JUNIOR JOURNAL I will endeavor to tell all I can about our past three years in high school. We entered this institution three years ago as the first Freshman class of our new high school. Our total number was twenty-one, most of us coming from the country where we had spent the first eight years of our school life, toiling and striving onward toward this our goal. We were regarded by the higher classes as being green, and not sociable enough to attend any of the school en- tertainments. In this way we were often plagued and looked down upon. With Mr. Raymo as our teacher and principal we progressed rapidly. In June we attended the Sophomore “hop.” This was the first time we had a chance to attend any school gathering and by closely observing the refined actions of the Juniors and Seniors we were well aware of the fact of knowing how to act. When we left the school house the 11th of June, we were indeed a happy class, for every one had received a certificate of promotion to the tenth grade.

Walter Schmidt was our athletic star, Bill Raucholz made a good forward, while Francis Richards and Noble Smith made fine guards.

Henry Wardin and Dale Turner played forwards in our second team, while Harry Beamish, another lad of our class, acted as secretary of the Ath- letic Association. Nothing very important happened until January, when we held our second annual Sophomore “hop.” By this being a howling success we proved to the Juniors and Seniors that the little “green Freshmen” were rapidly becoming society people. Soon June was at hand and our class again held the honor of pass- ing the exams, successfully. September found us busy again at work as Juniors, Mr. Raymo still our superintendent and Miss Austin as language teacher; we
