Now it isn’t our fault that Lois met Grover and that he walked up to school with her last year and finally enticed her to leave this “good bunch” and reside with him on the hill. No, Sir! It wasn’t! Lois set a bad example, too, for in a little while our ranks became thinner and thinner. After Lois, Fay left us, after Fay, Freda Leep-ed into matrimony. We don’t know about the rest but we have our “doubts.” Well, in spite of all this, we made an envious record for ourselves in class work and various H. S. activities. Helen Whitaker, although a Freshman, was chosen to represent the H. S. in Oratory at Bandon, which she did exceedingly well. In track, Chester Root proved to be one of our speediest men and in Dramatics why in dramatics we made quite a hit. For Elton and Flentge and Olas all took and carried well their parts in the Senior Play. Under the direction of Miss Lucia Campbell, “The Lady of the Lake,” was dramatized. (We like to do things for Miss Campbell.) Besides all this we could mention a few frivolous things like some parties we’ve had, but in order to tell you all about our second year we’ll have to economize on the space allowed us. Although several of our members dropped out we still have proven ourselves large in number and ability. Floyd, the dignified, was elected Student Body President and Lila was to see that we got a “square deal” in the council. During the first month of school this year the Student Body decided to choose the members of the faculty as associate members and the Sophomores again showed their wisdom in quickly choosing for their champion Miss Scaiefe. Now the next thing of importance, the next two things I might say, really were to conceive and carry out the idea of editing the High School Buzz. We hope to be able to continue this publication till we graduate. The Sophomores are proud of it and claim it for their own. The other important affair was the class programme given in the assembly January 29th. The Basket Ball Team was ably supported by four of our members, Elton and Floyd on the first team and Verl and Flentge on the second. We are proud of the record made by them and of the victories they helped to win. In all activities of the school the Sophomores have a record of which they may be proud. SEVENTEEN

Class History On the 21st of September, 1913, the upper classmen having registered early were startled to see, on looking out the windows of the assembly, a long, long line of Freshmen marching into high school. No wonder they were startled and full of wonder and fear, for this class was the largest in the high school. Now we don’t blame the rest of the classes for feeling a bit overwhelmed (from which they have never fully recovered) for these same Freshmen proved to them both last year and this that they were capable, both individually and collectively of doing great things. At the first class meeting we elected our tall, stalwart Everett Hayes, president, and to assist him Elton Spires, vice-president. In order to keep the important record of the class SIXTEEN

Class History In that delightful month of February, 1914, after the horrible grammar school exams were over and we were all very pale our class entered this large and imposing building as midyear freshmen. Our staunch hearts were not daunted as we were assailed on every side with jeers, laughs, jokes and envy by the other classmen. We were made the butt of every joke and used as fags for the rest of that horrid, nerve-racking year. In September, 1915, we entered upon our duties with light and happy hearts as full-fledged freshmen. But, horror of horrors! the higher classmen had not yet finished initiating us into their delightful high school. Our first class party was broken up in a most scandalous way. Still we were not daunted, and when the green ribbons and neckties were presented to us, we refused to wear them. By unanamous vote Hazel Wade was elected president. Our other officers were elected and we chose for our colors EIGHTEEN
