19 18 1918 THEHEMATITE The Junior Class “Step after step the ladder is ascended.”—Selected. We realized this, when as Freshmen we ascended step by step to the High School auditorium, “seminarium mentium” It took more paper to record the names of the members of our class than it did any previous class. Since the other classes did not deign to notice our great numbers, we resolved to let them know we were there, by taking an active part in all school affairs. We won many interclass games in football, basketball and baseball, but our big victory came when we succeeded in selling the most Red Cross seals, in consideration of which, Mr. Watson granted us an extra party. Our second victory of importance came in April of that year, when we received a banner for having the most contestants on the Declamatory contest. With this prestige we entered upon our Sophomore year. We occupied the coveted Sophomore row and took our place among the “elders” of the school. Two of our members won honors in Declamatory work. Dorothy Miller received second place on the Declamatory contest and George Silberg, the class orator, was sent to Iron Mountain to represent the school there on the Michigan Contest. We added to our steadily growing record and proved our loyalty to the school by selling the most “Hematites.” These honors increased our dignity and spurred us with the resolve to set an ideal class before the school. Accordingly, in our Junior year we bent all our efforts toward winning the Lyceum election. However, we were unable to break the ancient precedent that the Seniors win. Nevertheless, we did prove ourselves good losers. After the election we devoted our energies to dramatic work and on the 24th of November we presented two plays. One of these plays, “Patriotism,” was written by a member of our class. The other was a short skit called the “Mouse Trap.” Due to the excellent work done by our amateur actors and actresses the plays were pronounced as two of the best ever produced by a Junior class. We are drawing near the end of our High School career et we are still striving for honors dear. Not for love of conquest, as it may seem, But that the school may remember the Class of Nineteen.
