The Sophomore Class ' I it Erickson Stark Granger Larson Rogolsiki Rhoafles Helbling Johnson Ludwig Gregory Bohac Anger Bowen Sept. 8th- SOPHOMORE CLASS CHRONICS In ihe fall of the year of 1919 twelve eighth grade pupils were promoted into High School. We felt real honored to think that we could be called freshies. Sept. 28th- We received a cordial invitation to attend a party held at the school house. We were told to be there by eight o'clock sharp and that if we didn't go we would be sorry, Curiosity impelled all of us to be there. It wasn't long' after arriving that we found what kind of a party we had been invited to. The initiation of the Freshmen. We all had several little stunts to do, however, no less of life resulted. Oct. 10th- We attended another party and all had a good Lime, probably because of not having the fear of being' initiated. Oct. l5th- The class officers were: President--Clair Gregory. Viie President-Agnes Granger. Secretary-Alice Johnson. Treasurer-Charles Anger, Nov, 3rd- Basket ball began. Our class had the honor of having' two good players, Clair Gregory and Charles Anger. The High School played four games, winning two. The rest of the year was not very eventful, or at any rate it would take ioo long to tell. Perhaps it should be mentioned, that we were no longer called 'tgreen horns. Our Freshman year was not as bad as We had thought it would be and were very glad we had mastered it and were ready for the Sophomore year. Sept. 13th.- I was awakened with a terrible noise. But upon concentrating my mind a few minutes, I coniluded it was only the school bell. We climbed the stairs up to the assembly, when there was a great scramble for the back seats. The first day passed by all right and we soon found out what sub- ject to take, and what we were to do.

week or two passed after initiation and I1 new member, Victor Erickson, was added to our class. Of course we were sorry that he had missed the excitement of the first few weeks, but, neverless, he received his punishment. If you wish to know whatyask the graduating class of 1920. The Freshman year passed along its way, and September 8, 1920, found a place in time. Our Sophomore year can not be mentioned as being as eventful as the previous year. There is a song which contains these words, Revenge is sweet. We thought so when we had a place in initiating the Freshmen of that year. Our Junior year in which we are now partaking, seems to bring us back to memories of 1918, when Ralph True, Kenneth Rhoades and Lillian Galloway were in our class. Every one seems to be taking a different view in life. A spell seems to be over Harold Neilson. Everything has a comical side for him, Ruth is known as our class giggler, Amelia as our happy-go-luiky girl, Celia our Miss Prim, Dorothy as ever faithful , Irene Reichenbach still keeps as her motto 'iLive happy today for tomorrow we may die. John is another one cf' our honored classmates. Victor often enjoys a good joke in Miss Foley's shorthand class. We know less of Fred as he is of a quiet disposition. Willian is the editor to be. Helen Crago is the live wire of our class. This takes the reader intu the history of our class, up to the present date.

The High School boys started playing basket ball. Our class especially interested because of the ability and enthusiasm displayed by those of our class, especially by Clair Gregory, We were asked to sell Christmas Seals to increase the Wisconsin tuber- 4th- 20th.- cular fund. We were very muzh disappointed to lose one of the members of the class, Eleanor Ludwig. Shortly after we gained back our former enrollment thru the entrance of Celia Borger from Onalaska. So glad you came, Celia. We held a debate in English class, the subject being, Resolved that lst.- 4th,- 24th.-- money spent for the army and navy outside of what is needed for police service is wasted. The negative side were the winners. We have had many interesting times in our Sophomore year and hope some day to be able to send some one else there to take our places. The next time you hear from us we will be Juniors. AGNES A. GRANGER
