19-gg, sci-loss 1928 433 Sophomore Class History One bright September morning in the year 1926, the streets were alive with pupils on their way to enroll as members of the Spencerville High School. Sixty of these pupils enrolled as Freshmen. Officers were elected and class motto and colors were chosen. Our class was represented in the orchestra, glee club and track teams. The Sophomore year came with a Rush. The loss of several members made the class somewhat smaller, reducing the number to fifty-three. Our class took great interest in the musical organizations and also in athletics, having several representa- tives in each. The class was proud of their basketball team. The team played many games during the season, winning a majority of them. In the Intramural tournament the Sophomores played the Seniors. The Sophomores put up a good fight, but at the final bell the Seniors held the big end of the score, the score being 26 to 21. The Sophomores enjoyed one big time during the first semester. One beau- tiful evening the class journeyed to the home of Mr. Long where all enjoyed a pleasant time. All the pupils enjoyed a fine Christmas vacation and came back ready for work. The last semester there was not much stirring in the Sohpomore class though we tried to liven it up. The agricultural department held a rodent killing contest in which several' Sophomores took part. They also held a Father and Son banquet in which the Sophomores were represented. The Sophomore class as a group have found the Freshman easy to get along with and hope that we will have as prosperous a Junior year as we have had as Soph- omores. l nu In-4 Page Twenty-Six
