THE CANOE Junior History On September 5th, 1922, twenty-eight wide-eyed and timid Freshmen wandered into the High School, conscious of the preying eyes of Sophomores. We finally righted ourselves with the gentle, though firm guidance of Miss Beach and Mr. Johnson, our prof. Miss Ireland was appointed as our class advisor. According to’all customs we were “invited to an outdoor party at Bohleber’s where we were ambushed by a group of ambitious Sophomores on the warpath and the last of our greenness vanished. Now we felt fitted to the long four-year task that lay ahead of us. Several of the boys and girls fell by the wayside but others were joining us so as to keep the balance. Robert Pennell was made President, Elmer Deo, Vice-President, Betty Kelly, Secretary and Helen Dilley, Treasurer. Many activities dotted our way and when finally the High School picnic was held and school ended we felt grown up Sophomores. Due to our experience gained while we were Freshmen, the next year we quickly organized ourselves under the following officers: President, Robert Pennell; Vice-President. Jeanette Bryan; Dorothy Brown, Treasurer; Wilson Morgan, Secretary. As it has always been the privilege of the Sophomores to initiate the Freshmen we started to make preparations for this great event. Imagine our disappointment when we found that initiation had been banished from our High School. Argument was of no avail and so we have remained the last class initiated into the Berrien Springs High School. The next September we came back to school ready for hard work for we all realized that to be a Junior meant work and we were also fired by the thought that next year would bring a reward for our labors. Miss Warn was made our class advisor and the following officers elected: Jeanette Bryan, President; Joe Miars, Vice-President; Hazel Shriver. Secretary; Robert Pennell Treasurer. October 27 we gave an all-school Halloween party at the school house. Everyone came masked and prizes were given for the prettiest costume. Miss Warn received first prize. The proudest moment of our High School life came on the nineteenth of December, on which date our Junior rings arrived. We were so excited that we could scarcely enjoy the Christmas program. The Seniors gave a play and let us participate, thus calling it a High School Play; although it afforded us no money, it gave us fine experience for next year. The week after the play, the Juniors gave a Carnival, helped by the other classes. Besides other attractions, a play was presented. We cleaned up quite a pile of money out of this, and after giving a banquet to the departing Seniors, called ourselves Seniors and were ready for the next year and gradu ation.
