HISTORY. In a large and spacious room known to the students as the study hall, on a beautiful day in November when the sunshine seemed to make everyone happy, seventy-five soberminded, intelligent looking Sophomores being persons of purpose, met for the purpose of affecting an organization that was destined to be-as now is shown-the greatest in many respects this school has ever known. 'l'his group of l:'tudents can easily be compared to the day on which they met. Every face had an expression of good nature, and seemed to bring sunshine into the room as they entered. They showed their superior intelligence and knowledge of mankind by their election of officers. For President of this notable class, they chose a representative from the prosperous county of Tyler, where he is counted one of the most successful teachers. He is an intelligent, studious, courageous young gentjeman. As the president is so promising a young man, in order to preserve the equilibrium of our class, we selected for Vice President a representative from Wetzel county, whose qualifications are such that he is well fitted for his office. For Secretary we chose one of the finest young ladies at Marshall. She is from Monroe county, which accounts for her many rare accomplishments. For the office of treasurer, we selected a Jittle man from Kanawha county, who shows by his honest face that our vast amount of money will be perfectly safe in his hands. A young lady was elected for reporter. She is rather small and delicate to fill an office that requires so much strength; but she can fill it very easijy for she is gifted in writing poetry, which is second only to that of Tennyson. Her home is in Putnam County. If any one doubt the strength of our class, either individually or collectively, he has but to Jook at the record of the school to find that on the athletic fields we have come out with Jaurels which that wonderful Sertiior class would be 87
proud to wear, and so grand that they would look entirely out of place if the Juniors were to wear them. How eagerly we look forward to the fifth day of June, when we shall call ourselves Juniors, and when we shall receive the privilege of spelling Junior with a capital letter for the coming year at least. Our strength will manifest itself more and more as we near the end of our journey, and on that evening in June, 1909, when the largest class that has ever graduated at Marshall shall be seated on the stage, with the beautiful colors of Old H.ose and Gray floating over us. We fancy that we shall hear the faculty say, "Alas, we'll ne'er see their like again." This interesting story will be continued in the next issue of the year-book, which will be written in the Spring of 1908. HISTOH.IAN. 88
