As Freshman, a large class of sixty-five, you were ever'k1nd, stu- dious and obedient, and few were the times I had to correct any of you, now you are a class of twenty- mueh smaller than your class of the previous year- but your work has been excellent, and you do indeed deserve my praise. And now, as I am about to de- part from your midst, I hope you will remember only the most pleasant things I have said to you and for- get the. cross words. Sometimes I seemed to be angry with you when I was not: many times the other classes oEended me, and as a result I acted in such a way that you supposed you were the oienders. But if I ever seemed too cross to any of you, I hope you have forgiven me. And now I trust that your Junior days will he crowned with the greatest success: and always remember, my dear boys and girls, that if you do your best, as you have ever done. your efforts will be re- warded. ' ' Such were the words spoken to us by our kind Pro- fessor Melchcr at the close of our dar old Sophomore days. When again, on Sept. 2nd, the b-ell would sum- mon the students to the High School room, We would be known as the Jolly Juniors. . - ' As the old school bell ' sent 'Qforth its merry peals on that first morning of September,-it seemed to say to us, Come to School! Come to School, and we could not resist th-e temptation. We are com- ing, we are coming, our thoughts seemed to echo in refrain, and here we came to take up our Junior ca- reer. But alas! Had some :failed to hear the sum- mons? We cannot say. To our sad disappointment we saw at a glance that several of our former classmates were not among the great throng in that belovrd High School building, but we knew that wherever th.y were, they were casting sunshine upon clouded faces, be- cause they had bcen menil-'rrs of THE class-th class of 1909. Although grieved because we had been dc- prived of some of our members, our sad hearts W re cheeered when we learned that Lillie would in the fu- ture be enrolled in our ranks, and again, when, within a week, Joe, a happy, lively youth, came from the Territory just to be a member of the Jolly Junior class. Many happy days Hew too quickly by and soon it was just one week before the first quarterly examina- tion. Another troulle, was then added to our class, for Iva, our dearly beloved President, left ,us-for-evcr. and was soon united to another, Qof whom she is much fondenthan of her class.j But Time can heal the deep.st wounds. and, ere long, we, only sixteen in number, ceased to feel the loss that had come to us. We are a very intelligent class but at the same time are noted for our gayness and liveliness. Some of our teachers dar. to compare us to the kindergarten people, but we only laugh them to scorn, thinking that they are not able to see the humorous s'de oi' life. Occasionally Professor McPherson calls one of our niemb.rs to his ofdce on private business. 'Wt consider this a compliment, indeed, and say to oursflves: 'iPoor Mr. McPherson has probably leur -cd midnight oil grading our papers, ard is tired this morning. He wants a Junior to cheer him and put a smile upon his face. 'Sometimes a lady teacher says to ore of' us: You niay leave the room. Again we fe l vrry much honored and say to ourselves, Isn't she good? She knows that person is tired and pro ably has the headache, so she has asked him to leave the room in order that he may g.t some fresh air, and become re- vivcd. Thus it is that all the teachers arc fond of us in spite of our fun-loving-disposition. Some members of our class are especially talented. lt is indeed a pleasure to hear Blanche or Lillie er- prcss so much feeling on the piano, to listen to Joe 's lmzuztiful tenor, or to hear Cressy recite so Wonder- fully. Ilut the entire school hardly knew what we as a class could do, until our Junior Carnival, when our real worth was made known. But it is needless to enter into a lengthy discussion of that entertainment, since all who were present realized what a great suc- cess it was. One of the liveliest eventn of our Junior life was our Leap Year party, given on January 3rd, when all our powers for having fun were exerted. Now if the Junior and Senior boys never marry, they cannot say they never had a chance, for opportunity after oppor- tunity was given them. It was at this party that Miss Cressy Scott received a beautiful diamond ring for having been acc.pted eleven times, and a pair of mittens divided between Misses Lilly Marshall and Edith Briscoe for having been refused six times. Our work in our different classes has indeed been a success, and we f.cl that we have done our duty in spitepof the fun we have had, and should anyone doubt this statement, we refer him to our teachers, and they will be fully convinced that this statement is true. Now as we are alout to say good-bye, we think that as Seniors we will be even greater than as Jun- iors, and will add much praise to the Greenfield High School. Trusting, dear readers, that you will not think we have been boasting, we, the 'fsweet sixteen, bid you farewrll.
