 BERNETIAN Junior Class Organization Floy Nichols Dennis Walker Ruby Tuttle MayresJones President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Junior Class History When the Freshman Class of 1922-23 entered old Bernie High, there was twenty- eight in number. And we were not the freshiest freshies that ever entered this school. Soon after our entrance one of our members entered the field of matrimony, thinking that would be happier than school work. During the first part of the year we were, very shy of the other classes and tried to stay out of their wav; but we were destined to be a very important class in school, as our’s was about the largest. We soon became very popular with the Junior and Senior classes; but the Sophomores thought that they were of more importance. We certainly complied with our motto that year. “Beginners, but Winners,” and had a very good time attending parties and outings. Our first year in high school was enjoyed by all mem- bers of the Freshman Class. The second year 1923-24 we became Sophomores and not until then did we realize our importance. But at the beginning of this year our class numbered only twenty-three and in the mid-part of the year one more dropped out; but the vacancy was filled by a student from another school, who was welcomed by all. We had a very happy time that year, never having any trouble among ourselves or with any of the other classes. It was during this year that old Bernie High dis- covered the “honest to goodness” worth of us. They found that we were loyal to her and to each other and that we would always stick to each other in fight or fun. We were also true to our motto. “B3.” The third year of our career 1924-25 the Junior Class was accounted as the most popular class in Bernie High School. Still our class maintained the same number, al- though two dropped out at the beginning there were two more to fill the vacant places. This leaves us as one of the largest classes in school, of which we are very proud; also our class make up most of the basket ball teams this year. We are clinging to our motto, “Forward, ever; Backward, never.” There is nothing in our record that we are sorry of; but there are many things that we are proud of. —E. S. Page Twenty
