Page 26 YIKER Sophomore History 'Twas in September of twenty-one, When as Freshmen we'd begun, We were timid, awkard, and shy, But these left us bye and bye. As a number we totaled twenty-six, Some impolite Juniors called us hicks. Often our spirits were cold and damp, But Virginia, our ingenue, Laura, our vamp, They made things lively while we worked away, Working and hoping to be Sophs some day. VVe had cases? Oh, yes! both Latin and love, But they have even those in the classes above. We had Virgil, too, not the study, Just mere boy, but to Laura a buddy. There were also Vera and Emmett, too: Vera rather fell for Gerald Blue. Edna Cox, our president, diplomatic, Ruled us easily and democratic. As the year wore by at a snail's pace, We found we had won out, in the first race. Delight and joy were everywhere, Only a few had some slight despair. Now we are Sophomores, happy and proud, Considering ourselves above the Freshie crowd. Jay White has done splendidly on the basket ball team: On him the rest of the Sophomores beam. We have Lucile Stevenson with us this year, Raymond always whispering in her ear. Grace Byers still works all the time, Opal is asking, When do we dine? Thelma and Florence are very sedate, I'm afraid an old maid will be their fate. Ossie and Geneva think school is bum, VVhile they sit and sit and pop their gum. Nevertheless, I maintain, that it's true, Utmost respect to Sophomores is due. -Opal Lane, '25 S-is for Sophomores, the class that is bestg O-is for Ossie, who teases the rest. P-is for Pittman, who often draws pictures, H-is for Hugh, who sleeps on the fixtures. O-is for Opal, poetically inclined, M-is for Mathis, mixing batters, on her mind. O-is for others, in the Sophomore ring, R-is for Randles, with T. I. on the string. E-is for the end of this blamed old thing.
