History of Junior Class passed by without a volley of mirth being showered upon us. We were sports and took everything in a good humored way. At first we were inclined to be confused and to wander aimlessly in the hallway following one of our classmates whom we thought was going in the right direction. This of course afforded much fun for the upper class-men. Thus begun our life in C. H. S. It did not, however, take us long to get down to work with sleeves rolled up ready to tackle any proposition, big or little, that came up before us. The first thing we did was to elect class officers which were as follows: Earnest Holiday, president; Wilbur Garvin, vice president; Gertrude Watts, secretary, and Helene Pinnick, treasurer. A more spirited class never entered C. H. S. Many parties and barbecues were held this year. We must not fail to mention the Freshmen banpuet held in our honor and the royal treatment we received from the upper classes on that occasion. Our class did not show any musical, literary or athletic ability during this term. In the spring our Freshmen year drew to a close and with the loss of four classmates, including our president. We began our work in the fall as Sophomores. John Weese was elected president and we feel that he has done everything in his power for our class. Back to work again, but feeling a little more important, perhaps, we began our Sophomore year. This year for us, was rather uneventful. We took part in the track meet for the schools of Crooksville held here and we sent our quota of men winning second place. This was the most important happening for our class that term. We regret to say that though we gained several new pupils, we lost several classmates who had been with us thru the grades. A-mong those lost was our vice president, his place being taken by Melford Allen. Our Sophomore year was too soon ended and in the fall we came back a little more reserved and dignified as J uniors. We feel that we can justly be proud of our class this year. We have three members in the famous high school orchestra, two girls playing on the basket ball team and several in the Girl’s quartette. We enjoyed several parties this year, the most important being the one the girls gave in honor of the boys. Soon our Junior days will draw to a close and become a part of our memory of the past. In just a few weeks we will leave C. H. S. to return again in the fall as Seniors. Our Junior year has been a very happy one. We have worked hard together, we have enjoyed every moment spent together. Next year we will enter C. H. S. and be guided by our motto, “Gradatim.”
