T from various parts of the city and country, we have united and 'Dx f V' . . . caught the spirit of Junior. Our officers are the following: President .......... Frances Smith Reporter ......... Mae Mulholland Vice-Pres. ...Margaret McCormick Congresswoman .Marguerite Reder Secretary ........., Edwin Morgan Congressman ...... William Weber We are proud of the fact that four of us have received citizenship B's: Leona Kircher, Mae Mulholland, Margaret McCormick and Frances Smith. Sterling Hammock, captain of junior's Baseball Team, is a bashful boy from California. Ned Collins is our corridor officer, bold and brave, who continually gets himself into trouble by leaving the class room for his post ahead of time. Henry Scherck is to be one of the future orators, having begun his career as a Four Minute Speaker at the Ashland school in the interest of the school tax campaign. Miss Uhl, our adviser, is ever on the alert, ready to do her bit to help. Much credit for Year Book suggestions is due her as well as her pupils in the art classes, ' There are many others in the class whoihave co-operated equally as well as those mentioned, but space does not permit the tabulating of their deeds.

For to the front Idabelle stepped. We thrice presented Escheal with a secretary's crown, Which he did thrice accept without a frown. But here's a parchment with the seal of Junior, 'Tis good you know now that you are its heirs. You all do know Jerome Krutzch, our president, He hath left you his official chairg Pringle George, our vice, leaves his adios g Viola Maetten leaves to you her seat in Congressg Norton Schaefer wills his place in the Reporters' Club. George White his scales does present to you. Moreover, on this side of Union, David Balser, Lester Gast, Thelma Lunt, Genevieve Lechtenberg, Melba Merkel, Ethel Wall, Louis Yaffe, Jack Garelnick, Nevins Poston, Rosalind Jacobs, Charles Priver, Esther Stampfer, Rose Schaeffer, Richard Williams and Bernard Young, Have left to you Junior's Halls, ' Her noble campus, and her walks, For you and your heirs forever, Common pleasures, to walk abroad and recreate yourselves. Here was a group! When comes such another? The Peppy Nines Q 'WN E are the Peppy Ninesn. We do all we can for Junior: we de- ll, , posit in the bankg we subscribe for the Life , we contribute to 'E m il all the funds, such as the near East relief . Some of us are always on the Honor Roll . We go in for athletics, for are not our big boys, John and French, on the school team, and haven't our girls a successful baseball team? We go in for everything, and if we don't reach our goal at the first shot, we get there slowly but surely. We uphold the standards and morals of Junior to the best of our abilities. One of us, Jeanette Hammer, won the pennant offered in the ninth grade to the one who sold the most tickets for our show, while Virginia Henslee won the fountain pen offered in the seventh grade for the same purpose. And by the way, have you noticed the pennant hanging in our home room? The class won that for being the first over the top in Junior Life subscriptions in the eighth grade. We have only one regret since we entered Junior, and that is that we are to leave in June Ben Blewett, our home room 105, and our beloved teachers. Those of our group who have won Blewett B's are: Jessie Gorman C7th and 9th gradeb, Violet Scallets, Virginia Henslee, Mary Schneider, Gladys Russell, Jeanette Hammer. 52
