Boom-:1-lzickzil Sis! Boom! Bah! Sophomoresl Sophomores! Rah! Rzih! Rah! The class of 1904. We are the best and strong- est class of the High School. The class that will leave a record after them. It is with apride that We look back on our previous success and see the laurels that have crowned our efforts. We are a class of twenty-eight bright members, each one toiling steadily upward. The annual class literary program which was rendered before a large audience was said to have been the best of any given. We are the only B. S. C. and We hope to grad- uate in '04 with the same title but its meaning slightly changed. We rightly feel proud of our class, but We shall never let it affect us as it does the Seniors. ,In the athletic field the Sophomores have been very successful. A foot ball team was organized which proved to be very strong. In a game with the Freshmen We came out victorious, the score being eleven to nothing. We also have several stars on the track team.

Who are-who are Who are we? First in studies First in size K We are the class of 1905. The Hstately digniiedu seniors have requested our class to present the history of 1905 , to the public. Although We are only Freshmen We have a history Worth repeating. Our history as a class begins With the fall of 1901 when We assembled from the four corners of the earth Hjust from under the nursels carefl We entered with a great deal of self-confidence, and When some upper class rnan Qthe Sophs Were extra kindb thought it his duty to give us some brotherly advice We were not discouraged, but, We patiently listened to the short lectures deliver- ed for our benefit. When the other classes be- gan to talk about organizing We also caught the spirit and Were the first Freshrnan class in the history of the Sparta'High School to organize. We were also the largest class. Time passed on and the day on which We Were to make manifest our athletic skill as a foot ball teain soon came. As all starters We prepared to conquer the World,
