L, Hlnflivau ce SOPHOMOHE CLASS HISTORY We began our High School career as Freshmen with an enrollment of 123 members. We were given a hearty welcome by our superiors, the Seniors, at the Freshman reception. The following officers were elected at our first class meeting: President, Louis Straub, Vice- President, Marguerite Wood, Secretary and Treasurer, Vaughn Ford. At Christmas time, the losers in an English contest gave a party for the winners. In February, the class enjoyed a jolly sleigh-ride party to Northville where we had hot choco- late and sandwiches. Six Freshman girls represented our class in declamation. Dora Galli- more won second place. On May 27, we gave our Freshman dance to which the members of the other classes were invited. At a ninth and tenth grade assembly, May 4, the class presented a play entitled The Florist Shop. By the time we were Sophomores, our class membership had dropped to 100. Our offi- cers for that year were: President, Louis Straubg Vice-President, Evelyn Ash, Secretary and Treasurer, Helen Schmidt. The Sophomore class gave its second dance December 9, 1927, and it was a great success. The auditorium was attractively decorated with evergreen boughs. We were the first class to have the privilege of decorating for such an event. Louis Straub was elected as delegate to represent our class at The Older Boys' Confer- ence at Pontiac. The following Sophomore boys participated in athletics: Football-Vaughn Ford, Gale Kenyon, Kenneth Gust, Clare Lylce, and Louis Straub, Basketball-Elton Knapp, Gerald I-Iondorp, and Donald Atkinson, captain of the second team, Track-Louis Straub, Edwin Reber, and Clare Lylce. The Sophomore girls took last place in the class games and the boys second place, being defeated by the Juniors by two points. We hope the rest of our high school life will be as happy and successful as the past two years have been. Evelyn Ash 27
