Junior Cl ass History On the morning of September 8, 1921, the class of ’25 made their initial appearance at the Berne high school assembly. We numbered thirty-nine strong. In this our first year we resolved to accomplish many feats, but as it happens to most Freshmen there were more defeats. However from the very first our class never was found on the back seats when it came to literary programs, glee club or orchestra. A few of the class felt that their mental powers were being quite over-taxed so there were only thirty- two members left to wind up our Freshman year. When we came back the next fall we missed four of our former classmates. How¬ ever, we were glad to welcome Judson Erne into our class. It took a few weeks for us to get accustomed to the new curriculum. We snatched at the opportunity of being called the upper classmen and—those poor Freshmen! They had to take our revenge for all that had been done to us. We began to walk in the halls instead of run and to take on quite a devout air and manner. The Juniors and Seniors began to open their eyes when they saw the Sophomore class claim two of the county champions in the Literary and Music Contest. Our class was also honored by the appointment of one of our members, “Michy ' , as cheer leader of the high school. We made many brave struggles to swim through the steep waters of hard study; however, the class finally pulled through with no member missing and we numbered twenty-nine. In this our Junior year, we are again minus three former members. The class welcomes two new members, Margaret Striker and Ruth Schlechter. This year has been by far the busiest that we have had. Our class paper “The Budget” has been published monthly. The Junior Class Play, Come Out of the Kitchen” was very suc¬ cessfully given this spring. Eight of our members are in the advanced orchestra, while one is in the Junior orchestra. Eleven members belong to the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. This is all very fine and encouraging, but—we also are the jolliest bunch in school!!! The Juniors could hold a party in the streets and have the time of their lives. The Kid party which was held this year was the best one held so far. We all forgot that we were Juniors and we were back again in our fourth and fifth grade days. 1 he Juniors have proved themselves to be a very fine class in both mental and physical ability. Some good timber was furnished by our class for the high school basket¬ ball teams and track meets. We are sure to keep on improving and next year, we as Seniors, will strive to do our utmost to raise high the standard of the Berne High School. Gladys Schindler. [ 25 ]
