 £ 11 t i! l 1! !j HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS On the fifth of September, 1919, we eighth graders, laid aside our grammars and ascended to the heights of Freshmen. With hearts overflowing with pride we hippity-hopped into the assembly and filled the room with our chatter. Upper classmen looked upon us as youngsteis and inferiors but we paid no attention. Before many days passed there was a general rearrangement of seats, to break-up the too friendly groups. The class proceeded to awaken the school by its “pep.” A class meeting was called and the chief officers were elected: President, Carl Woods, Vice-President, Max Wayne Vest, Treasurer, Esther Bruhn. Towards the end of September, we felt that a party would divert our minds from Latin and Algebra which were wearing upon our minds. We were told that the gymnasium was spoken for by the Sophomores. Since the authorities wouldn’t consent to us having a party during the week, we either had to change the date or prevent their party. Neither was possible, so we finally urged the Sophies to have one big farewell party with us for Godwin Conrad w'ho was moving aw ay. This our first showing of real diplomacy. The Juniors and Seniors passed many compliments on our good behavior. When the members of the Athletic Teams were called, the Freshmen furnished, Max Wayne Vest for football and Glenn Thompson and Fred Williams for the basketball squad. The two girls teams with Lyra Bird as captain won every game from the upper classes. A wiener-roast at Romine’s woods w as a great success. With the new year came several parties then semester exams. Saint Patrick’s Day was a great event. At the party all the faculty members came with an Irish joke. Miss Boyd told us that the Irish tell time thusly: “When a Ford goes down hill following another Ford, it is ’tin after tin’ ” With a few grains of our hard earned knowledge we said good-bye to the Freshmen rows and became Sophomores. The following September 1920, we returned as Sophomores. What superior characters indeed! The Freshies were so little and so green. We laughed when told that we had acted in the same manner when we were Freshies. At our class meeting, Harriett Michener was elected President, Fred Williams, Vice-President and Helen Hollingsworth, Treasurer. We Sophies, put out several football men, Max Wayne Vest, Carl Woods, Dwdght Moody, Charles Monroe and Fred Rahn. Fred Williams was elected cheer-leader with Irene Dickinson as his assistant. Freddie broke his arm leading cheers, thus proving his loyalty. We contributed; Benny Luetz, Charles Monroe, Glenn Thompson, Joe Busby and Fred Williams to the basketball squad.
