entire school, hy giving it our loyal support in athletics of every kind. On our football field there were Juniors, so also did they appear in basketball, and you surely did not fail to notice our strong representation in track. Many victories have been ours in every plane, but may we not thank our class advisers one and all, from Miss Kirk, the advisor who not only councelled but was a Freshman with us, to the faithful Mr. Boyer, of today? They have not only lead the way to our successes but have taught us how to receive our defeats, for of course, there were some. Let us recognize, however, the admirable example set by the Seniors (ahem!) and inform them of the extreme grief caused by our parting. e are ready and capable of taking their places, of surpassing them in honors and of giggling in the alcove to our hearts content. W e have assembled from far and near, have gone through hardships together and now we can testify that never anywhere can be found a jollier “hale fellow well met group than the Class of'22. —IRIS DUSK IN, 9 22 M 21

HISTORY OF CLASS OF Yes, you may think we have advanced a notch over those crude, green Freshies of 1918, hut in fact and reality it is two—for you see we now are Juniors. To us, in those dear Freshmen days when we entered the austere gray stone structure known to the Arlington public as the High School, no wiser a class ever entered. But, as you may imagine, our self-confidence slipped a little when the upper classes announced the annual Freshman mixer, and from then on met us each morning with threats as to the coming event. Their stories grew heyond all hounds and if it had not been for the threats opposing we home bodies, some of us might have been minus when it came time to rope and blindfold us. Despite this little initiation we soon gathered nerve enough to swee tly and unselfishly entertain ourselves. With a regretful glance we started on our summer vacations only to find ourselves, in no time, back again at High. This time, from the high and mighty position of Sophomores, who scornfully laughed at and abused in gen- eral, principally by ignoring, the 'Children of '19.” TKc poor dears were terribly oppressed and were, of course, more inferior in the spirit in which they accepted the Mixture than were their preceding examples of brilliancy. They sometimes hardly treated us with due respect, but when we con- sidered the wonderful time they showed us one evening we decided to over- look this minor incivility. They were, we concluded, after our trivial preju- dice began to subside, quite sociable, so under the guidance of Miss Wood, we planned an outdoor picnic for the lower class. Since this is Washington, we were forced to hold our picnic indoors, but nevertheless had an enjoyable afternoon. Aside from a few jokes our superior classes found time to bestow upon us, the notes we caused to circulate and the candy and gum we saw disappear, our progress was scarcely impeded during this secsnd year at High School, consequently it slipped rapidly by and let us off at the next station, which T • « was Junior. This year we are in the height of our ecstacy, being given almost as much consederation as the Seniors themselves. Of course, there are no com- mencement exercises or class plays for us now but the prospects don t look so bad and we were duly selected for the reorganization of this, the school An- nual.

 TO THE JUNIORS 00 Here s to the Juniors, one and all, A class of valor; they 11 never fall: Entered as Freshmen, strong in the race; Became good Sophomores, with many a grace. Heres to the Juniors, a clique of the best. In athletics they outclass the rest; Their motto they chose for the good of the frat; Be sharp, he natural, hut never he flat. Here' s to the Juniors, with hearts so true. Strong as can he, tho only a few; The dearest pennant they highly hold. In striking colors-maroon and gold. Heres to the Juniors of Twenty-One, Excellent students hut full of fun; Loyal to class, to school and to nation. Soon to he Seniors—then graduation. VINCENT E.
