Junior Class Jbistovp Our class began its career, in this school, in the fall of 1909. Although our ranks have been thinned considerably since that time, there still remains a goodly number who are pressing towards the goal-graduation. We may not be able to tell in our history of any great things done by the members of our class, but there are a number of qualities which other classes might do well to note; such as the stick-to-it-iveness and good business qualities of a Cowherd—who is by no means a “coward. the literary powers of a Shaw, the all-round good common sense of a Cole, the artistic eye of a Marple. the good humor and good-heartedness of an Elliott, the mathematical mind of a Redinger, the musical talent of a Phillips, the tranquility of a Gough, the dignity of a Ford, the frank expression of a Payne, and so on to the end of the list. For further evidence of our abilities let us modestly recommend to you this little book, over which we have labored tirelessly Can you say that our efforts have been in vain? While we were Freshmen and Sophomores we were snubbed and scarcely spoken to by the other classes, but now, when we are Juniors, the Freshmen feel honored, as they should, in being allowed the privilege of sitting in chapel with us. Our good qualities are beginning to be recognized. Even the faculty, while they keep a rather cold, critical eye upon us, are beginning to see that we have done and are doing something. We may have at present a rough unpolished exterior. but beneath the surface there lie at least a few diamonds, pure and clear, which sometime in the near future will shine in all their brilliancy and be of priceless value to the world. To-day we are Juniors; when another year has rolled around, our High School days will have ended. May we make the most of our last year in High School, forgetting the unpleasant things and the mistakes we have made; remembering only the helpful lessons learned. th pleasant associaticns and the kind admonitions and good intentions of the teachers of our beloved G.
