The Spud Junior Notes Pace 26 The Freshman class of 1919 entered the A. H. S. with the same feeling as most of the Freshman. We were enrolled with 60 members hut our numbers made up for the lack of courage. Vie had a class meeting in the assembly (a room willed to the Freshies) and elected Miss Beal sponsor and the following officers: President, W ard Joder; Vice President, Lee Strong; Secretary and Treasur- er, Helen Siedell: Spud Reporter. Edward Morrow. Since the Seniors were our guardian angels we did not make many mistakes. After becoming sufficiently acquainted it was decided we have a masquerade box social in the high school gymnasium. The upper-classmen tried to break it up but since they could not we had a very enjoyable time. After nearly a year’s hard work was over the Freshmen then decided to have a weinee roast out six miles from town. We toasted our supper, fingers, and faces, then played games until a late hour. Finally our Freshman year ended and we passed on as dignified Sophomores. We entered the Sophomore year with some new members and some old ones missing. This year our class officers were as follows: President Elsie Gillis; Vice President, Vera Smith; Secretary and Treasurer, Mariellen Beagle; Athletic Reporter, Cecil Beal; Spud Reporter, Oral Edwards. We held a party in the “Gym which was counted as one of the good times of the A. H. S. We spent a very happy year on the south side of the assembly. Our last Sophomore party was held in company with the Freshmen where numbers made us have a very good time This year we took up the responsibilities as Juniors with the smallest class in High school only 25. Being small in numbers we had to work all the harder to keep even with the other classes. Wre chose the play “Patty Makes Things Hum” and gave it April 15 at the Imperial theater. W e succeeded in getting enough money from our play to give the Seniors a banquet and will do our best to make as good a success of it as the play but we will let the Seniors judge us as they are our 66 • 9 superiors. Mr. Prince, impressively—“The money must go through Mr. Pate’s office first.” Excited student—“I’ll carry it through.” Mrs. Frank C. P.—“I saved the money to buy this dress, darling.” Mr. F. C. P.—“How did you do it, precious?” Mrs. F. C. P.—“Why I bought it with the money you gave me to pay the grocery bill and charged the grocery bill.” Chas. C.—“Would you like to hear me sing ‘All Through the Lovely Night’?” Katy H.—“No thanks. All callers leave at midnight.” « ft • “W hat makes history so hard. Miss White?” “Why, you see, first there was the stone age, then the bronze, then the iron and now' there’s the hard-boiled.” Mrs. Dotson—“Clement, don’t you know I told you not to play with your soldiers on Sunday?” Doc—“Yes, mamma. But today they’re the Salvation Army.”
