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.

We have now come to the end o-f our sojourn in the High School, anidi it with pleasure that we review our stay here. How well we remember that bright September morning four years ago when, with great fear and trembling, we made our way into the St. Jo- seph High Scho-ol. Qur older brothers and sisters assumed a very dignified air before us., and laughed at our mistakes, but we consoled ourselves with the thought that they had o-nce had the same experience The teachers greeted us very kindly and did all in their power to make us feel at home in our new abode. In- a few weeks the school was running smoothly, and we had begun to realize the great work that was be-- fore us.
