7 g gg, ,g Inu- i - gum sticking to our desks. The next Freshmen were hard-up and surely took advantage of this, thanking us for this small favor. We had a party in our Freshman year which was not much of a success because the boys were shy and kept away from the girls Qhaving been previously instructed by their mothers.J When, on the second day of June, the last day of School, we received our reports, we found that a few,-a very favored few,-had passed. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Our President for this year was Sidney Owens, Vice President, Stella Kelly, Secretary, Elva Spahr: Treasure1', Bob Parsons. The Second year of our stay in High School was begun with fewer classmates. Some had failed and were again seated with the Freshmen, others thought they needed cash more than brains, and a few,-all those who had chances,-got married. This second year was a year in which we were taught much, but few learned anything! We all remembered Mr. Mathais as he tried to drill into our concrete domes the principles of second year Algebra. He gave us much advice such as :-f'Attention is the stuff memory is made of - Memory, thou art a jewel. - Honesty is the best policy. etc. We had a few parties, all of which were a success, as our boys were not nearly so bashful as when they were Freshmen. We were the cause of much trouble, and were great trials to the teachers. They blessed us,-when the term was ended! We t1'eated the Freshmen much as we had been treated, only worse. They were our inferiors, then. This second year the High School gave a play called Fi Fi, in which our class was well represented. We had nothing to bequeath to the lower class, but our empty seats and our well thumbed and marked Algebras. fMr. Mathais believed in writing in text books.J This we gave them with the greatest pleasure. This third year our numbers have decreased until we have not even twenty empty heads and no brainy ones. We have enjoyed ourselves this year, but have learned practically nothing. We had our picture taken this year, and it is somewhere in this book. We are not all there, but it will give the unknowing an idea of what we are like. Our picture would have been better had Dot not wrinkled her chin, Rena had not looked so hard for the birdie, Estella had looked more pleasant, t'Sid had not swelled his chest, Lee had washed his face, Eddie had not blinked her eyes, Johnny had not been so close to Margaret, Fat had not made his eyes look like a Japs, and I hadn't bitten my lip. The remainder, Alice Fickey, Snitz, Mary, and Margaret, took good pictures. Please pardon those of us who spoiled the picture. We had a meeting and elected officers in place of those who had stopped school. Sid was again elected Presi- dentg Stella, the Vice-President, Rena, the Secretaryg Johnny, the Treasurer. We were well represented on the Football Team by Lee, Sid,', Mary, and Fat In Basket Ball, Lee, John, Sid and Marland up- held the honor of the class, while the girls were represented by Stella,,' Rena, and Edna. Dean is Manager in Base Ball, while all the Junior boys play. We are glad that we will be Seniors next year, but we are sorry that our stay as Juniors was so short. To the Sophs of this year, the future Juniors, we leave the great privilege of sitting in the same room with the Seniors. Good luck, Juniors, to be. Enjoy yourselves, you will only be Juniors one year, if you are lucky. Our best wishes for success and fame are with the Seniors. We will try to be as good Seniors as you were. Three cheers for the Juniors. -JULIA YOUNG, '22

O., '22, Enninr Qllaaa Qiatnrg the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighteen, on the It third dav of September there entered into Apollo High School 5 H . y . a troop of sixty-four Freshmen. Like all other Freshmen, we were at first green. The Seniors claimed that they took us for Q ,LP1'e'4-211935453 grass, but they were mistaken and changed their minds soon. We sure showed them up. One by one our members dropped off,-some thinking that they knew enough, their heads were quite empty. We would like to put our Freshman picture in this magazine, but the photogra- pher would not make us another one. He said it was too hard on cameras. But, satisfy yourself to know that we were a healthy bunch, always kind and thoughtful of our teachers, never bad, always willing to help a friend, and so considerate of the Freshmen-to-be that we left all of our chewing
