lT I I E U A KLIN ; T O N SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 14. 1925, when school opened for the year, the Sophomore class welcomed six new pupils: Karl Shumaker, Dwight Rogers. Marlin Linton, Stanley Hare, Ross Dunbar and Carl Radebaugh. Carl was with us two years ago, but attended military school last year. Carolyn Ros-enfeld entered our grade on January 25, 1926. Ellen Ben bow withdrew temporarily from the Sophomore class February 12, 1926. The Sophomore class was late in organizing, but on December 4, 1926, we met and elected Anne Zartman, president; John Wuichet, vice-president; and Robert Francisco, secretary and treasurer. Our one social function of the year was the “Holiday Hop”, the name being original with Wayne Geissinger, noted humorist of the Sophomore class. This was held in the gymnasium on the evening of December 19, 1925. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Geissinger, Miss Mary Vance and Miss Mar-grett Schultz were the chaperones. A candy sale was held shortly after the Christmas holidays at which nine dollars was made. This increased the class funds considerably. During the basketball season each class in the high school was in charge of a pep meeting. Ours was held on February 19. 1926, and a good time was had by all.

Jin fUrmnriam This year we lost one of the most esteemed members of the Junior class. Betty Kern died at Miami Beach, Florida, just after she had arrived there. During her illness she composed the following poem. Her kindliness to everybody is shown by her attitude toward the tiny bird which fed on the crumbs from her window sill. Oh how I wish I were just a wee bird Perched on my window sill. Eating the crumbs I have carefully left. Until he has had his fill. Once every morning I place the crumbs there. Right there for him, my dear. And wait the arrival of my feathered guest. Who comes without fright or fear. After he’s eaten his fare with great greed, (Shockingly rude. I admit!) Swelling with pride he will sing me a song. Repaying me well for it. Oh little songster, soon Spring will be here, Clothed in her bright array. Bringing the buds and the flowers and leaves, And taking the coldness away. Then you shall no longer come to my sill. Winter shall be no more. Flying away you will build you a nest. Mating a wife you adore. Oh, but I know I shall miss you, my pet, (You little saucy wren!) I shall be watching next winter for you. Until you come again.
