' I ' f 4 jx aww , ' . 1 A A Sopholnores of 1918. RQ N THE tall ot' 1914, we, the Freshmen, came stragglingnin, one by one. luach with-a woebegone, drawn-out tace, looking and watching tor the big stunts that the other classes were going to 'tpull ott on we greenies. The Sophomores then, made great sport ot' us and told us to be sure and wear the green and have our shoes polished. The expected morning arrived, and we . were all there, not wearing the green, except on our faces. NVe expected some dreadful event to happen, but instead we were greeted with a big, hearty laugh, and then nine rahs for our greenness. And the other classes expressing their hopes that when we reached the Senior year our knowledge would be greater. After some llLll1lCI'2llDlC mistakes each day, blunders growing fewer, we learned the ways ot' the new community. It was now time tor our party and we sure had one. XVe planned to have it several places, but the Sophomores were bound to tind out. XVe finally selected a place, a11d every one at'ter meeting in bunches walked fearlessly to Minnit-'s door. Everything was O. K. for a little while, and we began to think we for once had fooled the H. S. tormentors. But toward nine-thirty P. M. sounds from outside were heard. The lights were turned out but we were discovered. liut nevertheless we enjoyed the evening, and our greatest enjoyment was the capturing ot' two Soph- omores and making them COIIIQ in and dine with the verdant Fresh- men. XVe all reached home at a comparatively early hour except our most popular classmate, John Henry Gibson, who was shaking from head to loot for fear he would have to walk home on his head. but about one- thirty he arrived holne safe with the assistance ol' an adult. The year quickly rolled by and the other classes admitted we were the smartest Freshman they had ever seen. Saw. Though rather hard to admit. XVe entered the Sophomore year and have fully outgrown our green- ness, a11d like all Sophomores were ready to greet and make t'un ot' the Freshies that arrived this year. And as dignified Juniors we enter the year 1916 with more mercy and consideration for the coming Freshies. NVe all hope as Seniors we will have fewer vacancies than we have had the previous years. Our teachers have never considered us bookworms. XVe are plan- ning to leave old V. .l. ll. S. although small in quantity, the largest in quality. -BERTHA M. GRANT. ..21...
