SOPHOMORES. In glancing back over our two years’ course in tlit Aberdeen High School, we ask ourselves the questions: How have we grown? What have we accomplished? IIow do the Sophs compare with other classes of the Aberdeen High? From the very first day of organization our strength and in-Huence have been manifested in every phase of High School life. Whether our men are chasing the pigskin down the gridiron, shooting baskets, pounding out the spherical missile for a home run, or trying to rival the mighty Demosthenes on the rostrums of Oratory and Debate, they are always at home. The first opportunity we had in which to show our strength was in Football. We were ably represented by Vanucie, at tackle; Pennoyer at guard; and “Dump” DeLosh, at end; a trio who helped the team to win the Championship of Southwestern Washington. Next came Basketball. Although we had no players on the boys’ team, we had three on the girls’, Bess Creech, the splendid guard, Raymond Hogan, who did good work at center, and Meg Hogan, who distinguished herself by her basket-throwing. Our class team, too, although not winning the interclass championship, did valiant work. Oh, here is what all Sophomores will be proud to read: Fred Hart and Russell Mack were two of the three members of the Debating team, who have the honor of never being defeated, thereby winning the State Championship. Both Russell and Fred have splendid delivery, and this, combined with excellent arguments, made them shining lights. In the city Declamatory contest, the “Sophs” taking part were Marguerite Cook, Aubrey Archer and Russell Mack. Russell won first place, and Marguerite tied with Aubrey Cross, a Senior, for second place. Russell participated in the county contest and delivered the oration, “An Appeal to Arms,” with force and persuasion, ranking well among the contestants. In the “Merchant of Venice,” the play given by the English Department, the Sophomores taking part were Fred Hart, in the role of “Bassonio,” Aubrey Archer as “Gratiano,” and Arthur Johnson as “Salanio, ” all of whom acquitted themselves creditably. So, with true fidelity to class and school, which strengthen us for the problems of life awaiting us, we move on in our epoch-making careers. Monday morning, March 14. there was seen nailed to the tower of the High School building, a sign in Yale Blue and White, with the words, “Class of ’12” on it. It was the work of several enterprising “Sophies,” who, through their class spirit had devised a means to scale the tower the night before and fasten the sign to the topmost point on the building. Just before school was called, two of the upper classmen succeeded in tearing down the ensign. Although it saw only a few hours of daylight, nevertheless the banner sufficed to give the Sophomores the honor of being the first class to have their banner displayed on the school, an evidence of 30
