Sophomore fflfistory quickly and surely shattered in the Roanoke High School. Wfe, the Class of 1915, however, spent many months in real- izing that a few people in the world actually knew more than ourselves. Having discovered this fact, we immediately began to strive for more knowledge. Christmas, mid-year examinations, and the new term passed swiftly, and we found the finals. ln the struggle that followed a few fell by the Wayside. and the more lucky passed to the long-desired rank of Sophomores. lt seemed the happiest moment of our lives when upon returning to school in September we assumed the dignity of old students. Therefore, imagine l,TllOUGH the conceit of Freshmen is very great it is always our chagrin when, in searching for the rats we found there were none. The Intermediate School had taken every one and the pleasure of cordiallyC?j welcoming them was lost. Qur disappointment was soon forgotten, however, under the avalanche of work which fell upon us. Faithfully we toiled through until at last the Christe mas holidays came, and then how short it was until examinations! Again we passed the ordeal bravely and began the spring term. The Class was now ready for organization and, accordingly, February twelfth a meeting was called for that purpose. The Class officers elected were Mr, Beverly Boyd as president, Mr. Wfilson Cook, vice president, Miss Anne Lacy, secretary, and Miss Ranie Plunkett, treasurer. I Several honors have been taken by the Class the past year. The medal offered by the Daughters of the Confederacy for the best essay on Stonewall jackson was won by a member of our Class, and several others were given positions of honor in the various organizations of the school. Class spirit has developed rapidly and as we look backward over the past two years and forward to the coming two, we resolve to make this Class one of which in after years we can proudly say, I am of the Class of 1915 in the dear old R.
