Junior Class History Wc for the year to conic dull take Our temper from to-day. Wordsworth. 1 UK days of this the third year of the Class of 1914 will soon merge into the past and we shall find ourselves launched upon the mast important stage in our career, that much coveted position as Seniors of dear old Kaston High School shall be ours. Yet ere we go let us pause and, looking backward o'er the fast departing years, let us see what we have accomplished, what we have done to prepare the way for this eventful step. Towards the end of our Sophomore year we elected the following as officers for our Junior term: President, Raymond Ferris; Vice President, I tura Blackburn ; Secretary, Florence King ; and Treasurer, Harold Pcifer. These officers have worked faithfully for the good of the Class and much of the credit for our present success is due to their untiring efforts in our behalf, to the excellent manner in which they filled their positions and con- ducted all necessary business. Departing from the regular custom of holding the first Junior Class Meeting in some public hall, we tries! the novel idea of holding our first meeting at the private home of one of our members. Accordingly, on the evening of September 16, almost the entire Class was gathered at the home of Miss Davison on College Hill, where after a short business session re- freshments were served and music and pleasant games indulged in.

Junior Class History—(Continued) plan adopted for this meeting was pronounced a decided success by all who participated and we feel confident that in this we have established a precedent worthy the careful consideration of all future classes of E. H. S. At this meeting the Class colors, yellow and white, were selected and the white rose was chosen as the class flower. A little later on in the season a neat and artistic ring was decided upon and handsome pennants, made with the Class colore, were purchased. During the three years of our existence as a class we have been loyal supporters of the red and white, contributing liberally to the Bazaar, the Junto and the Athletic Association ; being represented in football and track by Clause, in baseball by Kreider and Wolbach and in the girls' basketball team by Misses Blackburn, Komig and Eichlin. In the musical organizations of the school we have long been interested through the Messrs. Kline, Ricgle Thiedc and Brasso. And uow since we arc not permitted in this brief article to record events of the future, but only those of the past, much of interest and importance must needs remain unwritten. But suffice it to say that the Class and speakers for Arbor Day arc earnestly striving to bring their program up to, and even excel the high standard of efficiency achieved in former years by other classes and that a program of striking originality promises to be the result. Thus it is that we close these annals with a feeling of mingled pleasure and regret and leave these portals to return as Seniors of dear old Easton High. Historian.
