Juniors The Junior class is a hard class for any historian to do justiceg it is a class consisiting of sixty- two pretty girls,and twenty-two bright boys. Early in the year a class meet- ing was called, to organize the class, and elect class offi- cers. Milton Barash was elected presi- dentg Mabel Sanders, vice-presidentg Lucia Packard secretary, and Alan Van Natta, class historian. Red and white were chosen for the class colors, and our yell was: Hullabaloo, Hooray-Hooray, VVe are a class that's all O. K. Never a class- so hot, so hot, As the class of nineteen hundred and naughty- naught. It was from this yell we received the nickname The so hot hots. It was peculiar to notice that in no matter what kind of a contest, the so hot hots were always in the lead. In the athletic contest among the classes. of the High School the Junior class won without any trouble, having some of the best athletes in the High School. Mr. T. M.

In the orthoepical contest be- tween the juniors and Seniors the Juniors wo-n. And in the Junior class are so-me of the best students in the High School. In-deed it is really alarming to think ho-w brillia.nt some Juniors are. a When we look at the Freshmen and' Sophomore classes of to-day we think of how Miss Rhoades and Miss Porter must sigh for another class like that of Nineteen hundred. The principal events of the year were the declaim- 'x ..- A N INETY-NINE. t I5 ing contest, the High School field day, the sending of a team to Columbia to co-mpete for a cup against the other High Schools o-f the State, the class picnic to the lake, and the orthoepical contest between the juniors and Seniors. We have been a mischievous and misbehaving class at times, but for the most part we have been steady and hardworking. In all it has been a happy year, with but one misfortune, the death of our be- loved classmate and fellow student Zella Wright. And so we wish to close, thanking the Senior class for giving us- an opportunity of expressing ourselves. We wish them good luck in whatever branch of study or work they take up after graduating.
