2 2 Tournament the ‘-Sophs” took second place, and several of our boys won distinction in field and track work, as well as in basketball. The girls not mJ? ° a,‘ T y T' tan ied off several honors i the Intellectual Meet. All things considered, the Sophomore life was very satisfactory Thirty-one answered the Junior roll call of nineteen twenty-one, not a very arge class in numbers but just ask the teachers if we didn’t make up for it in intelligence. After two or three months the Seniors deeded (from previous experience) that we were in danger of being overworked ‘‘n, lienff e UtS a ? re(Tti0n in the form of a Pai y we hope to pull off the Junior-Senior banquet sometime in the near future. At the Class Tournament, we won second place and we are making great preparation for the Athletic Meet at Hillsboro. K P paia Next year, as Seniors, we hope to be thirty strong and make a record that all former Seniors of N. T. H. S. will envy. E q THE AGRICULTURE CLUB We are a bunch of hay seeds, With our instructor as our guide, We learn of animals and feeds, And of the Fords in which we ride. And then the poultry, too, you know, We find out how to cull the kind That do not lay and will not grow, But put the Bank account behind. The cows, the pigs, and horses, too. We learn the best kind to secure; And how to feed and what to do To get the creatures to mature. We have a team in Basket ball; This is the motto that they use,' To play the game what e’er befall. No matter if they win or lose. M. W. B. OLD NOKOMIS

H. S. After three or four months of school in various buildings in Nokomis we entered the new school building. We soon became accustomed to the new life after having revised our tactics, concerning sliding through, etc., to meet new conditions. After passing through the regular routine of parties and exams we felt ourselves fully qualified to accept the title of Sophomores the next year. At the beginning of the next school year about thirty-eight of the former Freshman Class re-entered school to make things interesting for the Freshmen of that year. After a little trouble in choosing a president things went along very well so far as we were concerned. At the Class OLD NOKOMIS

2 2 JUNIORS We’re a jolly bunch of Juniors; We’ll graduate next year; The past three years, we’ve done our work And left our record clear. We hope to keep on going Till our own goal is won; And kindness to keep sowing Till life’s great setting sun Calls us from this land of sorrow To a better world beyond; So the people of tomorrow Will praise us when we're gone. Let us forget the turmoil, The discord and the strife, If any should arise, to spoil The happiness in life. So let us study and not shirk, Drive Idleness away, “For every honest day’s work. We get an honest pay.” We’re loyal to each other, And to our High School too. We term it as our “Mother.” Why shouldn’t we be true? Here’s where we get foundation For all that we’re to do; We mould our destination By studies we pursue. Let us keep up the task, And go on working still; And then if asked, “Can you—?” Reply, “We can, we will.” T. M. B. OLD NOKOMIS
