very long until the secret was out. The most enjoyahle part for our classmates was the thing which we considered most unnecessary. lt is an old saying that history repeats itself, so it was not long until we were full fiedged stu- dents ready to participate in the next annual initiation. Soon we were given several lectures on the school and its regulations. After the niidyear examination the class organized and elected its officers. Two parties, which were well attended, were held hefore the end of the year. The averages of our class teams in ath- letics speak for themselves and need little com- ment. Now these are the main events of our Freshman year. But we wish to have it known that the achievements of the past are only dim reflections of those which are to come. The ability of our class was shown when with great pomp and splendor we announced our reception, the first important event of the year, which took place on llallowe'en. Its suc- cess we will leave to your judgment. The next thing on the program was the semi-annual examination. Nr. jones asked for the hest methods of irrigating, and the cause of rocks on the surface. Mr. Yingling handled the chemistry formulas with great skill. Then the Misses Hays and Correll were next with ques- tions on the classics and American literature. The mathematics were well taken care of by our principal, Mr. tiorrell and the Snavely hrothers. Misses Digel and Dickinson asked questions on tiluck Auf and XYilliam Tell. Mis: lluch tested the classes on the First Year Latin and Caesar. The speed department was handled hy Miss tiarrigues and Nr. fidgar. And last of all, hut not least, the Misses llulick and Rower questioned us on joseph Mazzini and Justinian. The class is represented in all hranches of sports with star players and if we may judge the future hy the past, the highest honors ever received hy a class will he voted to the class of 1016. . The first class party was given at the gym- nasium on the twenty-seventh day of Fehruary. 101-1, and was the most successful one of the season. This is just the second year of our career as students in the famous ll. ll. S. and though too soon the school year of 1016 closes. the Crimson and Gray will send forth into the husi- ness and educational world a hody of young men and women whose ahility shall he unexcelled. v - r J 1 ' 11.11.
