for We were Juniors, and even the Seniors treated us with due respect. Our superiority over the lower classes was made mani- fest in a cane rush which took place in December, 1898, between the wouldbe valiant Sophs and our Naughty boys. Needless to say we Were victorious and are now looked upon With envy and admiration by the other classes. 1 On the evening of February 3, 1899, We gave our nrst Junior social. This delightful affair Was held on the irst floor of the new High School building. The halls were pro- fusely decorated with choice iiowers, and everywhere could be seen the Junior colors. After listening to a farce entitled 4' The Veneered Sav- age, we repaired to the room which had been fitted up for dancing. This place gave one the impression of a veritable fairy land with its twinkling lights and the fair forms of the Junior maidens. Never were the Naughty-Naughts in such excellent spirits. Every one present took advantage of the inspiring music afforded by Mr. Carl Hill, and it was not long before one and all were tripping the light fantastic toe. After dancing, light refreshments were served, thus ending one of the most delightful events of the year. The success of our class is due chiefly to its wise selec- tion of officers. They have worked faithfully for the wel- fare of the Class and have always had the hearty support of its members. Our highest aim is to educate ourselves to be men and women who will do honor to the coming century and of whom it will be said, They have followed well their motto, 'To be, rather than to seem'. ,

It was in the year '97 that, as a class, we first entered the High School, or rather all that was then left of it. We knew that we would be the first class to graduate in the coming century and were determined to make the most of that honor. Our Freshman year was well spent in getting a start for the ensuing year, but when we became Sophomores, things took a diiferent turn. On Thursday evening, May 26, 1898, we gave our iirst social, which was one of the social events of the year. Not like other classes, we were more generous and extended our hospitality to .Tuniors and Freshmen alike. After listening to an excellent musical and literary program, dancing was enjoyed. Notwithstanding the warm weather, we were loth to leave until the very witching time of night. ' The iirst of September found us again taking up the burden of school life. But we had assumed a new dignity,
