CLASS CALENDAR SOPHOMORE YEAR 1929 - 1930 September 9 We shyly, yet proudly, enter the doors of Somerville High School. At last we have taken our places among the honored. September 10 We have taken our places among the honored, but we are sorry to say we aren’t “of them.” They call us a name pronounced with dis- dain, SOPHOMORES. October 9 We have been lost for a month in this vast building, but we are grad- ually getting our bearings. A sweet and friendly organization known as the Traffic Squad has been most help- ful in this respect. October 20 We have discovered where the voice that makes even the mighty bow down comes from, an affable gentleman known as Mr. Pearson. We’ll soon have all the secrets dis- covered. November 6.

September 10 How small those Sopho- mores look and are they not the most bothersome creatures? October 1 At our first Assembly today we are reminded of our duties for the year, and we make high resolves to perform them. November 7 Today we re-elected our of- ficers of last year. December 23 We depart for our Christ- mas vacation, anxious to see what Santa will bring. (Of course we know there is no Santa, but one must pre- tend for the Sophomores.) January 23 At an assembly today, Mr. Avery reminded us of the coming National Honor Society election. How desirous we all are of becoming mem- bers. February 19 We witnessed a very fine play tonight, “Nothing But the Truth,” successfully put on by the Senior Class. Sixteen
