We did not Want to come incontact with the jolly Juniors and Seniors at first. We progressed very Well and in about one Week after school commenced a Sophomore joined us. Great progress was made in the algebra class under Mr. Fox and in the Latin Work under Mr. Marlatt. Most of the class were exempt in Latin and Algebra the first semester. At the beginning of the second semester we lost one of our class in Latin. Page twenty-eight At the beginning of our Sophomore year one was added to our class, Edgar Dean McMath. We pro- gressed very nicely until Christmas, at which time one of class deserted us. Though few in number We Went at our Work with a zest that Won for us an in- terest in our subjects that has been both an inspira- tion to ourselves and to our teachers, no doubt. Mabel Hamilton was forced to leave school on ac- count of ill health. Though few in number We are still looking forward to our Junior year with a great deal of enthusiasm.

She has a spirit of self confidence which is appropriately described in the following lines: l'm the best friend I ever had, l like to he with meg I like to sit and tell myself Things eonlltlentiallyf' I LAVON HALL: Vony. Ile is the finest gen- tleman of them all. The kid specializes in high grades and merit marks, and never fails to knock a home run or two in the examination series. Mem- ber of the Il. S. play. 'l-1-'15, Il. S. basket ball team, '14-'15g captain, '15, A guard on the basket hall team, whose close guarding drove terror into the hearts of all opposing powers and whose wield- ing of thetennis raclfets is sure to count up in points for him. His record is: First in sports, first in his studies, and first in the admiration of his femi- nine friends. ELSIE SCOTT: Miss Elsie Scott, or Miss Seat. as she is frequently called, is a member of all the social functions ol' li. ll. S., among them the Glee Club. She does not hesitate to acknowledge that Geometry is her favorite subject. Her eyes are as blue as the sky, ller ways so eharining and right, ller dimples so deep and spry That you know she's a Junior bright. DWIGHT BROOKS: Bookie g 'tHungry. Member of the Athletic Club, center for the as- piring R. H. S. basket ball team, and a promising baseball man. This studious youth, being crowned at his feet, has become a sky-scraper. Hence he looks down on us from his commanding positiong but with a grave and sympathetic expression on his clear-cut face. llis words are bonds, his oaths are oracles. llis love sincere. and his thoughts immaculate.

N the sixth of September, ISII4, seven gay I reshmen entered the Iialeign lligh School. It seemed strange wI1en we tirst came in contact with our larger friends. How- ever, wc were determined that we would do our best to make the school proud of us. Although we were Freshies we advanced very nicely in our lessons the Iirst semester and nearly all escaped taking the examination. Roy Ilox, one of our number, moved to Illi- nois. Soon after his departure Robert, think- ing high school lit'e none too pleasant, decided to work on the farm. About March our num- ber was again increased to seven bv the addi- tion oi' Davis Nelson, formerly ot' liushville, and Lilly Keith. of Lewisville. Soon after their joining us, Blanche was forced to lose four weeks of school on account of her health. 'I'he remaining ones have progressed rapidly, study' ing sometimes both night and day. Now as the last day of school dawns upon us we feel that we have fulfilled our duties as I'1l'0SIlIl'lPIl. We have made many friends dur- ing our Freshman year and feel that the school would be deserted without us. However, we are going to strive to the end so that when our school days are over we will have been a credit to the Raleigh High School. l -Agin- YOORIIIESE THOMAS IIAZIZL RIDER , LOA CALIJWICLL FRESHMAN CLASS POEM.
