ilmttar dUaaa UjiatflrQ The Junior class of the Angola High School counts thirteen in number, and stands as a noble band of workers on the eleventh round of the educational ladder of the High School. Our numbers are composed of pupils who have entered school at various times. There is but one now in class who began in the Primary grade of the town school, for as the class passed along from year to year, members of the orig- inal class dropped out and others came in. From grade to grade this process went on, when on reaching the Fifth grade, four joined our ranks from the Fifth Ward School. When the class entered High School as Freshmen, there was a large class of thirty-four. Many of these were pupils from the country schools, who were not destined to remain with us until we finished. The class was organized this year, and each one enjoyed a general good time at the sleighing parties and social gatherings of the class. After a year ' s hard work in High School we could sa with joy that we were Freshmen no more, but were ready to assume the steamer duties of the Sophomore. The next year found us Sophomores, but of the thirty-four there were only eighteen left. We became more determined to settle down to work, and to accomplish this we were true to our motto, Nothing ventured, nothing gained. ' Sometimes, however, we ventured too far and received instructions from our teachers to be more quiet. This year each class ' gave its respective program, besides the one given each by the boys and girls, and no one could say the Sophomores did not do their part At the end of the second year the class had a picnic at Lake James, where each one had a good time and bade each other adieu for the summer vacation. September 9, 1905, found us again in our seats, not, however, without some speculation, for during the summer a new addition was made to the school house. We also found that three of our number had not come back. During the earlier part of the term we mourned the death of one of our number — Donald Smith. As we now stand, a hopeful band of thirteen, we are certain we can say at the end of this year that we have con- quered and mastered such giants as Geometry and Physics. Next year will find us all Seniors and we hope graduates. Gay Hall. ' 07.
