JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When the Junior Class had become firmly settled in their particular sanctuary of the C. H. S., they immediately began “doing things.” They picked up the threads where they were necessarily dropped last year, and made one more lap in the race for fame. The Class of ’17 is bound to make a name for itself. The first thing we did was to attend a Junior-Senior party at Mr. and Mrs. Frank Leslie’s. Here we discovered Mr. Crites’ fondness for narrating funny stories. Soon after this we decided that we would entertain the High School on Hallowe’en. Accordingly plans were made and on Friday, October 22, the students gathered at the High School Building for a good time. It was a decided success as all things are that are done by the Juniors. The weeks flew by and one day we were startled to find that several of our members were needed in the Senior Play, “The Rivals.” This play was decidedly better for their participation and they proved themselves very capable actors. During this time a few of the Juniors were endeavoring to prove to the world their ability to debate. They worked long and faithfully and in the end two were chosen to be on the final team. They did their best but met with better swordsmen and went down to defeat bravely fighting. Early in the second semester, the Juniors decided to have a party all their own, so on February 19, the class gathered in a body at the home of James Hersey. This was a delightful affair and everybody voted it a perfect Junior affair. March 24 was selected as the date for the annual Junior reception to the Senior Class. In this affair the Juniors did themselves ample justice. Excellent taste was shown in all things. Then our class won honors in the Declamatory contest. A number of the Juniors entered track work and have made marks for themselves and brought honors to the class. The Basket Ball Team showed fine work also. As a whole the Junior Class of C. H. S. is composed of the same material it possessed last year. We have only gone on to greater work. We have added another chapter to our history and made a few entries in the High School records that will be permanent. As a whole the prophecy of last year has been fulfilled, and greater things are predicted for next year. M. C. ’17.

I wish my hair was silky white And I had a pretty name And if I lived out north of town I’d get there just the same. And if I were a freshie Then I’d do my very best To show that Senior what is what And time would do the rest If certain parties see this rhyme And they offended be Just tell this mighty Senior then To come around to me. —Bill.
