They have their joys and sorrows, too, And take it all in sport, In victory with praise they cry, Defeat is no retort. They love their teachers and their school, They love their athletics, too, They love most everything that's good, That's honest and that's true. In ev'ry way that can be found, The best of all 'alive Are the aggravating Juniors, Juniors in '25. I A A -MILDRED VAUGHN, '26 awe lDhu Some Juniors Come to School Mildred Vaughn-To write poetry.

Junior Historq QQ? A summer downpour! What shall I do till the rain is over? I have it! Down from the shelf comes my Memory Book, that priceless treasure of memories. Gently I open the pages and each little souvenir brings to me many events of my short school life. Here is a splinter from a paddle! I got that the first day of school. Fresh from lording it over the Junior High School, we Freshmen felt so important. We were in High School now. Some day when one of our class gets to be President of the United States he won't feel as important as we all felt that first day. About one hundred sixty distinguished persons honored D. H. S. by making their debut into high school life in September, 1922. We knew all any one needs to know, but Dothan High needed us and so we enrolled. But that paddle, in fact those paddlesg my how merciless those Sopho- mores were! They soon made us feel we were not quite so important after all. I firmly believe the school could have gone on without us.' As if the Sophomores didn't mistreat us enough, some Senior editor-in-chief added insult to injury by writing our names in the Gargoyle with small letters instead of capitals. Now isn't this funny? Here is a picture of our Sophomore Class and one of the Senior Class side by side. Some comparison. But in our Sophomore year we really began to be sensible students. It was our sec- ond year in high school, just last year in fact. I do not know what the teachers would have done without us to take the freshness out of the Freshmen and to direct, with a most superior air, the frightened little fellows to the right rooms. I wonder if we ever did look as ignorant and bewildered as those last year Freshmen did. 0ur Sophomore Class was composed chiefly of athletes, musicians and workers. Leslie Ivey may be taken as an example of our athletes. Geraldine Lisenby, of us as examples But here is a Well yes!! But we though as we have school pianist, as an example of our musicians, and all of workers. We all had a good time that year. program from the Junior play. A Strenuous Life. enjoyed it. We Juniors enjoy everything. We should such a versatile class. Our number of athletes has in- creased, our musicians out number any other class, and we all are work- ers still. But I'm wandering again. Here are many souvenirs, a paper cup, a banquet place card and many other reminders of happy Junior days. And now I come to blank pages. What, I wonder, will the Senior year hold for us, the great Class of 1926? , j Q I 3
