May THE TROJAN 1022 OPHOMORE LASS ISTORY 7. . , , It can always be said that we are a good-natured reliable bunch. A few of us have been school mates since we entered the first grade in 1913. These are: Gertrude Wright, Dorothy Culp, Aileen Monroe, Ben Williamson, Elmer Decker, 'William Reeder, and Rosa Ricklefs. Gradually the others straggled in, some here and some there. Beulah Gurwell was added to the Class in 1914 and Drusilla Gartner a year after that. Allen Able enrolled with us in the seventh grade while the eighth year brought a host of new members. They were: Earl Decker, Veva Earhart, Anna Taylor, Beulah Arm- strong, Adeline Dishon, Katherine Kotsch, and Dessie Scarbrough. What shy, blushing and blundering Freshmen we were when we entered T. H. S. in 1920, but our shyness soon wore off and we became one of the most frolicsome and pepiest classes in the building. Our enrollment was thirty, consisting of the following members: Beulah Gurwell, Lorene Himes, Ruth Warwick, 'Veva Earhart, Chloe Mc- Clelland, Anna Taylor, Gertrude Wright, Dorothy Culp, Beulah Armstrong, Aileen Monroe, Ben Williamson, Elmer Decker, Mary Moser, Clara Meugniot, Louis Miller, Adeline Dishon, Katherine Kotsch, Allen Abel, Drusilla Gartner, 'William Reeder, Des- sie Scarbrough, Albert Zimmerman, Earl Decker, Lillian Webster, Matthew Wilkinson, Ralph Moser, Nellie Wood, Meryle DeHart, Milton Spriggs and Rosa Ricklefs. Our first day was probably' well rememberedby all because we made many blun- ders and went rushing and tearing along in our effort to get to classes. I might add that this lasted a very short time. With much advice and the occassional word greenie flung at us by our upper classmen we fared very well. At our first class meeting the :following officers were elected: President, Earl Decker, Vice-President, Rosa Ricklefsg Secretary and Treasurer, Katherine Kotsch. Purple and gold were chosen as class colors. The Sophomores entertained us with a welcome party September 22, 1920 and on Hallowe'en we repaid them with a ghostly witch party. Many inter-class contests were held during the years and the following represented our class: Girls' vocal solo, Adeline Dishong Boys' 'vocal solo, Albert Zimmerman, Vocal Duet, Anna Taylor and Dessie Scarbroughg Declamation, Rosa Ricklefsg Instrumental solo, Louis Miller, Piano duet Katherine Kotsch and Rosa Ricklefs, Girls' debate, Katherine Kotsch and Chloe McClelland, Boys' debate, William Reeder and Earl Decker. We received :first in two of these events, the Vocal Duet and Boys' Debate. Recreation for the remainder of the year consisted of a tacky party, wienie roasts and two picnics. When we left school in the spring we were a sadder and 'wiser bunch than when we entered in the fall. As most Sophomores we had the big head when 'We came back to T. H. S. after a year's experience and gave the Freshies more teasing than we had -ever received. Two of cur members Milton Spriggs and Meryl DeHart had dropped out of our class but they were replaced by two members, Alice Isenberg, Mary Sheldon. Our class Page 31
