SOPHOMORE ENTERTAINMENT On one day in the usually bright month of October, the Sophomores began to tire of the monotony in school, for everything had been dull for several weeks and there seemed to be nothing interesting in view, so they ogan to ponder and ponder upon what they could do to break the monotony. Of course there were many suggestions, but they finally agreed upon having a marshmallow toast. But even after they decided to have a marshmallow toast to fill the vacancy in amusements, there were many exciting class meetings held before everything was in readiness. So on the chosen even- ing. October 16, the class gathered in the school yard and from there went to a field a little way out of town where the toast was t be held. The class was chaperoned by Miss Etta Wittmer. A very enjoyable evening was then spent, for as no other class dreamed of such good times in October, the Sophomores aimed to have a very good time. After many games were played by the light of the camp-fire, (for the camp-fire burned during the whole evening), the marshmallows were toasted and. as they sat around the fire, many ghost stories were told and they tried to make the evening weird ard make everyone afraid to go home. Then as the camp-fire burned low. and their interest i 1 games and marshmallows was lagging, the party, to prove their bravery, made a trip to the spring. This necessitated passing the cemetery, but as Mr. Moudv was not along no one faltered. At the spring more weird stories were told and as they went home they were re joining and were well satisfied with themselves and everyone else and I oping that some one else would soon decide to have another marshmallow toast r something to break the monotony of coming weeks. )n January 22, a jolly bunch of Sophs made a delightful sleighing party to the home of Vartlia and Loa Wines. The moon shone very brightly and thus the party was kept from being afraid. The sledding was fine and it was the first trip of the season. Besides many others, the “Dome-cracking game of Brother, I am Bobbed, was played. During the evening the taff was passed and everyone cleaned their hands. While on the porch many accidents occurred, such as being submerged in the snow drifts, dropping taffy into each other’s hair. etc., and a few had to be rescued from the sticky stuff. Miss Morrow and Miss Masters chaperoned the party- FAYE MISER. 16.

Ioa SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We. the Sophomore class of the W. H. S.. entered upon our High School life in the fall of 1912. When we entered we were a class of thirty live members, the largest Freshman class in the history of the W. H. S. This class was made up of fifteen graduates of the Waterloo Grammar grades, twelve recruits from Corunna and vicinity and eight from the tow '- ships around Waterloo. Though we are very proud of having the larges class in school, we have also the most beautiful pennant in the 11 gh S.ciioo! Assembly room we think. During our Freshman year. Russell Robinson lost his enthusiasm and dropped out of the ranks. We sincerely hoped to retain all those who yet remained true, but about Christmas. Lisle McEenterfer became tired of strug- gling with the Language of the Caesars and left school. The end of our first year found us with thirty-three loyal members, all prepared to return as Sophomores, but at the opening of the I9I3- I4 term, five dear classmates were missing- From this number three are attending other schools and t have taken up other work. We Sophomores, as a class, are stud ous. thoughtful, and ever willing to lend the helping hand to those about us. Among our number is found, much talent along literary lines, debates and essays being our specialty. Ioa Zonker has won two prizes on her essays, one being a state prize. We.cla’m the honor of having one Sophomore on the High School Debating Team. As we advance, step by step, toward the Senior goal, we are striving tc do our best, to win honor's laurels, and we fully realize the truth of our motto, that there is No crown without the dust of labor.” RALPH STALEY, Historian.
