Junior In September of 1912, not without the proverbial verdant green of the Freshmen, we entered the Norfolk High School, each with his vision of a brilliant career. Naturally the Sophomores greeted us with their “lion-ish roar” but we soon discovered that it was only the result of them having read “Twenty Ways to Train a Freshman,” and they felt it their duty to initiate us. They really were docile and guaranteed not to quarrel seriously outside of their own class. As Freshies we were expected to spend most of our time in study (which some of us did) and not in planning class parties. Our social activities of the year consisted of only two parties. Both were held in the Administration Hall. During our Sophomore year we had three parties, two of which were held at the H. S. building and one at the home of Edward Schelly in honor of Loreen Gow, the secretary of our class who moved to Colorado. Our Junior year has been the year of our greatest achievements. Soon after school closed last May we had our first picnic at Gooseberry Hollow. When school started in MOTTO— Invicti. COLORS—Purple ant Class. September we made plans to build a float for the Fall Festival. Our battleship Invicti,” sailed off with third prize, the first and second prizes going to professional decorators. We at once got permission from Mr. Crosier to put on a class play. On Deceml er 18, “Dan Cupid, Head Coach” was played at the Auditorium, and thanks to Miss Durland’s coaching, was a great success. After the second act. Miss Durland was presented with a beautiful bunch of roses from the class. A party in her honor was held in March, at the home of Helen Hudson. The class presented her with a cameo ring in recognition of her services in staging the play. The Junior-Senior banquet and reception is the last event for the Juniors. The banquet will Ik? held in the Library Auditorium and the reception at the home of Victoria May lard. With out motto before us and nothing but credit in at least a half dozen subjects behind us, we hope to make the name 191 f stand for something in the annals of N. II. S. 1 White. FLOWER—White Carnation.

Sophomore Class. On a bright morning of September, 1913, thirty eager faces dawned like so many rising suns on the horizon of the dear old N. II. S. Our infant pranks and innocence gave rise to no ordinary merriment, for ours was no ordinary class. Today finds us illuminating the entire school with our unrivalled brilliancy and renown. As true class-men, our first step was to choose a president whom v.e thought could and would lead us. We chose Faye Rorapaugh as leader, with Mema Zulauf as vice president, Hattie Hepperly, secretary, and Thomas Hight, treasurer, with R. B. Bedell as sponsor to guide our inexperienced feet through the untrodden places. September, 1914, found our ranks sadly depleted. Only nineteen out of the originals could be honored with the title of Sophomore. MOTTO—Climb tho’ the roads be rugged. Like all other classes we chose our officers for the school year. Hattie Hepperly was elected president, Bernice Barrett secretary and treasurer, with Mr. Hubbard, sponsor. A basket ball team had to be chosen from the seven Iwys in our class. Two of these knew nothing of basket ball, and we won the last place in the inter-class tournament. Modesty prohibits a complete account of the events of our Sophomore year but appreciative loyalty to the race in sight of Shakespeare compels us to make more familiar to our circle of readers the all too unfamiliar usage. Yet we have about us unsophisticated Seniors, sleekheaded Juniors, Freshmen who sleep always. Sophomores have a lean and hungry look; they think too much. Such folks are dangerous. FLOWER—White Rose. COLORS—Green and White. £
