a I V W- JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY --------------------------------- Ah. the class of 1921 is asked to speak! Perchanc.i a brief history of the class will sort o' prepare you for what the class of ’21 is and will be. You know that cur first high school year began Sept. 15. 1917. Later in the year we had one of those strictly formal affaiis which is known as a class election and meeting. This me. ting was held under the able guidance of Mr. Savage, who was to be from then cn our class teacher. While there some of us L: anted some of Parliamentary Law. Thus a new republic was formed under a beautiful banner (f Illue and White. That year this republic gave their first stall affair which was a dancing pa.ty, and in cur estimation there never was quite ruch a party before. To ray the least if was a wonderful success. W 3 had some good times that year but best of all was when wc went on our picnic. The high school a3 a whole wont to Juniper the last Saturday of the school year and had a gcod time climbing the dunes and doing many other things. These picnics were a farow. II party to the teachers and the school year. Mrs. Charles Noret was selected as the chaperone of our class. September came before it was time as it usually dees to the average school kid, but we came back like olxedicnt children, but instead of being lowly Freshmen wc were Sophs. We again had a clns; meeting and the election returns were as follows: President, Mavoric Farmer; Vice President, Hazel Weeks; Treasurer. Bill Baler; Secre-atlicr unique party, for we served pop-corn balls and they w. re good. This was our year for doing things, for besid. s our wonderful parties wc gave our succc.-sful play, FOR THE OLD FLAG.” You all remember it for it was the kind of a play that can’t be forgotten verj easily. Soon it was time to go to the second annual picnic. A volume cculd be written on these picnics. There was excitement and strangeness of getting up early for wc always started about 6:00 o’clock. Then was the trip and the coming off cf the wagon wheel while we were going down Davis' hill. Ah, yes, lest I forget, may I say that some of our lucky classmates wer.o selected to serve at the Junlcr-Scnlor Banquet, which wns come honor we claimed. School was out onco more for a short three months and then wo were Juniors, the class cf many possibilities and no faults, of course. Our Class held its first meeting ar.d again .elected the officers fer the clas. Thi3 year we were more particular than ever, for look!We had a Junior Reception to give and a banquet which must be h tter than any other so far. Our President, Henrietta Jorrisren, headed the list cf officers and we w. rc veiy preud of her for she had great executive ability. Then came a new member of the class, Jim Levere. lie hailed from Mears where Oceana’s great, st little paper hails. Jim was made Vice President. Then B. Melbourne Barton wa3 honored, for lie was made cu.-t.ea. urcr. Cur Secretary is a genuine Hart girl. Hazel Weeks. Wo again came to the front with another nice party. In fact a rather unique pa.ly. for we terved pop-corn halls and they were good, t jo. Plcaoe don’t, think that we arc the only ones that give parties, far from it. but you know class spirit says that ours are best, though w.; thank the ether classes and also'the faculty for their very nice parties. Time rolls on and soon we'll all he Seniors. Before that time we give cur Junior Hep and the Banquet. On the evening cf May 14. we gave the Class of 1920, our Seniors, the people of the hour, the banquet and hep combined. Here is another place where volumes could be written, but time Is scarce and a short description must suffic.?. Tho Banquet Hall was dccotntcd in purple and gold and it was there that the wonderful cats were served by members of the Sopho-i rnre Class. After the cats” we had a short program which was fine. Then we adjourned to the Ball Room which was beautifully decorated in green and white. Soon we shall have our annual picnic. We shall adjourn again for a short time and then we shall come hack to school, but not as Juniors, as Seniors, and then Watch us go! ! Clarence Riddell. Page twenty-four

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ap m A cool breeze was gently blowing as the II. S. caravan prepared for Its nine months journey, September 1, 1918, across the great Desert of Knowledge. The caravan with Emir-el-hadschs, or leaders. Sherman and Savage, was divided into four groups, each under supervision of a minor Emlr-el-hadsch. The first group bore a gay purple and gold pennant, upon which was the name “Senior, the second one. a green and white pennant with the name “Junior, the third, a blue pennant which bore in white letters the name “Sophomore, while the fourth carried a pennant of purple and white, with the nanxe Freshmen” in bold letters. It was a commemorable sight as an eager crowd of studious young persons found their respective places in th.- caravan. With wondering eyes and open mouths a group of forty-one cameleers climbed to their places on their favorite dromedaries of the Freshman group, some choosing the Latin, others History, and still others Biology. With Hmir-el-hadsch Congleton as lender of the last group they started on their long desert Journey. The Caravan mov.cd slowly but steadily for the work was hard each camel must be kept in straight line. This was the task of each rider, to keep his animal on the straight path. But the journey was not all work. With as great success as their old r companions the Freshmen cameleers gave a much enjoyed oasis party, winning praise from the more experienced. As bravely as did the Senior cameleers, the Freshmen withstood the scorching sun of discouragement, passed terrific sand storms of difficulties, and evaded any drought of A's until covering the last few miles with success they reached the large and beautiful oasis of promotion. The journey was over. Here the caravan rested for three short months and prepared for its second trip. September 1, 1920. Emir-el-hadschs Blanchard and Spitlcr took command of the procession while Emlr-el-hadsch McCauley, the little crowd of Sophomores. now reduced to thirty-six. onto their ships of the desert. Sonv? preferred to ride and drive the Goometery dromedaries, while others chose the Caesar, still others the Geography, the remaining according to their Individual tastes. The Sophomore banner was changed to the color of this group, purple and white, and the caravan started its second journey. With the experience of learning of the previous year most of the Sophmores overcame the difficulties of the desert. The casls patties relieved the monotony of the trip and, when semi-completed, a terrific sand-storm began to blow. The camels by instinct kn dt to the ground and Kmir-el-hadsch commanded all to hide their faces In the long hair of their animals. Tho sandstorm of demerits was upon them. Few escaped them. The following day the Journey was rerum d. Arriving at the second casis of the promotion, the caravan halted for another three months rest. The Sophomores, by diligence and patience w«re new Juniors. Here they are resting for the third journey, when they enter the Junior group and Journey on to the third and fourth cases of promotion. D. P. D. Page twenty-six
