70 Qicurns nf Roanoke 1917 Sophomore Class History N the beginning of the spring term of l9l6 a crowd of boys and girls found their way from Intermediate to Roanoke High School. The reader must remember that we had been Seniors and would soon fall to the low estate of HRats. The boys were greeted with paddles and had to run the gauntlet, Hcuckoou and sing a few songs to their elders. The girls got off easy with the loss of a few hairpins and the dreaded name of Rafi shouted to them between every period. ln a week or so our initiation was over and we settled down to high school life. Time passed swiftly and the May exams soon arrived. After these, vacation, but in a few months we found our- selves back at school. It was then that the other part of our class came from the Intermediate and they suffered the same as their classmates who had come before them, but took it bravely and decided to get even with the new comersn in January. A few weeks after each term has begun a Junior or Senior always comes along and asks the 'iRats if they don't want to join the -Athletic Association. Many do so to show their school spirit, although it costs a few jitneys. Some of the girls joined the Martha Washington Literary Society, and the boys the Jeffersonian. When the time for athletics came, many of the boys went out for basket-ball and baseball, while others made the track and football teams. Soon after our class had entered into the common interests of the school we felt like a part of it and no longer like gathering ourselves up in a corner and dreading the Hnativesl' of the place. And the time will pass with studying, school games, holidays, and vaca- tions until we shall reach the top step and he called The Senior Class of Roanoke High. , CAN-iERiNE PRESTON.
