JUNIOR C L A When one stops to consider that since September, 1916, a bevy of boys and girls fresh from grammar grades have attained that honorable and distinguished state of Juniorhood and are look¬ ing eagerly forward to Seniorhood, small wonder then that such a time-worn expression as “Time Flies’ is inadequate. As Freshmen we might record many happy events. Although at first awed by every new wonder of our High School, we wended serenely our way from our six session rooms, 22, 23, 24, 25. 38, 39, under atson. Marsh, Whitlock, Petty, Bash, Harlan, ever intent upon our lesson. Honored by the fact that we were represented on the Board of Control and Comus, we tried to assume new dig¬ nity. Our Freshman year was first marked by a minstrel in charge of Professor Brown. Football and basketball season passed. On each team, although perhaps unrecognized, the loyal Freshmen per¬ formed their duties well, assured of places in their coming Sopho¬ more year. hen Z. H. S. in 1917 won the two debating pen¬ nants, none cheered more lustily than the loyal Freshmen. The Senior reception in May brought out the latent talents in some of the “Freshies.” After a summer of vacation a somewhat smaller group re¬ turned to Z. H. S., as Sophomores. The session rooms, 33, 35, 7, 40, under Petty, Vogt. Byers and Merkle proved interesting. Co¬ mus reporters, literary officers and Board of Control representa¬ tives were elected. Freshmen reception by the three upper class- men proved a huge success. Again in November, came a minstrel better than ever under capable direction of Mr. Brown. This year the Sophomores turned out in large numbers for football and starred in every conceivable direction. Days passed quickly and again came the great event of the SS HISTORY year, Debate. The fact that we won but one of the pennants in 1918 did not lessen one atom the spirit of 1920, who realized that as far as real debating was concerned Z. H. S. held the medal. Due to the war our geometry teacher was called to the colors and it was with a rousing farewell we bade adieu to Mr. Diehl. With a feeling of sadness the 1920 class realized that it had lost one of the highest and most promising students, “Phil Jones, who drowned during the summer. The three session rooms which greeted us as Juniors on our return to Z. H. S. were 27, 28 and 29, under Envine, Polk and Mr. Young. Comus reporters, literary officers were elected and with increased ardor we resumed our studies for we realized that over half the goal had been attained. Due to the “flu ban there was but slight attempt at athletics of any sort and other unfortunate circumstances prevented social activities. However, owing to action taken by teachers and pupils we were once again on a firm footing, basketball season opened. Juniors were given laurels many times. Then for the first time in the history of Z. H. S. a comic opera, “In India,” was staged by Mr. Hetzler and Professor Brown, as¬ sisted by Miss Sue Reed. In this Juniors came to the front. Again was a new idea introduced, that of a Junior Class Play. Under the able direction of Miss Alma Polk, the Junior Class Play, It Pays to Advertise,” was presented on the 6th of June. As a farewell to the Seniors and a fitting close to the Junior year, a re¬ ception has been planned for the icth of June. And as we achieve the dignity of a Senior not a one is there but who rejoices in the fact that he is a member of the illustrious class of 1920. Alice Smith.
