History of the Junior Class ★ IN the year 1915 a very much bewildered crowd, which were 31 in number, landed at the head of the stairs in the new school building. They little knew what was going to happen them as they filed down the narrow aisle of the east side of the assembly room, where they were told to work. During this year several of our brave men showed great skill in athletics. The girls organized a very promising basket ball team. In the sophmore year we began with fourteen members. This year more interest was taken in school work and athletics. Our star athletes were Lowell. Garold, Wayne and Fred. The girls reorganized their basket ball team and had n successful season, without meeting defeat. E3£3Q£3£3n£=300Eia3£3E3C30S

There dearie, let Maude help you with your coat. Why. of course it's Maude Van Vleet. She is my maid and traveling companion. I just couldn't get along without her. You know, I always did like her. But goodness, where have you been and how did you ever happen to come here? 1 just met Miss Sutton or that is she was formerly Miss Sutton1 on board the-----------from Australia. And she told you about my living here and you thought you would surprise me? Just like you, you never were happy unless you were doing something unexpected. And you say you are the wife of the American Consul at Melbourne. Australia? And are going back to Washington? Well of course. I saw that in yesterday's paper, but I didn't realize that it was you. And so Miss, oh well. Miss Sutton told you that Virgil 'Penn1 had just finished a History of the Chinese People from the Beginning of Time and that he has been working faithfully over in Peking for nearly six years now. Why. I didn't even know where he was. But speaking of distances. I just received a letter from Mary Louise yesterday She is down in Panama in charge of a wonderful Red Cross department. She said thill she and her husband, who is the governor of Panama, are going to Washington the first of next week. Maybe you will see her. What! did you say Wayne Welker is in Australia? Yes. he is a famous Trigonometry instructor in the University of Queenlnnd and next yenr he is going to India to take n position in King George's college Say! he will be at Oxford next. Why that almost gets ahead of Harry Brunson I just took my daughter. Elizabeth, to Poughkeepsie last month and placed her in Vassar. On the way we stopped in Chicago and visited the U of C. and if Harry isn’t the president of the University. By the way, Lora Litchenwalter is at the head of the Elocutionnl department in Vassar. You remember her don’t you? Helen Short is the instructor in French. Elizabeth is in one of her classes.
