THE POST Junior Class History We were not an ordinary class. Our greatest advantage as Freshmen was that we knew as much about classes and class rooms as the tipper classmen did for we were the first Freshmen to enter the Atwood Township High School building To say more for us, we even knew what conflicts were and didn’t sit with our mouths wide open when Mr. Sutton mentioned them as the present Freshmen did on the first day of high school. In 1917 as Freshmen there were twenty-seven of us. We were initiated, as most Freshmen are, and returned the party to the upper classmen. That year the boys took much interest in athletics Margaret Hofsas represented the class in the oratorical contest. In 1918 as Sophomores, we entered school with twenty-one members. During this school year, we were saddened by the loss of two of our members -Fred Billman and Margaret Hofsas. We did our part in the oratorical contest, both at Charleston and Monticello and also kept up our record in athletics. September 1919, saw twenty-one Juniors come to take their place next the Seniors. Three of our members were in oratorical contests this year. One of our four boys, Henry Wilson, went out for athletics. Now our number is twenty, and we hope to meet again next year as Seniors to keep our class Pep and Reputation as good students.
