 RAMBLER Sopohmore Class History The Class of '18 entered High School with a determination to show those upper classmen, who looked upon us with scorn, that we were capable of doing things. Many jokes were played on us, but we took it good-naturedly and finally they stopped. Things were new to us at first and we did not get along so well, but as we became accustomed to the new ways and manners we began to improve in our studies and have always stood near the top in all the branches of study. The Dramatic Club, a literary organization of the high school, did not include Freshmen. so we organized a society of our own and held our meetings every two weeks. When winter came and the snow made it good for sleds, we had several fine rides to the homes of some of our classmates living in the country. The winter of 1916 was a disappointment to us as far as sleigh rides were concerned, for we failed to have one ride, the snow always coming at a time when the roads were bad. In basketball we had a team that was hard to beat, it winning the school championship in both'15 and ’16 annexing six victories with but two defeats in '15 and five victories without a loss in '16. The team has also furnished from two to three players each year on the high school quintet. In baseball we did equally well, three of our classmates gaining places on the high school nine. Our class always joined in with the high school in helping with all social affairs conducted bv it. We banqueted the Senior Class of T6 and joined with the other classes in the annual high school banquet. As the school year is nearing an end we sincerely hope that we may follow up our successes on both the field and in the class room with greater victories. W. L., 18. (28)
