Junior Class History, In September, 1906, the good ship ’10 set sail from the port of Prepdon. There was a goodly crew gathered on the decks. The winds were fair and the skies were favorable. Of course we all felt a little green. During our first year’s cruise we had with us Admiral Brown. Our ship sailed for many uneventful days, through fair and cloudy weath- er, during which we were directed through Algebra, Latin, English and Physical Geography, which had been before unknown expanses of the great sea of know- ledge. The last week of the cruise we held a class meeting and chose Wint Ketchem, Captain. Finally we decided upon black and gold for colors, after many disagreements. Once in a while during our triumphant voyage, a passenger fell over- board. So slightly reduced in number, we finished our first year’s cruise. Then we anchored fora season. Our ship lay at anchor what seemed to be three very short months. The next September we renewed our voyage with three new students. We felt better now as Sophs, the green effect having entirely worn off. This year we explored the sea for more Algebra, Caesar, English and Ancient His- tory. The latter half we look up Geometry instead of Algebra. This year we held our meeting early, Arthur Rakestraw was made cap- tain with others from the crew, as officers. Some tried to change the colors but we still kept the old ones. About Thanksgiving we landed. The Soph girls having challenged the other girls of the High School in a game of Basket Ball. We are proud that the Sophomores won. There was a large crowd at the game, the Soph. boys and boys of the other classes tried to out yell each other. The days were uneventful till just before Xmas, when we had a bob party. The boys of the other classes of course felt slighted sothey followed us. They attempted to take our bob away. However the Soph boys succeded in holding it, and took one of the Freshies a prisoner. We had several debates this year, both in the class and with other High Schools. Then we gave our time to the unexplored seas until time to anchor. With September we again set sail. We are a wide awake. jolly, energetic class, although our number has decreased. Two new passengers joined in our voyage making a totalof nineteen. Nevertheless we expect to explore extensive- ly in Geometry, Physics, History and Cicero. At our class meeting we still re- tained Arthur as our captain. Another attempt was made to change the class colors, but nevertheless in vain. We close this year with the annual reception to the Seniors, which we hope will be a grand success.—HIsToRIAN.
