THE WALNUT TREE 25 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll’lllllllllllll'IIIIIIIIHIUlilllllllllll JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The first of September, 192i, finally arrived. With its coming, thirty-four ignorant Presides approached the weather-beaten old schoolhouse, timidly ascended the stairs an dtook their places in the old assembly hall. For a time everything was quiet, in the. corner where sat the Preshies; then a murmur arose. It grew louder and louder and finally developed into a roar. The Presides had woke up. We broke the time worn rules of the high school and enjoyed a party on Thursday night: we giggled and bluffed and whispered and chewed gum to our hearts’ content. But we finally arrived safe and sound into Port Sophomore, under the guidance of Miss Jensen. However, we discovered to our dismay that two members of our class, Kelly O'Dell and Howard Alshottse, had decided that it was useless to attend school any longer. Our Sophomore year opened with an enrollment of thirty-two. Miss Stro'ng, our class advisor, firmly decided that we were noisy, dumb, and mean. Perhaps die was right; who knows? During this year we lost five members—Salitha Turner, Margaret Osborne, Albert Wright, Edwin Wolf and Leslie Larkin. One morning we were amazed to find that the room seemed overflowing; the excite-ent subsided, however, when we found that it was only Walter Baumgartner who had arrived to stay awhile. We were good to the I-'reshies; we respectfully obeyed the Juniors and Seniors. So you see we were pretty good for Sophs. Twenty-six Juniors enrolled September 3, 1923. Miss Strong, with many warnings, tearfully turned us over to Miss Brewster. About the Only important event of the year was the long-talked-of Junior-Senior banquet for which we received much praise. We bow to no one except the high and mighty Seniors. Under the guidance of Mr. TTotland, we are nearing the end of our journey: for ahead loom the lights of Port Senior DOES THE WORLD KNOW THAT- Baumgartner, our “little man, Argues always when he can?
