BRAKKEN The Junior Class is rapidly nearing the end of its third year of high school, and can look back upon a record which is truly one to excite pride. The accomplishments of the individuals are varied in character and include every extracurricular activity that is carried on in this school. One member of the class, Kenneth Christison. has held a place on the Orchestra for the last two years. Members have competed regularly in the oratorical and declamatory contests. This year George Reed, Lome Campbell, Ada Ingerson and Esther Benson represent their class. 1 he Junior members of the Student Council are Lome Campbell and Lenore Johnson. There are some very good athletes in the group, and they should form the backbone of the basketball team next year. Kenneth Christison, Lome Campbell and Russell Sadler have all gone on trips this year, although only the former has a regular berth on the five. The class won second place in the Soccer Tournament and was also second only to the Seniors in Honor Points for the first semester. This class should make good as next year's Seniors.

E a ii o The third vacation passed even more quickly than the preceding ones and soon we again assembled for one last happy year together. Our ranks remained the same as when we bade farewell to our Junior term, except for Harriet Johnson, who dropped out on account of sickness. Although owning the distinction of being the oldest class in school, we were not too dignified to work, as our record indicates. Five of the boys helped the basketball team win its victories, while three girls were on the girls’ team. Both of our class teams were victorious in the inter-class basketball tournament, while the boys succeeded in winning the other tournaments as well. Four of the boys made the baseball team. We did not neglect our scholastic efforts, in spite of our activity in other lines. To make our Annual a complete success required a good deal of work, but we were equal to the occasion. Again we distinguished ourselves in oratorical and declamatory work, and our individual average in honor points was the highest of any class during the entire year. We possessed some very good actors and actresses, which was natural for several of them had taken part in every school play since they began as Freshies. and so were able to put our class play, A Full House,’ across very successfully. So, although we have always been a small class in numbers, we have been leaders in activities, and feel certain that we can, without any boasting whatsoever. pity those unfortunate persons who must come back next year to take upon themselves the responsibilities which we have borne to do the duties which we have attended to. and to take the places which we have filled as no one else can ever do. We arc nearly through with high school, the old familiar scenes will know us no more, and we can indeed say, in the words of our motto, that we are finished yet beginning. This motto is well expressed in the following lines: When the school’s last lesson is mastered. And the classes are tested and tried: When the stupidest student has vanished. And the dullest has stepped aside: We shall rest—and, faith, we all need it!— We shall rest for a moment or two. Till the wonderful School of Experience Shall set us to work anew! Then those who have gone shall be happy; They shall pass through life's higher grade: They shall face the world’s difficult problems With countenance unafraid: They shall pass through each test as they meet ft At the sounding of duty’s stern call: They shall work every day—when they have to And never be tired at all! And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, Though we work for the joy of the winning. And climb up the pathway of fame: For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express. As he follows the gleam as he sees it o the goal that to him means success. APPRECIATION ... I ° the citizens of the school district who by their loyal support of the public school have given us the privileges and opportunities we have enjoyed as students, we wish to express our appreciation. We hope that we shall give such account of ourselves in life’s school that you will consider the money and ettort spent for our training a good investment.

Ali e Class Adviser—MISS WILKINS I he Sophomores have succeeded in making themselves favorites with most of the faculty because of their intense class loyalty and their energetic and progressive spirit. They have had some misfortune in their attempts to rival the other classes but we believe they will yet establish a record before their high school career is over. They possess some very good basketball material although only Albert Schulze has a permanent place on the school team. Albert also plays in the Orchestra. Charles Langer. Howard Criswell. Mae Hoard. Helen Benson and Viola Benson will attempt to win honors in the oratorical and declamatory contest. Members have taken part in school plays as well as other activities. Some of our best assembly programs have been rendered by them. Two promising young lawmakers. Albert Schulze and Alice West, aid in the administrative work of the Student Council. This class has great possibilities and we can only watch and wait to see how they will distinguish themselves.
