Oh, Father! hear us when we plead For those who fight and those who bleed, For those who yield their lives that we May safely rest in liberty. Remember, Lord, compassionate, Thy servants who must stand and wait. They serve Thee, too, we know full well, How hard it is, we cannot tell, To fold the hands that fain would share A portion of the awful care. Have mercy, Lord, compassionate, On those whom Thou hast bidden wait . H And as the fleeting hours Hy, And one by one hopels mornings die, And they are left there, Waiting still The workings of thine hidden will, Oh, Saviour, all compassionate, Keep Virgil Thou, with those who wait. --T110 Bookmaft. 18

JU 41133 tgilllli 1. gil ll Svnphnmnrv wr Should you ask me whence these annals, lVhence these anecdotes and stories Of our Sophomore year in High School, School that our class dearly cherished, They originate from statements Handed down by our school paper, By our A'Sentinel and also Helpful memlries of the author. In the Fall of nineteen-twenty, Very early in September, We were summoned back to school work, Back to tasks and tribulations. Balmy summer days were over Days of freedom and vacation. Freshman days for us were over, VVe were now full-hedged Sophomores, In this second year now starting VVe attended morning sessions. VVe indeed were upper-classmen, Now no longer first-year pupils. VVe were glad to see our classmates After Summer, far too short, Not so glad to start our studies, Caesar, English, Math. and Science. It was like a rude awakening From deep slumbers all too sweet. After school work had been started And we'd settled down in earnest, Mr. Murphy called for players To uphold our football glory. By the time the season ended Freedman, Peters had won letters. At the end of fair October Marks were given to us scholars, Our class led the rest in standing, We upheld our reputation. Many pupils were so brilliant That to them were honors given. 19
