Junior Class History High School Life is a stage And all the boys and girls are merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And each one in his time plays many parts, His acts being four (or more) ages. First the Freshmen: “There little Freshie, don’t you cry. You’ll be a Sophomore, by and by. We took the proffered advice to heart and proceeded to find such enjoyment in P reshman problems and jollifications that the upper classmen admitted that there “might be something in those verdant ones, after all.” Of course we furnished them some amusement, but this we did out of pure kindness of heart, for we thought they needed “Gloom Chasers.” Next the Sophomores: Forgetfulness of students! As Sophomores we tormented those Freshies in the very way which the year before we had condemned as “too mean” and vowed never to imitate. However we guess the class of '22 survived. Modesty forbids the announcing of all our achievements but it will suffice to say with Caesar, “Veni, Vidi, Vici,”and when we did not “vici” our lessons, we “vidimus” them all the same. As to Basket Ball, we quote the following (heard on the “long way” home after a game): ...... My! That was a Tid(e)y game. Did you see Birkholm Lay(that)man out? We Preston to victory and won in a rush and a Gale of good playing.” Then the Juniors: Some one said dignity comes with the years, and whoever he was. we agree with him! For with Physics and Advanced Math, parties and Basket Ball Games we kept ourselves (and everyone else) so busy that we have aged preceptibly during the third act of our High School Comedy. But with our added years came a lr.rger sense of duty, a greater determination to play fair, no matter what the issue, Brsket Ball Game or Geometry Proposition, and a more serious conception of the loyalty lue school as of patriotism due country. Our aim is to make Junior Class synonymous with “Winning Class” so; Lively, now, Juniors, let’s go! “Lest we forget” regarding the fourth age of our school drama. Next the Seniors: (We’ll tell you later.)
