- ff 'Q Nfl! aCf1ssNMVf'sRss unior Class Hzktory TRANGE to say, only a very small part of the present junior Class has goneethrough all the grades together. Some of them came, as Frosh from the countryg others from neighboring towns and still others from neighboring states. Altogether the first year there were 77 members of the peppiest class in Douglas High. Eh! what w'uzat, Seniors? After the upper-class men had gotten used to the green! Green looks, green walkes, green blushes and green talks we had by that time become accus- tomed to them and their infinite scorn and did not feel that our life and future happiness depended upon the attitude of the Sophs, or any other thing except ourselves. A class meeting was held and we found to our delight that Miss Thorson and Mrs. Gibson were our class sponsors. Robert f Spot,'j Fenwick was elected president fdarned good prexyj! Catherine Clark, vice president, and Veronica Froggatt, secretary and treasurer. This year was uneventful as most of the Freshmen years are except for a few initiation nights on which, by the way, the Sophs nearly always got the worst of it. fA-hm !j The peppiest class in D. H. S. began their second year with the election of Spot again as president, and Francis Roush, vice president, and Harvey Allen secretary and treasurer. Of course, we gave the Frosh a party and showed what we can do by mak- ing the most original and successful of parties. The Freshmen returned the compliment-good party-thanks a lot, Sophs. fY' see, they're Sophs now: queer, isn't it?J VVe also proved that we'd be good .luniors by winning a ticket selling con- test fthereby enriching ourselves ten dollarsj and a magazine subscription contest-by this we won a trip to the moon -almost. The third year was the fulfillment of the promise shown the two previous years, namely, that we'd make good Juniors. In case of doubt l'll prove this statement by means of enumeration of some of our activities: 1. A school paper. The staff was made up of Juniors, mostly, and say what you please, it was successful. This was largely due to Miss Grantham fthe sponsorl, but we'll take a little of the credit. 2. A very successful play under the direction of Curtis Ellis fa ,most able director, I might addj and of course A Prom which more than merited its name of THE Function of the Year. The plans for it were carried out with the help, sympathy. and all that, of our NFVV president, Francis Qliritzij Roush, who is the junior football and basketball star and he'll be captain of the foot- ball team next year, even so! we wish to say here that Miss Thorson and Mr. Rep. fa new sponsor and a new coachj deserve much credit for worrying with us and putting it over. I'll not mention our going in the hole because we're out now and by our own efforts Cmember the candy sales, kids?j 3. Helen Hylton's winning of first in the State Reading Contest. Maybe you think we weren't proud of her ?-'n' she's the first person to win first in anything from Douglas. VVe've won second two years in vocal. 4. As a whole we wish we could be Juniors f'ever 'n' ever! NVe've had such a wonderful time. And Seniors. we promise to you the Junior-Senior Banquet 'fin full dress 'n' everything.
