At one of these we entertained our parents. We show.nl them what lirilliant ehildren they had. Iiy the different |K rfnrin-anecs that we nave. We even had a class prophecy which was read at this party. ()iir Frcsltio officers were: Rill Souther. president: Herbert Me 'olhini. vice- president; and Kthel Hen. secretary and treasurer. We inntoivd to Wei ill's Hill to the home of one of our classmates, where we enjoyed our first high school picnic. For curiosity’s sake we visited the fortune teller hut no one seemed t.i have Ins curiosity salisfird when we left, liecaiiso we didn’t get our fortunes told. We Sophies were somewhat more brave than we were as Freshmen. We organized our class the last ofSoptemlRT. Ourofficers were: l.ola Foulk. president; lilanehe Shirley. vice-president; l.loyd Itainc.v. sccrc-tary and treasurer. We shocked our upjier classmates as well as our lower classmates l»y having five parties. We even slaved up late one night los.'e the year of I PIG come in. The Freshmen even had enough generosity to entertain U'. a thing uluiosl unheard of. Wc had a good lime at the Freshie-Soph reception and the eats and color schemes were carried out splendidly. At last we have reached our long lookcd-for Junior year of good times. We organized the first week of school and found out that some of our former classmates had deserted us, some going into the Senior class and some slaying with the Sophomores. Nevertheless we elected our officers as follows; Richard Meads. presi-dent; Nancy Rain, vice-president; and I’eurl Frier, secretary and treasurer We still held our much-beloved colors of purple and while as well as our eln advisor. Miss l-’lsie Smith. At a “taekv party”, we paid our debt to last year's Frediies. A saying miirli lieanl among the Sophs after the parly wiis Didn't you have I Its- sw'ellcst time? In Ortolwr we surprised ourselves bv having three parlies, or two parties and an affair seldom heard of a living done by “Juniors . We bad a party at [’earl Frier's, at which we played our well known game of Virginia Reel . The next week we had another party at Loin Poulk’s. On Hallowe'en wc went on an o'possiim hunt . What do you think of that? It was a very suitable affair for Hallowe'en, and the outcome of it surprised us as well as the rest of the high school for we rauglil an o‘|missiiiii. We Juniors rested awhile and came out in full force at a New Year's party at Loin Foulk's. We bail a real good time anil as the clock struck twelve and the whistles blew and the liclls began to ring, wc were enjoying the lies I part of the evening in eating the delightful refreshments. Since the New Year wo have been enjoying ourselves at skating and movie parlies, until the Junior-Senior Reception. The Junior-Senior Reception was given March 17. In iiiiiiiImt this was tin- largest reception ever held at high school. It was also remarkable in the fuel that there were almost twite as many I toys as girls present. As a whole the Junior-Senior Reception was pronounced by all a great success.
