Sophomores, Sophomores; yes. by Gosh!” As Freshmen we entered the Steamboat Springs High School in the year 1912 to start a four-years’ career and with every intention of overcoming all obstacles in our way. In athletics we were ready to go forward to do our best for the dear old “Crimson and White.” Several of the members were on hand for football and basketball. In track, there were no entries from our class. The next year started with nineteen members, several having dropped out and new ones added to the list. This year we all feel the added knowledge and the glory of being a Sophomore, and instead of being the laughing stock of the High School we had. in our turn, many a good joke at the expense of the Freshmen. This year again our class was well represented in athletics, several members being out for basket ball, base ball and track. In a social line we have been ready for anything. We were not afraid of being tied to a telephone pole, or any little inconveniences such as that. In fact, we were only too glad to get revenge on the class that seemed to be so closely pursuing us. We have worked with a vim and struck hard blows at Caesar, geometry and other studies which appear quite catchy.” With each member looking forward to the glories of commencement and the “sheepskin.” the class will probably continue with added fervor in the manner in which they have so grandlv commenced. BYRON I- GROESBECK. Ten Commandments 1. Thou shalt not touch the football with thy hands. 2. Thou shalt not tear paper into bits. 3. Thou shalt not talk in the hall. 4. Thou shalt not get a credit in music unless thou singest. 5. Thou shalt not speak without permission. (5. Thou shalt not giggle only to thyself. 7. Thou shalt not break up parties of upper or lower classmen. 8. Thou shalt not leave the room without putting thy name on the board. 9. Thou shalt not lie down on thy desk. 10. Thou shalt not believe in anything opposite to Mr. Miller’s ideas. Rich men may boast that they do not know how much they are worth, but few men know how little they are worth.

Class: President--------------------------- James Guthrie Vice President -Mary Harris Secretary Marion Leckenbv Treasurer Maurice Leckenbv Class Colors—Orange and Black. Class Flower—Brown-eyed Susan. We entered school in September with a class of twenty very energetic pupils. We had a hard time in Latin and algebra, but we also had a great deal of pleasure with our toils. We went on a botany expedition and col- lected specimens of leaves and roots with which to dec- orate our class room. We also had a picnic, on which we had a good time and learned what good cooks we had in our class. But not only are the girls good cooks, they are also good fighters, as one of the Junior boys can testify. We can boast that on the average we have one of the youngest High School classes in the state. We also have some very promising athletes in our ranks. In October the Freshman basket ball team defeated the Sophomores by a score of 12 to 5. St. Patrick’s day the Freshmen shone in all the glory of the “green.” We also had our fun on the first of April, but it wasn’t the kind the teachers enjoy. We have been teased and made fun of, and .almost worked to death, but in spite of all this we have found that silver lining that we are told is behind every cloud. MAURICE W. LECKENBY. Can You Imagine of 1917 Clio shaving? Frank in a dress suit? Will Gatley as a musician? Genevieve Traver dancing a jig? Burton Allin proposing to Letha? Margaret Love as a ballet dancer? The Freshies having class meeting? Loudon loving anyone besides Nan? Clio ragging with Marion Van Deusen? Miss Shearer spitting out the window? Where Jessie found her chemistry book? Maurice and Maude out horseback riding? Marion Burroughs sitting still five minutes? Nancy Van Deusen running a 100-yard dash? Bertha and Van “Down by the Old Mill Stream?” Helen living without “Beazlc Katze” (it is her only cat) ? Bill B. paying attention to one girl more than five min- utes? Harry Love saying “I don’t know.” in the German class? Miss Hoyt climbing a telephone pole in her crepe dress ? Miss Shearer saying: “I went to the show last night with Clarence?” Silence is the understanding of fools and one of the virtues of the wise.
