Trigg, Pearl Class History of the Juniors On a certain bright, sunshiny morning in September, 1920, amid the suppressed laughter of the upper classmen, a group of freshies entered the high school assembly At their first class meeting Willard Hieronymus was chosen president and, Miss Bessie Springer, Class Adviser. At the end of the first week the faculty believed this class was hopeless, but as the days flew by their future seemed brighter. Having such-splendid examples as the three upper classes they learned to enter the assembly quietly and to begin the day’s work without being reminded of their duties by their several instructors. After many long, weary months of what seemed useless toil school finally came to a close and an older and much wiser (?) group went forth to forget over the summer what they had learned during the year. At the close of an all too short vacation this class was again summoned to resume the task of filling their heads with much useful knowledge. A class meeting was called and after many dififerent opinions were expressed Priscilla Beverly was chosen for president and Miss Irma Fraser for Class Adviser. By this time they had begun to think they played an important part in the affairs of school life. That year it was discovered that some members of the class possessed unexcelled talent both for music and the stage. With the help of the star basketball players obtained from the Sophomore class that year a wonderful basketball team was organized. When nine months had elapsed the high school students were again given a vacation in order to recuperate. The third year began—and as yet there were many things this class had not learned. The class met and after a heated discussion elected Phillip McCullough for president. Two class advisers were tried before Miss Thompson decided to assume the difficult task of advising the Juniors. A short time after the close of the first semester a girls’ basketball team was organized and the Juniors felt that it would not be complete without at least one member from their class. As this is the year in which this class entertains the Seniors they are devoting their spare time to forming plans for becoming multimillionaires. They are now watching their report cards and preparing for the great responsibility of running the school next year. Page 17 Margaret Snook, ’24.
