41++' ---'Y' H WATCH CITY BULLETIN. 9 it which we returned once more to school. Prompt as usual, and anxious to have all necessary business transacted as soon as possible, we held ourfirst class- meeting of the Sophomore year on the NVednesday after the opening of school. The oflicers for the en- suing year were chosen as follows : J. Royden Gilbert, president, Gertrude E. Browne, vice-presi- dent, Annie L. Halleran, secretary, and Russell Hyde, treasurer. The matter of a social was con- sidered. This social, the first and last of our Sopho- more year, and in fact the only one held by any class that year, was in Reynolds hall. Now that we were Sophomores the hall of the old building did not seem to suit us at all. This year we enjoyed more danc- ing, and invited more guests, than we had formerly. For this we have wonvquite a reputation, and to say that a social is conducted by '04 always attracts graduates of the school, who were then in the upper classes. During this social some disturbance was made outside, and on this account the Seniors nearly lost their dance. Cf course, when a class-meeting was called to see whether we were willing that they should have their dance, we were only too willing. It seemed to us as if we should be rewarded by them, if we upheld their rights. This was a proof of our loyalty to the Class of 1902. During this year several of our boys made their first appearance in long pants. Such airs as they put on, and such disdainful glances as they cast upon us! In fact, it was prophesied of Chester that his long pants and troubled frown would, some day, make him an important member of the class. The Seniors boasted that the teachers were work- ing over time to lill up the enlarged craniums of the Juniors and Sophomores. This could not, of course, have had reference to our C D division, who actually translated four lines of German in recitation, and were so interested that they used to go back after- noons. This division, judging that the class ought to have a motto, chose for themselves, U Ego non timeo, or 4' I am not afraidf' They have most al- ways succeeded in keeping this motto. Our class was distinguished by two rival fortune- tellers. Annie told hers in school, where she re- quested all to come early and avoid the rush. You know she has always been fond of coming early, and thereby avoiding a rush. Raymah's fortune-telling not only relieved you in mind, but also in pocket, for hers were ,told at the candy sale. Some members discovereda new fact in Physics, that gravity and whispering had like powers, in that they both drew down 5 in the case of whispering, from the back settee to the front. Not only was this found true in Mr. Wattls recitation, but also in room 6. The A division had many illustrious mem- bers in its Geometry recitation. VVinslow performed marvelous feats with chocolates, and Hazel wrote poems on every subject suggested to her. Mr. WVatts found that it was hard for some of us to cross the floor without making a great deal of noise, and suggested that if we were rubber-tired, it might possibly make some difference. However, he did not seem to think that we might be geometry-tired. Mabel could not recite at times, because she had a cold and was hoarse from,-well, eating candy. Winslow's baby ways were fast disappearing, al- though he had to be strapped to his chair occasion- ally. As for Dana, he could not contain himself, even in Latin, but must, by force of habit, due to victories in base-ball, yell 4' Hurrah!'l in Latin class. A few more months passed, and we became Juniors. Cn a few of us was now conferred the honor of be- ing allowed to sit in room 8 with the Seniors. Naturally we were very meek, since we felt so abashed by those Seniors. The first meeting of the year was called on the first Thursday of school in room 3 by President Gilbert, to organize the class. Now, Chester's prophecy was fulfilled, for he was made president of the class, with Dorothy L. Mosher, as vice-president, and Annie L. Halleran, secretary and treasurer. The matter of a class social was con- sidered immediately, since we had not had one for such a long time. This social was held in Reynold's hall, the first of October, the usual number of 4' out- siders, if such they may be called, being present as our honored guests. . There were some members of the class, who de- sired pins, and this matter was taken into considera-. tion. To our surprise, the committee in charge, found that the class was in debt. You know that even in the best of families, there are some things that do not run smoothly, such was the case in our class. The committee tried to clear this debt, and taxed each member of the class fifteen cents. The task of this committee was not at all agreeable, and they attained a reputation for their ability to collect money, but not until Mr. Eaton mentioned the sub- ject at a class meeting. We attempted to have a sleigh ride, but owing to a severe Storm on the date set, and not much sleigh- ing afterwards, this project had to be given up. Another social took the place of this sleigh-ride.
