Sophomore Class, Dimion II On September 8, 1925, the largest Freshman class in the annals of the school entered St. Thomas High School. From all parts of Rockford and the neighboring towns we came. NVith books under our arms, we marched with sternly dignified step up the walk, and into the building. ln the corridor we stood, like tin soldiers waiting for the superior officerls com- mand as to what to do next. VVithin a few moments we were shown to our re- spective rooms, and were instructed as to the rules of the institution. Suddenly a bell began to ring, and the presiding Sisa ter told us it was the signal for us to go to class. lt mattered little that none of us knew to which class we were going.- ours Not to question why, into the hall we poured a hundred strong, each man clutching his books as if they were his ', I : 4 'f 'sg l39l only friends in an alien country. lndeed not knowing where we were to go, and doubting that, in the confusion of rooms, we should ever see that particular room again. we felt that discretion was the greater part of valor, so wherever we went our books went with us. Although our Freshman year was a happy one, we rejoiced when it was at an end. However, returning again in September, 1926, our proud feeling of su- periority and dignity was soon humbled and we found that we were still young in our quest for learning. Next year when we pupils meet again in the halls of old St. Thomas or perhaps in the spacious corridors of the new St. Thomas, no more loyal students will be there than the Sophomores of 1926.
