Jfmtior Class -History In the month of September, 1918, we, the Juniors of 1921, began our journey through the paths that lead to Nigh School education. In this illustrious class were: Marvel Adams, Thomas Bond, Edward Gard- ner, Gladys Holdiman, Claire Lamb, Bernice Nesfield, Irene Penne, and Charles Penne, who finished the eighth grade together. At the beginning of our Freshman year we were joined by Clarence Leibert. Mrs. Pearl Cruise guided us safely through most of the intricacies of a Freshman year of 1 ligh School. September, 1919, found us back in school as Sophomores, reinforced by Floyd and Oscar Guyer, with Mr. Methfessel as principal. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Methfessel resigned and was succeeded by Mr. Miller. September, 1920, found us back again as Juniors, except Clarence Leibert, Edward Gardner and Floyd Guyer. As our school has enlarged, we now have three teachers — Mr. Cottingham, Mrs. Cottingham, and Miss Vivian Stone. At the beginning of the second semester Mrs. Cottingham resigned and was succeeded by Miss Gladys Jensen. We, as the seniors of 1922, will be the first class to have the honor of graduating from the new Consolidated School. The Junior class is fully organized, with Bernice Nesfield as president, Marvel Adams as the vice president, and Thomas Bond as secretary and treasurer. S)ur iEitijIislj ©rarljrr We have one English teacher. We shall not want another. She maketh us write book reviews and essays without number. She delivers to us many speeches. She causes us much worry. Yea, tho’ we study much, we make slow progress, For we do not understand her. Her zeros and lectures discomfort us. They putteth our heads in a whirl. But she careth not. Honest to goodness, Rather than endure all her assignments, we would prefer to dwell in the house of ignorance forever. Amen. — The Juniors. Pa$e twelve
