T H E E A G L E Twenty-Seven CLASS HISTORY OF SOPHO ORE VVhen the melancholy days of September, 1926, whirled along, a class of freshmen reluc- tantly winded their weary way to St. .lohn's Catholic Academy, after whiling away two carefree months. After being welcomed to the learned halls of this famed school, they were ushered into the first year class room. Here they were introduced to the X, y, z's of Algebra, the wonders of Biology, the charms of their mother tongue and the intricacies of Latin. The year passed quickly, profitably and pleasantly and in the whirligig of time these same students were seeking admission to the sophomore class. Their ranks were decreased, for some of their companions had growniweary of book love and had .joined the legion of workers. The searchers for wisdom were guided into the second year class room. There they learned how Caesar won his Gallicticlds, made acquaintance with Socrates and Alex- ander, were given an introduction to ullarlez- vous francais,', continued their work in Eng- lish classics, and were ably guided into the mazes of Euclid. At tl1e end ot' this term they are looking for- ward with that hope that springs eternal in the human breast that they may find favor with the powers that be to be admitted to the Junior class in September, 1928.

T H E E A G L E Twenty-Nine HISTGRY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS In the fall of 1927 we entered St. John's Catholic Academy, a group of eager girls and boys standing at the threshold of our high school career. VVe were thrilled at becoming high school students, and a little frightened as we looked down the four long years and wondered what they would hold for us. lvould we be able to acquit ourselves credit- ably in our studies? Or would we find difficult subjects a stumbling block in the path towards success? Sister Gerardts patience and understanding soon won our confidence and affection. It was not long before we became a friendly, united class. Together we plunged into our course, attacking with vigor Algebra, Latin, Biology and English. Algebra was not easy. However, under the able direction of our teacher, we successfully found our way through x's, y's and z's. Then Latin. At Hrst we were bewildered by the formidable array of Latin declensions, con- jugations, rules and vocabularies which we were to master. Now, when we have the pleas- ure of reading simple Latin passages intel- ligently, we have come to realize the truth that nothing is difficult of accomplishment when properly attacked. Although we devoted much energy to study- ing, we did not neglect pleasure. lVhile we have had no entertainment of our own, many of us enjoyed the Junior Card Party and the Senior Dance and all of us enjoyed our school holidays. Now our Freshman year is drawing to its close. If the next three years be like our first one, gaining a high school education will be one of the most pleasant experiences of our lives. All through high school we are going to work to our maximum capacity to increase our knowledge. lVe shall go on striving to do our best in high school to fit ourselves for the greater school of life.
