Junior IHiatory It was three years ago in September that we entered the Dunkerton High School harbor, the greenest of sailors. I will try and show how this greenness wore off. The members of this enterprising class were: Mary Rodgers, Harold Owen, Martha Westlic, Dorothy Greelis, Fren Strover, Charles Dundon, Fay Bartholomew, Alice West, Alice Owen, Morton French, Norris Clark, Roger Smith. Clair Barlow, Bernice Goff, Melvin Goff, and Grace Jefferson. The motto of our class is “To Victory Through Hardships.” On the first day we had our class meeting, but we had all been taught “not to speak until spoken to,” so it was a rather solemn meeting. We elected Dorothy Greelis, president: Russell Brant, vice president; Mary Rodgers, secretary, and Grace Jefferson, treasurer. We had, during this Freshman year, a highly talented class. Russell Brant, Norris Clark and Clair Barlow represented us in athletics, and most of the class were actors in one way or another. During this wonderful year of our lives we were having our infant minds trained by Mr. Metfessel the first semester, who was followed by Mr. C. Miller. The latter finally brought the ship to shore on the Sophomore landing. We set sail from Sophomore bay with four members missing, but Mary Carroll, Ona Heinz and Clarence Liebert took up the oars. Our superior officers had entirely changed. Mr. Cottingham was superintendent and taught General Science and Geometry. Mrs. Cottingham taught us how the ancients did and what language Spanish would be, if we spoke it. Miss Stone, the principal, was the other member of the crew. Her stronghold was English. After the first semester, Mrs. Cottingham began housekeeping and Miss Jensen took up her school duties. The athletic skill of the boys was shown as we came to anchor in Junior strait. With Mr. Cottingham once more at the helm, we seamen set sail under different officers. We chose Mary Carroll, president; Russell Brant, vice president, and Mary Rodgers, secretary and treasurer. The other superior officers were Miss Van Valkenburg, acting principal and English teacher; Miss Wilson teaching Spanish and Flistory; Mr. Jefferson. Algebra, Physics and Agriculture. After the first semester. Miss Smith took up Miss Van Valkenburg’s duties and we entered a new ship, “Dunkerton Consolidated School.” Sailing was so calm we decided to have the excitement of putting out an Annual. We elected Mary Carroll, editor, and Russell Brant, business manager, with each person ready to do his part. The members of the class are still showing their talents. They belong to Glee Clubs and take part in athletics. We are now floating our anchor in Senior bay. The next sail will land us where may be had a splendid view of college life. Twenty-Three
