TJie S.H.3. Limited pulled in to the Sophomore station and approximately 110 students got off. They looked aoont the some as every other class had looked— scared, but trying very ha d to show it. The first few months were spent in getting acquainted with schoolmates, teachers, and subjects. Man students found their places in band, orchestra, and Slate. The athletic-minded were drawn to football, basketball, and baseball . Just as they were beginning to like the place, the train whistle sounded. Everyone knew if they weren't aboard they would le left behind. As much as they liked the Sophomore station, they were anxious to continue the journey and see what the Junior station would be like. The train ground to a stop in front of the Junior station and the group got off. They were fewer in number. Some had left for the service, and others just didn't make the train. They were mere self-confident this time, and it didn't take long for them to settle down. There were many things to look forward to. First, came the junior play entitled, The dirls Take Over. This was under Miss Evelyn Morgan's excellent supervision. Then came the Junior Declamation Contest. Donald Oplinger won first prize for the boys. Myrtle Lynn, who won first prize for the girls, was chosen to represent the school in the county contest, where she walked ofr with top honors. The juniors on the football team had a wonderful season. As a result of his fine playing. Barton Kester was choson as Quarterback on the League's all-star team. Nov came the tine to elect officers, choose our colors, and order our rings. Barton Kester was chosen president, Chester 5»fcle ns vice-president. Myrtle Lynn as secretary, and Thomas Davis as treasurer. For our class colors, we chose navy blue and white. Finally that important long-waited event of the Junior year was at hand. The Junior From! The banquet entertainment was provided by our fellow students and the Prom was a rose garden, complete with fountain, flowers, and fences. All too soon the train whistle blew for the last time of our high school life. 7Ye hated to leave when we were having so mu; h fun but we wanted to be the snooty seniors? so we all ran for the train. As the train slowed to a stop for the last time in our life as high school students, we were a little awed, yet jubilant to think that at last v e were Seniors. '.Ye got off, still fewer in number than t the Junior station. Many of our fellow students had been called to service. But something hod happened just as school opened that made the nation as a whole happy. Victory was ours '. Athletics had a good year. In football although the team tried herd, they could not duplicate their win over Pal-merton the previous year. In basketball our team took the title of Second-half Champions. But in the final play-off they were defeated by 'Whitehall by a score of 52 to 27. On April 4th and 5th the Senior play entitled Mumbo Jumbo was given, ft was under the direction of Miss Mc-Inamey who quite ably coached the excellent production. Nov it is almost time for Commencement. Only the Senior Farewell and grad nation itself await us. It will soon be time to board the train of Life which • fill mean a parting of the ways. Some will go to college, some will go into the business world, ar.d still others will marry and rear families. We went to thank our engineers for the help they have given us and the patience they have shown toward us.
