36 THE TALISMAN T1-1E.c1.Ass o1f'15. V One September morning. 1911, there appeared a group of children who caused all the veterans of the school to shout with laughter. It was the class of 1915-twenty-one awed, terror-stricken freshmen. As the year proceeded, under the auspices of the Soph- omore class and assisted by Prof. Trinkle and his staff, the class developed into some- thing Which made the upper classmen think that possibly after all Newman High was not forever disgraced. Back in September, '12, the class laughed and teased the poor freshmen, forgetting how they had appeared the year before, They spent the year in bothering the teachers and wishing they were Juniors. The wonderful class of '15, now in their Junior yea1', are making rapid strides toward civilization and their Senior year. .They have a class to be proud of, having in their class three HN football men, 'many in the debating society, chorus and on the baseball team. The class is unusually brilliant and that it mayalways be prosperous, successful and happy is the wish of- I A Senior,

38 TI-IE. TALISMAN ' I 6 SOPI-IOMORE CLASS HISTORY. September 1, 1912, was a red letter day in the history of Newman Township High School,.for that was the day the present Sophomore class made its entrance into High School life. During the first year it broke no previous records by showing its latent abilities, but humbly accepted its position and stood the taunts of the upper classmen, But when it returned this fall, prepared to fill its higher position, the class discovered the campus overrun with a horde of freshmen and at once set out to show them the proper kind of conduct. Now we can point to them as a well-behaved freshman class. We have certainly assumed our rightful position and point with pride to our record. WVe have 'to our credit three letter men on the football team, captain of the baseball team, and many active members in the Lincoln Debating Club. We stand shoulder to shoulder in everything pointing toward the best interests of Newman High-not for individual glory, but for that of the school. 'What is will continue to be, and in our remaining school years we hope to accom- plish more and more. Ever will the memories of our underclass days be before us,- a source of inspiration and hope. But if we equal the feats of our sophomore year we will be content. We may have grown too enthusiastic in self-praise, but please bear with us, for truly 1916 is no common class.
