THE SPECTATOR The Juniors The Juniors, the Juniors, the Juniors, are we; This is the class of Juniors you see. You won’t forget us, we know you shan’t, ’Cause this is the class that never says can’t. We use our might and then our zest To try to make our school the best And outclass others by so far They’ll think it’s on a shooting star. The Junior Class, we pull for all; We hate to see a brother fall; We help him up and on his way; That’s us, the Junior Class today. Of all the mottoes ’neath the sun Our “Onward and Upward” takes the bun. And of all the flow’rs on earth we chose The one by the name of Sweet Baby Rose. Forrest McAbee

THE SPECTATOR ell, here we are in 1924 and juniors! When we were fresh ' men the name “junior” seemed to mean a great accomplish ' ment. To prove that we have been awake and working this year, let us give just a mention of a few of the things we can boast of. i One of our famous members has kept us, and several of the seniors, entertained by eating candy, cookies, bananas, oranges, and other delicacies when she was pretending to be very studious. Another one is so taken up with his work, especially in chemistry, that he must have students repeat their answers several times so that he may hear and understand all fully. A third spends so much time with his violin that he sometimes finds it necessary to fall asleep during study period. A fourth has become so interested in his scout work that we often find him day ' dreaming about it; but we hope that when he has reached the highest honor in that organization he will forget about it for a while and return to earth. One fair maid is so excited about orchestra practice that it would take a great deal to keep her away from it. Many of the rest of us could be charged with crimes just as great, but the editor forbids our telling it all just now. These attainments are by no means the whole story, for between times we have managed to study a few lessons and acquire some of the erudition which belongs to our exalted position. For the coming year of 1925 our plans are great and extensive. With all due respect to the seniors of this year we aim to try to surpass them. A few of the things we expect to do are: To help the freshmen and at least give them a little peace when they come into high school. We plan to help advertise the plays and entertain ' ments with zest and to do it unselfishly. But, folks, if we fall down on some of these things don’t jerk us up too harshly, as it will be the first time we have been seniors, you know, and we want to enjoy the honors as much as possible without being bothered too much with the responsibility.

THE SPECTATOR Sophomore Class e are much wiser now than we were when we entered the high school; but how small will our knowledge seem two years from now when we are ready to leave? As freshmen we were timid and quiet, looking for studies and for knowledge. Soon,however,the situation was reversed; we grew bold and became very noisy. We ran away from our studies and sought ways to dodge our lessons. But our teachers were kind and pitied us; so, telling us to study harder next year, they promoted us to the Sophomore Class. At the beginning of the term we decided to draw up a constitution. There was much discussion about the idea and finally a committee was appointed. During this term we have had much fun and parliamentary practice in learning to follow the constitution. We first turned our attention to the election of officers. One election was declared void because the quorum required by the constitution was not present. A later election resulted in Earl Murillo being elected presi- dent; Jane Whitaker, vice president; Rodney Capps, secretary-treasurer. In March it was decided that the class publish a monthly paper. To raise money for the printing of it, the Sophomore and Junior classes gave an entertainment and dance. It was a great success. The paper which was published was composed of literary matter rather than news, although all class news was in it. We are a studious class, on the whole, having five members on the “Honor Roll.” In other words, our class furnished one-half of the “Honor Roll.” We are also well represented on the athletic field. On the basketball team we have Ledford and Foster; on the baseball team, Foster, Cannon, Mazzini and Ledford, or almost one-half of that team. The girls, also, are not lacking in accomplishments. There were many of them in the “chorus” which sang and danced at the Citrus Fair. They were very graceful and their voices enchanted the throngs which heard M
