.IJituior (Tlas5 History The fall of 1910 saw the entrance of the most promising Freshman class that ever entered the Grand Junction I ligh School. Thev might have been as green as the average class but no greener. When it came time to go up to Room One there were pale faces, weak knees and a few other afflictions noticeable hut the Freshmen were at last all assembled and ready to hear the time honored song “How Green I hey Arc.” I he ordeal in the Assembly was soon over and then came the assignment of classes. When the Latin students got their hooks, puzzled indeed were they. Porta portae portae, etc., were more than thev were used to. Algebra was not quite so bad, Fnglish was still better and History was mild compared to the rest. The results of that written above was shown in the work down in the Sophomore year. We were not quite so strong in numbers as the year before but we made that up in hard work. The law of the survival of the fittest had weeded out the poorer ones and though we might not have been as Studious a class as we could have been, there were no total flunks in the class. On February 16 was held the annual affair which has caused rivalry between the two factions of the class for eleven years. The question was stated this year as “Resolved that Sparta was as Great as Athens.” Rus- scl Coles, Edith (dassford and Edward Wilson battled lor Athens while Mary Martin, Will Anderson and Elmer Sargent upheld Sparta’s cause. The judges spent some time in deciding, but finally gave the victory to Athens. Early in April occurred the Spartan-Athenian Banquet. The affair was held at the Y. M. C. A. As was expected the upper classmen appeared about seventy-five strong. The entire building was surrounded so that no Soph, could get in. After nine-thirty the upper class-men departed and it has been said that it was the best class-fight ever had here in the Junction. Nobody was hurt, no property was destroyed and no one was sore. I he Sophomore class was divided into the Spartan Literary Society and the Athenian Literary Society. Meetings were held every two weeks throughout the most of the year. Many victims were put on the program against their wish but they had no choice. Tune arrived, bringing long feared and final exams. It is worthv of mention that during our Sophomore year we left the old High School building, where we had entered as Freshmen, and went to the new High School, which was completed in the middle of the year. I he first of last September we assembled in the division of the seats just opposite of where we sat last year. I here were ten of our hst-vears class-mates who did not come back. Their places were partly filled by the addition of some new faces. Manv have left us during the year but a large class still remains. The literary was held with the Seniors this year, making it more interesting than it was last year wher we had just a few to pick from. —Bonne field Aupperle.
