Junior (Hass H ' fistor? T was a momentous day in the history of Clearwater High School when the Fresh- man Class of 1913 filed thru its doors. Bravely they found the way to their room ; earn- estly did they try to hide their trembling lips and shaking hands and steady their quaking knees. Once over their fright they set to work with a will to do their part for the honor of Old C. H. S. Like all other Freshmen they felt their importance and the haughty glances of the other classes dampened their spirits not a bit. Between their lessons they found many things to have fun over and, to the utter despair of Miss Peele, who had charge of the room, continued thruout the year to keep up the usual bad reputation of the Freshman Class. With the Sophomore year they settled down to work and gazed with haughty contempt on “that Freshman Class.” Most of them struggled under the heavy burden of Caesar and, alas, if it had not been for Miss Peele’s untiring effort “and other things,” I fear the class would have given up in despair. That year they entered more into ath- letics and, being one of the largest classes, became one of the foremost. A number of the boys and girls held first places in athletic and literary ac- tivities; a large part of the representatives to the Leesburg meet came from that Sophomore Class and they did their share in carrying off honors there. The editor of the school paper and the tennis champion of the school came from the Class of ’17. But it is in their present Junior year that they are accomplishing the most. With two full years of development behind them they are now claim- ing their rightful places. Some of the best stu- dents are in the Junior Class and well they keep apace with even the Seniors. In athletics they hold first place and more than keep up their old reputation. The editor of the Annual is a Junior and other members of the Staff belong to the class. Both declaimers in the West Coast Meet and many other representatives were Juniors. Though the history of this unusual class is not complete there is every prospect for a happy and successful future. They hope in the year to come to do more for Old C. H. S. and to make the Class of 1917 a credit to the school from which it came. —DOROTHY WYNKOOP, ’17.
