JlllIi0l' Edif6l'ldl. When we undertake to write the Junior Editorial a feeling creeps over us akin to that which must come to one vsho finds himself on a prairie forty miles from nowhere, left to his own resources,-we hardly know where to begin. I Our class history, if so it may be called, began, when in 1898, we entered the Old High School as freshmen. With what open-mouthed wonder we gazed at the austere seniors and what a patronizing look mingled with pity and contempt they bestowed upon us Our feeling of timidity and insignilicance was partially overcome, however, by the thought that we were now pupils of the High School ! But if in dwelling on this thought our pride was likely to cause us to grow to such an extent that there was danger of our clothes becoming too small for us, that growth was curtailed by the way in which some of those seniors treated us, so that we were not obliged to -enter the clothing business immediately.
