 BELLA SILVIAN I he rose that all are praising, is not the rose for me. ABE STOWELL Silence that spoke and eloquence of eyes. EVELYN THARP Her glossy hair was banded o’er a brow Bright with intelligence, and fair and smooth. TED WILSON His eyes twinkled, in his heed aright, As doon the sterres in the frosty night. STANLEY OSTROWSKI He’s small, ’tis true, But he always gets through.

fle History of the Sophomore Class (hi the first oi September, nineteen hundred and eighteen, fifty-five pupils registered in the W hiting High School as “Freshmen.” At first we had heart failure every time the bell rang because we could not remember to what class we were next to go or in what room that class lecited. But gradually we learned the daily routine and soon felt as important as Seniors or even Sophomores. hen the first class meeting was called, a noisy mob gathered in the Science room. Herbert Cluck was elected president, Lambert Ncdjl, vice president, and Irene right, secretary-treasurer. Mr. I ranklin, the Science teacher, was chosen class adviser. We Freshmen, who thought that money was coming into our treasury too last, decided, after several meetings, to enter the social whirl by giving a dance. On account of our bashfulness, however, we waited until the last week of school and so the dance could not be given. W e then decided to keep our money until the new term opened. I he following year, as Sophomores, we returned to the W. H. S. with better class spirit. Although nine of our class had decided that life outside of school was more attractive, we still had fifty-five, owing to nine transfers Irom Robertsdale. At our first class meeting, we elected Vineta Swango, president, and Ralph Andrus, vice president, while Irene Wright was again made secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gray.was chosen class adviser. At our next gathering we discussed the possibilities of giving a party but decided to wait until we had more in our treasury. ! he high school athletic records show that our class has a good representation through Harley Hoskins in the first team, and James Duggan, Lambert Nedjl, and Francis Kirn in the second team. We are proud to have so many wearers of the “W among our classmates. Carl Etter, our peppy yell leader, is also a member of the Sophomore class. The “Twenty-Two’s” were again brought into prominence by having Lambert Xedjl and Ruth Masterson in the Oratorical contest, both winning silver medals. W e feel sure that there are excellent chances for our class to keep its prominence both in athletics and oratory through the work of these people. There is also much hidden-talent., which will be developed by the Junior Play and the other enterprises of the third year, toward.w.h.ich we look with earnest expectation and the determination to succeed. —Kathleen McCoy.
