MEMORIES ’2 6 Junior Class History IjJjJ HEN the Freshman Class of 2 3 entered High School, the other students gave a party in order to initiate us. In all high schools the students take advantage of the Freshies as they are fresh” and green” to the ways and methods of high schools. The upper-classmen played many tricks on us, and everything that went wrong in the assembly hall we were accused of; thus we endured many hard bumps and knocks. The following year when we entered high school we were no longer backward and bashful; we thought we were the greatest Sophies in and around the State of Illinois. The first few weeks were spent in laughing at and making fun of the fresn Freshies (the reason we did this was because we were no longer Freshies, but WISE SOPHIES.) All this was soon for- gotten, however, when the members of the faculty told us that if we did not get down to work we would have to suffer the consequences. It was ihen (the year 24) that we decided to get down to business and work hard and show the faculty and the other students what we, the once bashful and green Freshmen could and would do. One thing we can truthfully say •9 that we showed the stuff we are made of and it certainly is good stuff. Next, the happiest and best year of all—THE JUNIOR YEAR! All Freshies and Sophies sit and dream that some day they will be what we are — the jolly Juniors . When one is a Junior he is no longer backward and bashful; he is worldly wise! To be a jolly Junior —what more can one ask? Pa e Twenty-two
