Se Oh Int SSS JINTORS ESE Ixaye dP the usual changes that come with fall, on September 15, 1923, there came a significant variation into the school life of this, the Junior class. We are not forgetful of the facts concerning similar experiences of other classes. Ours was not the only group to emerge from the peaceful stage of gram- ' t | ! ! i { i ' J mar school setting to more active surroundings. However, it can be truly said ' that no class ever entered the high school department with more ardent anticipa- { tion, nor was ever a class more keenly disappointed. We had dreamed of the ‘ new field as a kind of Utopian garden where indulgent pedagogues served educa- ' tion as refreshments. Time, the great leveler of all things, soon proved the fallacy of that dreamy ‘ mood in which we passed out of the seventh grade. The first descent in the i thermometer of our fond hopes came when fate found us in the hands of Mr. Childs, Mr. Oakes, Miss Crowder and Miss Fauntleroy. We spent the first few i months of that session getting acquainted with new conditions. Since that time we have done nothing but work. Some of our labors are of playful nature, however, and we take great pride in mentioning the athletic celebrities of the class. Among those who won their 1925 football monograms are Osbey and Wilbur Mattox, Worthington Palmer, and Samuel Morris. In baseball the Mattox brothers and Herbert Smith were our representatives. Effie Baker, Josephine Cundiff, Ruth Meachum and Hat- tie Witt make up our contribution to the girls’ basketball team. We are staunch supporters of the oft used Latin phrase: ‘“‘Mens sana in corpore sano.” With fear and trembling toward the Seniors we must venture the assertion that not all of the school’s intelligence will flow out with the exodus of that august body. We boast of pupils whose names have appeared on the honor roll every month it has been printed since we began high school. Junior test and examination papers grace the display boards in every department.

We began with thirty-three names on roll and that same number now composes our roster. i Junior voices are heard in the chorus and one year hence Junior voices will i be heard as—Seniors. 4 ALICE BURNETTE, i RutH ME AcHUM, i KYLE YEATTS, tt Historians. i | PAGE THIRTY LEFF FEF EE A) eT ( ec OO
