The freshman class organized this year intending to do things, and they did ! They accomplished an unheard of feat this year when they gave a freshman dance which, although not a financial success, was a great social event in the school year, and the class feel that they have done their part in making this a pleasant school year. They also took another very important step when, in their meeting in May, they voted to prohibit all smokers from holding office in the class of 1918. They feel that in this they have taken a very important step for the pupil ' s welfare, and feel that time will prove it so. So it may be seen that as freshmen they did things, and as up- per classmen will probably do great things. George L. Barrows.

[ SOPHOMORES This large class of Sophomores, numbering 94 at the present time, have representatives in every organization of the A. H. H. S. Among the Athletes we stand high. We have five letter men. Four of our boys played football; two of the basketball quintet were sophomores ; and five members of first baseball team belong to this class. Other school activities are supported by the class in a similar way. Though making no display, but working quietly, this class bids fair to make a strong and reliable Junior class which will up- hold all the traditions of former classes and possibly show that there are things yet to be discovered.

Johnson, State Student Secretary. He talked on The All Round Man. At this time the program committee presented the program which they had prepared and had printed. It consisted of the dates for future meetings with their speakers and their subjects. The program was very interesting and was accepted unanimously. A motion was laid before the Chair that the Club be broken up into separate groups consisting of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors for weekly Bible study, and that the Club as a whole should get together at least once a month to discuss what they had done. This motion was carried and was followed out with great success. The third meeting was held on December 4, 1914.
