Junior Class of 1023 The Preshies of 1920-’21 were a live bunch and it seems they have still retained a little of their pep in their Junior year. Each year their number has decreased a trifle but still they have the honor of having the largest number of Juniors in the History of A. C. II. S. At the beginning of the year 1922-’23, the class met and elected its class officers. They were: President, Ethel Kincaid; Vice-President, Lee Primm; Secretary and Treasurer, Edward Winterbauer. The class gave the annual Junior play, “The Thread of Destiny,” March 30, 1923. In the Tennis Tournament held last fall the honors were carried by the Juniors who were represented by John Zalenas and Alfonso Jurkonis. This class has been found prominent in every other activity of A. ( '. H. S. [Senior Note]—The Juniors are very modest in their claims to fame. This is characteristic of them. But the good they have done, will live long after them. Without their generous support this book would have been impossible. This is the class that “has never brought discredit to A. C. II. S.” —The Senior Staff. 12
