JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY ln the year 1919-September, you see, Our class entered High School so happy and free To our class mates and teachers we never appeared So green nor so giddy as we had all feared. For the year the new building was opened to us And each of the students was making a fuss, The Seniors, the Juniors, the Sophomores, and all Were in the same trouble-lost in the hall, Hunting for class rooms, and getting in wrong, And jumping in terror at every new gong, But soon we were all settled down to our task, And the Juniors and Freshmen, a friendship had cast. 7 Our Freshman Class meet was quite an event. An election of officers, our minds were all bent As advisor or sponsor, Miss Walthour we chose And she proved her ability, everyone knows. Dick Fletcher, for President. we then elected And though I'll not mention all, none was neglected. The second semester Bill Reed filled his place And he as well as Dick suited this space. Our Freshmen Frolic, the event of the year Was held in the Gym and decorated-Oh Dear! Everyone was present and dressed in his best That's why our party was such a success. The following year, back to school we all came But as Sophomores now, we must take a new name. We felt our importance too, you all know As we stood off and watched those poor freshies grow Again we held an important class meet The conduct of which, just couldntt be beat. The decision announced was, Miss Walthour advisorf' It seemed to us all, that it would be far wiser To have her again than elect some one new, When she was so line, and, less trouble too. Bill Reed, too, had made such a wonderful hit That for President everyone voted him Hit. To open the season of social affairs We gave a ghost party and each one declares- That it must have been planned by the goblins themselves Or by some one, at least quite as clever as elves. We had a line class they will all admit And the way we ran high school, they all had a lit.

Now we are Juniors, the best class in school We set great examples and follow each rule. Our tasks and our burdens, full well do we know, But the cares of the 'LFreshies,'-they puzzle us so. Miss Smith, as our sponsor, this year we all chose Whose ideas come with each wind that blows. She helps our class far more than I can tell And without her I'm sure, we could not do so well. Our president, 'tSkinny, is firm as a wall, He's the very he-st president of them all. ln the month of January the 23rd day We gave our class party, some party, I'll say. Why everyone present exclaimed in a chorus 4'There wasnlt at thing all the evening to bore us I The Minstrel, the songs, the eats and the jokes, Just seemed to astonish the waiting folks. We Juniors are there in Athletics, too Here 's something l'll het you--you never knew That three of the class made the boy's quintet, But. whats more, four girls to the tournament went. Our Banquet this year is going to be great, So Juniors and Seniors, look out for a mate To accompany you, and enjoy it fine, For Banquets you know are right in our line. Thus, with banquets and parties and school on our brain, How in the world could we ever be sane? I Next year wc'll lie Seniors of '23 And what a future in us you will see, NVe'll achieve something worthy and reach great fame lIere's hoping all classes may do the same. H. M. Mc. '23
