ANTLER HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS RESHIES”—it seems impossible to picture ourselves as such now. Although A it is three years ago since we entered Minnehaha Academy as Freshmen, it seems so short a time. 'File sentiment of all the Juniors is found in the well known phrase, “Time is not a bird, but it surely has wings”. As we shyly entered the open doors and walked up the steps the first thing we noticed were the words “Welcome to Minnehaha Academy”. It seemed as if it were put up there for our benefit, for we needed a welcome then. Many were leaving home for the first time, but with such a welcome it made us all feel that we too would soon be part of the school. Nevertheless we felt a little shy, but after looking into the smiling face of our adviser. Miss Anderson, all traces of this disappeared. When as “Freshies” we entered Minnehaha Academy we were sixty-five strong. Soon after our arrival we were entertained by the students who had been there before at the boys’ and girls get-together. We here had a good chance to get acquainted. This year we learned that in our fellow classmates we had staunch and true friends. We floundered through our first year of mathematics and, Latin, and came out most admirably at the end. Soon this school-year ended—much sooner than we expected—and we were ready to leave Minnehaha Academy as sophomores. The following September found forty-seven of the former “Freshies back at school again as Sophomores. We felt different than we had the first year. We now felt as though we owned and were part of the school. This year we had a part in entertaining the new students at the boys’ and girls’ get-together. Our English Class was so large that it had to be divided into two sections. Therefore when we studied journalism we had to publish both the December and the February editions of the “Quiver”. We were inexperienced in this but we made a success of both issues. Some of the members of the Sophomore Class were also put on the regular “Quiver” staff. We now had the opportunity of watching over the “Freshies . We remembered how we felt when we were Freshmen so we tried in every way to make them feel that they were wanted and welcome at Minnehaha Academy. We took an active part in the various student activities, including debating, athletics, journalism, and several branches of Christian service. Still another year passed and we finally became Juniors. At the present time we have only thirty-nine members in our Junior Class due to the fact that a number of our classmates have entered other departments. This year we have gone in with the Seniors and the Bible Institute in publishing an “Antler . We enjoy this work very much and feel that this “Antler will be one of the best ever published. Quite a number of our group are on the “Antler” Staff. We find that our time is well taken up by the many activities such as literary societies, the glee clubs, the school chorus, journalism, athletics, and debating. This of course does not exclude our studies. Many of us have experienced more than once what it means to sit up and burn the “midnight oil —especially around examination time. At the time of this writing there is talk going on among the Juniors about the Junior-Senior Banquet. We know that this will be a success as have other things which our class has attempted to do. There is just one more year left to us to attend Minnehaha Academy. We are sure that we will enjoy this year more than any other and we hope that we may be one of the best classes that have graduated from Minnehaha Academy. During the three years we have spent at Minnehaha Academy we have tried to show our love to our school in both word and deed, and our aim in the future is to prove loyal and faithful to this our Christian school.
