Junior Notes Vincent Starrett, President; Harvey Abel, Vice President; Hollie Persinger, Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Belsehner, Sponsor. Inr-the'fall 'ofi'i1911 the class of 1915' started their high sehool course rather auspiciously under the leadership of Ray Clayton. It thrived in all its greenness, rev peatedlyovercoming the upper elassmen. Chief among these honors vats defeating the Seniors in their attempt to capture our pennant. i According to the laws of evolution the next year found us Sophomores and doing our best to humble the Freshies. The course of the class during this year was directed by Adrian Ayres. Vincent Starrett was elected to the presidents office at the beginning of the present year. Underhis regime many suc- cessful social .eventsV-were held, most notable'of which was the Junior-Senior banquet. The mothers of the class served this banquet, Which was perfect in every detail. The Class of 1915 have been recognized as leaders in all lines of school activity. They have cbntributed their full share to foot ball, basket ball and base ball, teams Which have represented. Central 'City. Through Victory and defeat, loss and gain, we have in a measure learned the great lessons of self-reliance and self-control. i

Di in thought that the Seniors had lost much of that awesome eha 'acter with which we had.alwaysregardedtlhem. ,All was serene t and peaceful in camp. The faculty were composed of new teachers but they assumed the helm with the dispatch of master hand. The hrst of our Junior yearpassed without mishaps. A good deal of our spare time was spent in keeping the new Freshies from falling into the traps set for them by the Sophies. It is all owing to our strenu- ous efforts that they are prepared, when we leave, to take out place as the leading class in thehigh school, but they do not acknowledge our claim. Such is gratitude. This year the JuniOr-Senior banquet was discontinued for obvious reasons. The 1'8- mainder 0f the time was spent in studying diligently and preparing for the finals. Thus, amid the exciting oeeurvences 0f the elosingsehool year, the light of our Junior year went out . . . Our Senior 'yeai- begtai'rwit'h' the same kind of bright sunshiny days as had all the others. But, semehow, things had a different aspect. The Juniors and Sophies seemed no longer one of us and we could not even see the Freshmen. We were in a world apart from all the rest. Again the faculty had almost entirely changed. Mr. Findley of the curly hair and wavy eye- brows had taken Mr. Kaupls place. on the. platform. The officers elected wereas fol.- lows: Max Clayton, President; Marguerite Sehudel, VieePresiclent and Nettie Grosuell', Secretary-Treas11rer. Milss Ends was elect- ed Class Sponsor. Things sailed smoothly on in their aeeustmned channel except for several disappointments during the latter part of the year when we were unfortunately deprived of our class play. In athletics as well as in other school activities our representatives have estab- lished an enviable reeortl Their loss will be sorely felt next year. The time draws near when we, the class of 1914:, Will be disbanded and scattered far and wide, wherever duty may call. Our class will he the last to graduate from the Old high school and we are sure that the pleasant days spent beneath its towering steeple will never be forgotten. In looking back through the four short years almost completed we realize how little we knew of the difficult obstacles that must be sure mounted. ' But, through each successive step as Freshmen. Sophomores and Juniors, we have slowly but no less surely, overcome each difficulty that confronted us until we stand, at last, upon the lofty summit of our Freshmen ambitions. Many of our ventures seem to have been predestined to failure from the start, yet with ill will towards none and kindness to allwe unite in bidding our schoolmates and teachers a fond fare- well.
