G ORDON SYLVIA SEPTEMBER - f I As all students, we were happy to become Juniors last al. OCTOBER - Class Rings. We held our first class meeting the first week in October, when Mr. Perkins of Perkin's CO. came with samples of class rings. The class officers chose three rings and then the class voted on the one we should have. Our rings came the latter part of November. There was the usual dissatisfaction shown at first with the rings but by now almost everyone is satisfied with them. NOVEMBER - Election. In November we called a class meeting for the purpose of electing a new secretary as our former secretary had gone away. Maud White was elected to fill that oflice. NOVEMBER - Thanksgiving Ball. Our first class activity was the Thanksgiving ball. This ball was a far greater success than was expected by most of us. Our decorating committee did good work and the Casino was effectively decorated in our High School Colors, orange and black. JUNIOR GIRLS CLUB. A new feature in the life of our Junior Girls this year was the Junior Girl's Club. This Club was skillfully directed by Miss Miller and Miss Joy. Our meetings were held at the Y. W. C. A. One of the most enjoyable good times was a straw-ride to Northeast Harbor to attend a basketball game, which, I might remind you, our boys won. JUNIOR ATHLETICS. We, the class of Nineteen Twenty Four, are proud of the success of many of our members, not only the boys but also the girls in athletics.

g The Islafndergg 21 Last fall, in football, five of the regulars were members of the Junior class. When the letters were given out five men out of fourteen were Juniors. While in basket ball only one fellow was able to make- his letters many others tried and did much to better the team. The girls formed a basket ball team and entered the- Inter-Class League. This enterprise was a great success although we lost to the fine team of the Sophomores. Al-A though our girls failed to win the championship they showed that they had an exceptionally good team. V In baseball the malority of the team are members of the Junior Class. The captain is a Junior and many of his best followers belong to this class. With so many letter men in football and baseball and a fine basketball team of girls we surely are boosting athletics. APRIL - RECEPTION. It has been the custom for many years for the Junior Class to give a Prom. which has usually come the last part of May. The proceeds of the Prtm. is given over toe the Seniors to use in connection with their graduation usually the Senior Ball. This year, for two reasonsg first because the Senior Class has been rather unfortunate in their financial affairs and second because we thought it would be better for both classes and school at large, we decided to disregard to a certain extent, the custom of a Junior Prom. and instead combine the Prom, with the Senior Ball and give a reception to the Seniors. Early in April two committees were appointedg the decorating committee with its chairman Arthur Bucking- ham and the financial committee with Maud White as its Chairman. As soon as the time had been set the financial committee placed their order for the Casino and for the advertising. Later a refreshment committee was elected with Mada- line Davis as chairman. The decorating committee began at once to make plans for the decorating of the hall which, because of the fine decorating of the past was rather a hard task. A color scheme was laid out and other details settled. The chairman was authorized by the class to purchaser the amount of paper asked for by the committee. Because of the graduation on Thursday night it was impossible to start decorating until Friday thus making it necessary for all hands to hustle in order that the hall might be decorated for the wonderful event. The financial committee backed by the class had done' fine work on the sale of tickets. -J . Hom-oN, '24
