The Sophomore Class On the hrst day of school this year, we were glad to welcome the return of five of our old members, as well as the addition of three new ones, Genevieve McCabe, Gilbert Holmes and Beatrice Marsh. XVe felt that in quality we made up for the quantity to which the Class of ,24 arrogantly pointed. During the year we lost two members, Gladys Tuttle and Beatrice Marsh, who succumbed to the lure of the outside world. Effie Green, however, came from Montana, thus making our organization the ttMystic Sevent, with the following important line-up: Gilbert Holmes ........ Chief High Mogul Ruth Brown ............ Director of Events Genevieve McCabe ........................ .- Scribe Effie Green--.-.-.-; ....................... Sorceress Everett Hubbard, John TOrrano ........ ............................ Guards and W arriors Byron Jessee ................................... Sphinx Miss Lang ...... Driver of Lucky Chariot We have been very well repre- sented in athletics during the year. Ruth has served on basketball, base- ball and tennis teams. Everett has especially starred in tennis, but he has served faithfully in the other two branches of athletics. Gilbert played on the baseball team and substituted in basketball and tennis. The members of our class do not confine their efforts and activities to athletics alone. Ruth, Everett, and John, all had strong parts in the play, ttBess Goes To Europeft And these same people did their best to make the declamation contest a success. During our first year the other classes were so slow that we were not allowed to entertain the school. We made up for our omission by a real old fashioned hay-ride down the slough. The horses had to be quieted and rea- soned with before they would allow thirty howling hoodlums to ride on the wagon. After the bonfire had died and the last yell from the rally had passed away the rest of the school knew that we were royal entertainers. The Class of 1923 does not yet make any boast of wonderful achievements. We merely ask you to glance over the events of the last year and regard them as a sign for the future. We have passed from the unsettled green of Fresh- manland, through the period of dangerous Sophomorishness, and as we stand on the brink of Junior dignity we promise to do our very best to add to the glory of T.
