FRESHMAN CLASS IV.

22 ORANGE AND BLACK FRESHMAN IV. President—Lena May Herring. Vice-President—Kenneth Otten. Treasurer—Joel Merriman. Editor—Nash Penny. The year for this class after the novelty wore off has been uneventful. The only event of importance was run¬ ning the guantlet where we received our first taste of High School life. This, however, did not give us sufficient warning, for if we had nothing harder than to run the guantlet every day we should not mind it. However, the prospect for a prosperous second } r ear begins to look bright after all; but, although the vacation is near, the end of our work seems a long way off. We hope that a large delegation of us will be sent to the Soph¬ omore Class; but no one is certain of promotion until af¬ ter the finals.

24 ORANGE AND BLACK UNION SCHOOL, EIGHTH GRADE, ROOM 1. MRS. I. T. ST. AMAND, TEACHER. CLASS OEFICERS : President—Walker Taylor, Jr. Treasurer—Chas. Grainger, Jr. Secretary—Virginia Milton. Editor—Athalia R. Bunting. This class started in October with forty-four pupils. We now number thirty-nine. Our class has been led Thelma Brooks, with an average of 99%, closely followed by Jennie Gilchrist. We have completed many of our text books, which we are now reviewing. We contributed over one hundred volumes to the Union library, and have kept a bank account, which netted us nearly fortv dollars. Our class flower is the sweet pea. The class song has been writ ten by a member of our division, Katharine Risley, and will be sung to the air of Auld Sang Syne. Our teacher requests that it be mentioned that she has appreciated very much the manner in which we have con¬ formed to her wishes throughout the session.
