- ------- --fm? ----------- Sophomore Class History In September of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-two, our class, com- posed of nine students, entered the Trivoli Community High School un- der the assigned name of Freshies. At first we glanced around the rooms with shy and timid eyes that met eyes, to us of mockery. After the initiation party however, we felt more at ease. We set our minds to work on new problems of life. In General Science, a study-5 which nearly all of us were interested in, more or less, We tried to behave as well as we could, but due to several sophomores, we often meddled with laboratory necessities, among which were some very dangerous articles. It wasn't any wonder that our teachers often became provoked at us. We organized during the first month of school with DeForest Hitchcock as president, Bruce Turl as vice-president, Fern Higgs as sec- retary-treasurer. So arrived September of '23 when eight of our Freshmen of '22 returned to dear old T. C. H. S. to begin their careers as Sopho- mores. Nathan Doty and Hazel Bartley did not remain with us in our Sophomore year. Hazel went to seek her fortune at Peoria high. Al- giough we lost two good classmates, we gained a new friend, Dayton erber. During our two years of high school, we have entered into the ath- letics and literary fields. We are setting our minds to better things, trying to get all the knowledge we possibly can, that when the year of '26 arrives, we will have good weapons with which to fight the battles of everyday life. Our class at present consists of: Violet Quinn Richard Gregory Fern Higgs Bruce Turl Wilhelmina Bruninga Dayton Gerber Thelma Ewalt DeForest Hitchcock Our officers are: President, DeForest Hitchcock, Vice-President, Thelma Ewaltg -Sec.-Treas., Wilhelmina Bruningag and Class Advisor, Miss Olive L.
