The Blue and Gold - 1917 yearbook cover for Linden Lake High School
Scanned text:
THE BLUE AND GOLD, '17 mels. In the same row sits Helen, another one of our most studious classmates. I think we will also find Cecil in the same row. Her favorite occupation, or at least it was once. was borrowing pencils from Charles. With Cecil you usually will find Leone. Veronica and Katherine. Leone likes playing tennis much more than receiving notes. as she formerly did from a certain fair-haired, blue-eyed Freshman. Veronica seems to have passed over Caesar's bridge very successfully. We wonder how many pairs of shoes Katherine buys a year? In front of Katherine we have Mercedes. Doesn't she love to tease and torment the girls though. We also have a member of our class living on Tunnel St. That is Bernice, though only for a short time has she lived on that venerable street. Did you ever notice the speed limit which she takes when coming into the assembly room? If not, do so in the future. Mentioning Bernice, it brings to our minds her favorite friend, Anna. who was one of the contestants in the preliminary declamation contest. In her, you will find another girl who possesses sweet disposition. Then comes Marion. who is very fond of giggling. In front of Marion sits Mable. who is very talented in painting and drawing. She especially loves to dissect frogs. We also have Beatrice with us. though we have had her only since the beginning of this year. She certainly receives plenty of exercise each day, for just consider the walk she has. Across from Beatrice, we have Fred. another famous declaimer. Mentioning Fred, it brings Howard, better known as "Howdy." to our minds. He is another good natured fellow. Then there are Clarence and Nelson, both seem to be very quiet. Well, we almost forgot Marie. that dark-eyed little maiden, who is so fond of writing notes to Florence. Not very long ago we possessed an esteemed member by the name of James Riddle, but having an over dose of spring fever, he retired from school life. One thing James always had was candy, which made him so popular with the girls. Now readers, I judge that you have acquired a thoroughly complete description of the Sophomore class. Does it not coincide with your ideas of what a typical high school class should be? The Sophomores' class is not dead as sonic seem to think it is. Of course, we have not done anything in particular to attract attention, though we did put forth two good declaimers. What has any Sophomore class in our own high school ever done to attract attention? As to the history of our class there is not very much to be said, hut there are a few points at least worth mentioning. At the beginning of our Freshman year we were royally entertained by the Sophomores, who are the juniors at the present time, at a picnic at the Incline. Various games took place, after which refreshments were served. We did not, however, elect a president, vice-president, secretary or treasurer as we should have done. Several of us took part in the declamatory contest. At the beginning of our second year we did organize our class. and elect the officers and also fixed an amount for monthly dues. We also gave the Freshman their picnic, or rather initiation. As the weather was bad, we were prevented from holding it out of doors so we necessarily held it in the school house. It turned out to be successful. We intended giving a play this year but, as you see, we did not. Whose fault it was I am sure we do not know. That is about all that our history contains, so far hut we hope that by the time we graduate our class will have a vivid and entertaining history. "THE WATCHWORDS" Stop now. and think what this war means to all, Think of the ones that will heed the call. Think of the ones dear from home that will go, if only there are enough at the hoe. Look now and turn to the left and the right, See who have left their sad homes, once so bright. Bring to them cheer who are weary and sad. By helping your country show you are glad. Listen to everything people may say, Show them you are not made out of clay. By doing, whatever you do, your best. Hear, for your country calls you to the test.
