An Enigma: A Riddle
We found the following riddle published in the 1933 issue of "The Sunbeam", the old Hollis High School yearbook. As it seems to have stood the test of time, we have decided to make it a contest for our readers. The prize will be a pair of our engraved BHHS mugs, and the winner will be drawn from the correct entries received by noon on April 16, 2020.

AN ENIGMA
My first is in great, but not in tall
My second, in some but not in all
My third is in dog but not in cat
My fourth, in mouse but not in rate (sic)
My fifth is in easy but not in hard
My sixth, in letter but not in card
My seventh is in river but not in sea
My last is in honey but not in bee
My whole, in something Sophomores like;
Figure it out----and see if I'm right.
