HISTORY OF JUNIOR CLASS This Class ought to be one of the seven wonders of the world. Tho their hojies have often lieen cast down, yet they always come up again doubly strong in some other part. Their first appearance was in basket ball, 11M 7. Alt ho as stated before the Juniors administered a defeat to them, they retaliated later in the season, and also fussed up the Seniors. In the late spring of 11 07 their spirits rose to a point where it was absolutely necessary to do something. Consequently the young men of the Class played hookey after being refused a legal holiday by the Sufxrintendcnt. Those boys were certainly pretty swift, and put Krnic Johnson up to present a bouquet of selected wild flowers which they had picked. Poor Ernie! The faculty didn’t appreciate the joke, and the Sophs did IHMiances of an hour each night for the next two weeks, and were promised a double dose next time. This terrible retribution on the part of the faculty sent their ambitious spirit all to the bad. and they subsided, and were not heard from again until, as Juniors of 11 08, they appeared in red caps. Xuf sed. Space only prohibits 11s from telling more of such bright acts of this Class, which will surely prove a worthy successor to the Senior Class of 'ox.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY In the year of our Lord. 1906, there were listed in the cradle roll of Ashtabula High School the names of some of the queerest looking cherubs ever seen by mortal man. They surely were an obstreperous bunch of babes. They had the astonishing audacity to l eat every Class basket ball team into which they happened to buck. Phis was bad—very bad—for whom? They were beaten by the Juniors, but thru the density of their intellects could not comprehend the fact. They played again. But alas! the Juniors, too occupied with other thoughts, allowed them to win. This was ten) much for the jnjor children. Their little heads weren’t strong enough to endure the glory. They actually thought they had done all that would Ik required in High School. I'ield Day gave them a chance to work off another tit of physical ambition. Their accomplishments, however, were not so marked in this direction. They closed an illustrious year by general and glorious flunks in exams, and Improving conclusively to themselves, as well as to others, that the physical side of their craniums quite overbalanced the mental. 1908 finds a bunch of half grown children in kilts and squeaky, glossy shoes; a hat tied awkwardly on their heads with rubber to hold by fastening under chin. They are now labeled Sophomores. They still reserve some of their childish ways and toys. And now their barbaric traits again burst forth. They send a denunciatory challenge to the Senior Class, styling the members of that Class as “cowards! villains! traitors!-- !----- !------! ! ! ! etc., if they refused to play hockey. The Seniors, older and wiser, disdain such evidence of childish imagery, destroying the absurd “letter of honor. We rejoice in the knowledge that the Seniors still live and thrive. The Sophs have, for a time, settled back into the calm routine of life to the tune of “Caesar, we love thee! , accompanied by I). M. Sceger on the Low Grade Line. They are now almost natural, and partially civilized. They wait until the passing of Raster. Now comes their social “debut in the Annual Class blow-out. They have a glorious future before them, and we only hope that they will make good before the close of their B-r-r-rilliant career. May they aspire to the deeds their predecessors have accomplished; and tho they fall short of such a standard, may they go on doing what they can in their own little ways, proving to the world that they have really lived in it. And so we leave them, developing their infantile characters into those of wee men and women. 19
