SroPHoJYLOKPcS ! The Sophomore Comes into His Own Last year the Juniors scorned us And they all called us green; Now they say, “We take it back. Your wisdom we have seen.” For we are jolly Sophomores— Our Freshmen days are past; We regard ourselves as experienced And our trials are o’er at last. Now we take it upon us To make the Freshmen run So that, when they are Sophomores, They’ll appreciate the fun. Last year they didn’t spare US, So now we likewise treat The present Freshmen “kinda rough And say “Revenge is sweet.” 21

1920 TK A N SC E N D E N T A LIST 1920 Freshman Class History When we entered as Freshmen in the N. T. H. S. we found many strangers among us. However, we soon became acquainted and found to our pride we had the largest class ever enrolled, sixty-three. Some have been added and some dropped from that list until now we are only fifty-three strong. Our first two months of Freshman life were rather unpleasant, because we were quartered in Halls, basement, and the Opera House. But every cloud has a silver lining and ours had two bright spots in it; the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen and we had no examinations the first quarter. Finally we entered our new High School only to find ourselves utter strangers. When we went to our Algebra room, expecting to see new blackboards and seats, we were fooled for there were none. But we cheerfully bore the burden of inconveniences and now we have all these things. On January the twenty-third we entertained the Sophomores in the Assembly Room and we hope they had a good time. I hen came the C lass 1 ournament; and altho we didn t get first place, we made the Juniors hustle for it. We have one boy, Peter Ciochetti, who is a guard on the basket-ball team and on the second All-Star county team. So you see we Freshies have some real good elements in us. This about ends our life as Freshies and we hope we will all be enrolled as Sophomores next year. “Freshmen’’ F is for the frolics many That we had in 1920. R stands for Miss Reant(s) Who is hard to please it seems. E is for our English book Which gives us such an awful look. S is for the “Sophs” distressing But ’tis easy to keep them guessing. H stands for the hall so nice With its floor as smooth as ice. M is for Miss Miller pretty Who is also very witty. E is for our education Which will be our firm foundation. N is for our nerves so racked But for brains we do not lack. So for the Freshmen three cheers each That they a higher goal may reach. 23 VELMA HILL.
