■ PEACE-PIPE Page 32 Sophomore Cl ass History On a bright sunny morning of September, 1923, our class of '27 entered the Ncwcomerstown High to obtain the name of Freshmen and to start the long-dreamed of High School career, only to be disappointed to find that this was work and not play. The second day of school showed convincing signs that those who dared venture very far were full-fledged High School students. At first we were discouraged to think that we furnished material for other’s fun. Rut this was soon overcome when we picked up the regular High School spirit and joined them in their merriment. Soon after school started we organized our class with the intentions of having monthly meetings. Rut not being accustomed to this we failed. We re-organized this year as Sophomores. Choosing Blue and Gold as class colors and “We Reach Just As High As We Aim” for our motto. While Freshmen we had a party and a wiener roast as the finishing of English Contests. This year we enjoyed a Hallowe’en party in the school auditorium. We proved worthy in Athletics, the girls and boys both having a team in basketball each year. The boys found great sport in football too, but we think it is safe in saying that we take just as much interest in our studies as in the pleasures. Our class at first was one of the largest ever starting to good old N. H. S., but has been steadily decreasing, one member lost by death, while others quit on account of ill health or various reasons. Those left of our class and others who have joined it arc to say that our aim is in view and hope to reach it soon. —Iva E. VanSickel, ’27.
