........THE ECHO, ’27 The Sophomore History We entered Tremont High in 1925, twenty-one in number. We were all ambitious and looked forward to this new life with great in- terest. For some reason that we did not understand, we were considered “pea-green freshies”. With Miss Skinner as class adviser we were soon organized with the following officers: John Gerstner, President; Dor- othy Moser, Vice-President; Emma Moser, Secretary, and Marie Fawer, Treasurer. A few weeks after entering, the Sophomores initiated us into the mysteries of high school life. Although it was a lively party, we all survived and a little later we returned the honor in the form of a Hal- lowe’en party. Our class as a whole looked very promising. During the year we were represented in the various school activities by Donald Kinsey, Sam Herman, and Wilbur Coddington in baseball, Sam in basketball, and Harold Blue in the Literary Club. After a year of very hard work we felt rewarded. The following September w'e found that five of our members failed to return because of too urgent home duties. We were soon organized with Harold Becker as President, Carl Hoffman as Vice-President, and Helen Schmid as Secretary and Treasurer. In a few weeks we initiated the new pupils. Early in November, Russell Diers came from Manito to join our ranks. On the eve of Thanksgiving Day, the class was called upon to surrender its Vice-President to the grim reaper, Death. After this school never quite seemed the same. Yet, responding to the call of Duty, Russell Diers became active in basketball. John Gerst- ner suffered the misfortune of colliding with a barn floor and hobbled around on crutches until the sprained ankle was healed. We have sur- vived the remainder of the year and enter the future with profound hopes that T. C. H. S. may some day well be proud of its class of 1929. Sophomore Flower Garden Johnny-Jump-Up...

a- THE ECHO, ’27. .........13 Crossing the Bar Sunset and the evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound or foam When that which grew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and the evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
