SOPHOMORE HISTORY EXAM. 1. What was the size of your Freshmen Class? We Freshmen first became members of the high school on a sunny morning in the fall of 1921. The assembly was so well filled during the next two weeks that we had to put our midyear Freshmen in the so-called English Room. By that time we were far the largest class in the school. 2. Give the sumary of class meetings. The first meeting was held shortly after school started. We elected Clayton Mast, president; Ellis Gant, vice-president; Agnes Tripp, secretary and treasurer and Roland Weekly, council representative. Later Agnes Tripp resigned and Alice Young was elected to fill her place. There were several meetings held during the year, two being held for the purpose of selecting class colors and our class flower. 3. Tell all you can of the initiation party. The first semester Freshmen were given an initiation party at the Woodman Hall by the Sophomore class, aided by the rest of the school. The initiation was very slight. The chief event was giving each of us a mustard, red pepper, vinegar preparation. The rest of the evening was spent in playin? games. Refreshments were served and we had a very enjoyable time. 4. Give a description of Freshmen Athletic Activities. We Freshmen turned out well for athletics. Agnes Deyoe and Alice Young were on the all-star basket ball team of the county. Clayton Mast and Roland Weekly won football letters and Clayton Mast won his letter in track. 5. Give details concerning the Freshmen Girjs Glee Club. About twelve Freshmen girls met at Mrs. Thompson’s house once a week to practice. We sang at the Literary Societies in school and several times were on the programmes given at the lodges. At the end of the school year we gave a recital at the Presbyterian church to show what we could do. The recital was such a success that this year the Glee Club is composed of members of the entire high school. Mrs. Thompson has charge of it again. 6. Write briefly the early Sophomore history. When the members of our class came back again as Sophs., we were somewhat surprised to find that most of our comrades had left us and we were the smallest class in the school, numbering about twelve. We were reinforced by the mid-year Freshmen at the end of the first semester. 7. Give the class officers of both classes. Soon after school started we had our first meeting.

FOR THE FRESHMEN Tell me not, in mournful numbers, School work is an empty dream; For the Freshie that works, not slumbers, Things are always what they seem. School is real! School is earnest! And the College is not the goal; Freshman once then Seniors ever Was it spoken of the soul? Not enjoyment and not sorrow Do we work for every day; But to know that each tomorrow Takes us further on our way. Lives of Seniors all remind us We can make our lives subb'me, Ard departing leave the Freshmen Courage to make faster time. Courage that perhaps the Freshman, Sailing through school’s solemn main, A forlorn ard shipwrecked Freshman, Knowing shall take heart again. Let us then be ready, Freshmen, With a heart for any fate; Always working, always waiting, Taught to labor ard to wait. —Verna Hart. ---:o:--- FRFSHMEN Anna Johnson Blanche Felsher Lewellen Southmayd Lyle Knight Robert Redell Ariel MacDonald James Corbin Paul McNair Ardyce Clinton Aileen Barker Dorothy Tripp Milton Schroeder Donald Adams Theresa Dement Marjorie Stemmier Lillyan LaBranche Dena Mast Lillian Painter John Dickson Harley Miller William Fugate Edwin Keltner Robert Ladd Lila Dement Merle Clinton Lyla Holloway Norman James Elbert Schroeder Clifford Crosby Earl Fite Florence Felsher Aletha Barklow Zelma Crosby Minnie Ramsey Alice Nosier Vernita Laird Wilda Barker Edna Southmayd Genevieve Clarke William Ladd Angus Rackleff Percy Barzee Rodney Davenport Leland McNair Leland Wagner Gladys Culbertson Verna McNair Ruth Ramsey Harold Carver Miss Frazier, advisor.
