f N THE OPTIMIST Junior History About three years ago, or, to be exact, on August 21, 1921, a group of about sixty illustrous but trembling Freshies, crept as it were to E. H. H. S. for the first time. We were mere children mentally, yet we knew that we had a goal to reach and only by hard work could we attain that goal. As Freshmen, we quite often provoked our teachers to anger, yet through their patience and our hard work, we learned that 8 plus 7 equals 15, and that Scott was a real man and not a slang expression which people use when they say Great Scotty' although, as we learned, he was great too. We were too childish and too absorbed in our new surroundings and lessons for much outside amusement. But by the end of the first year we, like a child, could creep well and were ready to walk. A marvelous change had taken place, when the Class of '25 assem- bled again as Sophs. Our boys almost men-uso dignified. But we walked easily until we became acquainted with the new faculty, then we step- ped a little harder and fell off our dignity. In Athletics, we were represented some, although our time in the Athletic Field was yet to come. Socially, we did better than before. Several parties were held which were enjoyed by all present, but those not present did not enjoy them. . ln the fall of 1923, we came back as Juniors. Oh! the name Juniors. Yet it was true. Brilliance! Sharks! Dignity! Pride! That was us. But we read A haughty spirit goeth before a fall. And how we fell when someone heard a Freshie refer to us a Set of Shrimpsf' Never mind, we were broad-minded tsomething we've been trying to learny and considered the source of that speech. In the Football Team! How we did shine! When our fast Bill and Bob, John and Ralph were on the field, the victory was ours. The foot- ball team would have been handicapped had it not been for whom? Juniors, of course. Socially, again we stepped out. Parties were held and every one was enjoyed. A sled-r'de, we took, and despite the cold we all had a fine time. In Literary, we were there with the goods. Four contestants were Juniors. Come Out of the Kitchen was given two nights and it made people sit up and take notice. Why? VVe do not know, except it was the hard work of the Cast, the co-operation of the Coaches and the loyal support of the Class. We have not forgotten our goal nor despite lamentable tendencies which the teachers have seen in us, we have learned that H20 is water and nothing else supposedly. That you can add, subtract, multiply and divide on a thing called a slide rule. If we always have a Slide Rule near us, we can forget our Multiples-if we want to. Ours has not all been easy sailing. We have fallen often, receiving a bump and have been assisted by the Faculty and have risen again and are soaring day by day on our little wings. Queer, you say, Hto have wings, but we have always been Udifferentu and speedy. As yet our little wings are not strong enough, but next year we will soar up and fly away. Ada Vance--'25 g I
