1' V FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE CLASS The word Freshman is derived from the Latin word freshet meaning gusher of knowledge. Sophomore is also derived from the Latin sophis combined with the stem of the Greek root Kate, familiarly known as K-K- K-Katieg this combination, taken in its entity, means sophisticated in knowledge. Freshman-Sophomore combined means wise and great in the use and dispensation of knowledge. These derivations were obtained, after much research work on the part of the author, in the Latin-Greek dic- tionary in use in the year 1 B. C., the Paleozoic age. Thus modestly self announced, we stand introduced to you, the Freshman-Sophomore class of the University High School, ye year 1923. We are a mighty body, twenty-six strong, and, in our own estimation, the best the High School has ever had, or ever will produce. All things are possible to us, even unto singing and playing on musical instruments as witnesseth, one-fifth of our army in the Glee Club. We are a very literary body, sixty-nine percent of us being Per Gradians. The member chosen to represent this society as president the first semester came from the ranks of the Sophomores. We are noteworthy, even tho we are forced to admit it ourselves, in all activities that tend to place our school in the foremost ranks of high schools. For instance three of the basket ball stars come from our group, among whom is our highly esteemed captain, Edgar Harding, a member of the Freshman class. We have an equally large representation in the other activities, namely, our school paper, The Midget, and on the Civic League board. Again let us pat ourselves gently on the back. In the fall of the year when the Coulee bull frogs ceased to croak, and the prairie grasses were turning brown, a series of plays were given in commemora- tion of Better Speech Week. One play was presented by each class. Al- though the Sophomores did REMARKABLY well the Freshmen won the contest, to the great chagrin of the Juniors and Seniors. What greater honor can come to man than to have his name blazoned on the roll of fame. Our Honor Roll shows thirty-two percent of our class enrollment, there- by proving that we live up to our grand derivation in all respects. In closing we would gladly pay a tribute in prose to our beloved teachers and splendid school, but words fail us, so we are forced to call this epistle to a close. -ROBERT VoLD.
