Hamilton Christine Snow - - - Tax Coll. - - - F. Reed When the O.U.H.S. opened it's welcoming doors in September. 1925, it found the freshmen of the previous year to be very dignified Sophomores. The change surprised the upper classmen who could not realize that these sedate and composed young persons entering the Sophomore room were the freshmen of 1924, who had wandered around looking very much out of place and bumping into just the places where they weren’t supposed to be. But we have fully overcome our greenness and are now sailing our ships straight toward the shores of Wisdom. Our class has produced some athletes worthy of Sophomore traditions. The boys have made themselves prominent in football, speedball and other activities, while the girls have shown themselves equally capable of holding their own in their respective sports. Those boys who went out for football and made either the A or B teams are: A. Hislop, G. Howard, Wm. Me Cutcheon, A. Grace, H. Dole, C. Williams, W. Murphy, T. Gould. E. Bonneyfoy, W. Sweet, and E. Harter W. Sweet also played on the speedball team. We must give mention to the girls who made the A” team in the volley ball, and who, although there is no league, won the championship for the second time. In turn, at the Biggs meet, they met and defeated four schools, Live Oak. Chico. Durham, and Biggs, thus winning the title. These girls are: B.McBride (capt.), W. McClung, Doris Campbell, M. Rabe. E. Adkins, F. Reed, and Ella Rosenberg. The Sophomore class also has its share of literary talent, having led in the Short Story Contest for two successive years. Five of the eight members of the Journalism class are Sophomores. These are Wilda McClung, Wm. Sweet, Frances Bokmann. E. Rosenberg, and G. Rosenberg, all of whom are also conscientious workers on the “Times'1 staff. We want to give mention here to Louise Smullin. our former class member and president, who capably represented the Sophomores in dramatics. Louise has now been advanced to another class, making necessary the election of a new president. We are not left behind in musical talent as several of our members belong to the band, orchestra, and Glee Club. In the Student Body meetings we put forth our best efforts to stay to the front and several of our members hold Student Body offices. Although many waves will probably attempt to wreck our little boat, we shall still sail on to Junior-hood and Senior-hood, until finally reaching the shore of graduation.
