TI-IE PROGRESSIVE LEMANITES JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Some are dead And some are married, But clear the track For those who tarriedf' Cs ' la, OME folks probably think that Q there will neier be any 1917 graduating class. It is true iU fU that our class, since it orifin, has hail mich sorrow. But could we rightfully be called progressive if We should desrairincfly i e up? No! We must do our duty no matter how small our numbers. In 1913, twelve in number, we en- tered High School as Freshies. Ard, before roing any further, We wish to thank the upper classmen, one and all, for their courteous treat- ment on our behalf. Our coal in View hs always been to be the third graduating class of Fairvie '1 Fish School, Thouch our class h's c'e1re'setl in number from twelve to seven members, yet we hope to march bravely on to V-I-C- T-O-R-Y. Much Sorrow find orief cverwhe'm- ed the Lemanites when two of our most treasured members were called to that Great Beyond to eniov its in- ruwerable Pleasures. Both were girls we all loved dearly. Jean was taken from us about midwinter: and, some months later. after the publica- tion of the Paw Paw for 1915, Cal- antha was called as one of God's beautifrl, sweetest and most perfect Powers. However, death is not the only thing that can deprive a class of its members. When they fall deeply in love, as did two of our fair damsels, Flossie and Grace, then it is time to bid them adieu, for it is not books and knowied ze that laden their young minds but the good looks and win- ning ways of their future mates. Marriage, like all other things is all rib ht in its placeg but as we are now livin g in a commerical age, how much wiser it will be for the other mem- bers of the class to be graduates of Fairview High School! The Ieaman class now has seven meirbersz and, with light hearts, we hone to be the graduating class of 1917. No matter where we go we rhall rlways sing our old song Hail Le1ranites : It's Fairview Juniors, it's Fairview Juniors, Yes. Se'.enteen will be the class To br'nw back hoitors to our old high school. 'Tis f old :nd green that we must back Now is the time, boys, to make a big noise, No matte what the peop'e shout For Seventeen will surely be the class That Fairvieiv High will hoist about. Marie Grefeser, Class Historian.

JUNIOR CLASS EVENTS NE beautiful afternoon last x May we had our first class picnic. Jim procured for us the necessary hay wagon and and, to properly fit them for our purpose, we decorated them with green and gold bunting. After ar- ranging our cooking utensils and bas- kets of edibles in secure positions, we mounted our much decorated convey- ance and were ready to start-not, however, without repeated injunc- tions to Sam not to fall into the egg basket. We had not decided upon any par- ticular location for our outing 3 but after driving for several miles-most of the time rattling along at a break- neck speed-we began to look for a stopping place.. We soon found a spot that appeiled to us all-a green meadow made beautiful with its large oak trees a n d murmuring brook. Here we started our camp fire and spread our supper, and I should like to state right now that there are several girls in our class who as cooks could compete with any French chef. As we lingered at supper, the peace of the evening fell upon us all. The little birds sang their evening songs to us from the tree-tops, happily con- tributing to our enjoyment. horses 3 All too soon the shadows began to lengthen and we prepared to return to our homes. As we drove slowly along in the early spring twilight, we watched the stars come out and de- cided that this was the loveliest time of the day. Soon we reached town and attract- ed much attention as we sang our songs and gave our class yell to let everybody know that the J uniofs had had a good time. One of our happiest meetings was in November, when our president royally entertained us at a dinner party at The Edge. A most elabor- ate dinner was served and as favors, we were given tiny baskets of bon- bons. As we were bidding good-by to our host, we were informed that our good time was not yet over, for Mr. ShurtleH had planned to take us all to the Movies, and of course we were delighted with this ending for our pleasant evening. Our next exploit was a play, which we gave in the High School auditor- ium. It was entitled An Old Planta- tion Night , and our friends who saw Uncle Rastus, Aunt Marthy and the young folks perform pronounced our first play a decided success. Peggy.
