Then, we were anxious to get there, excited to learn what those funny words We saw on paper meant, desirous to sit in class rooms as the big boys and girls did. It was not quite the same class who entered under the supervision of Miss Sutherland in the first grade as it is now, due to the fact that some have changed schools, some have left, and some new ones have joined us. We had fun in that old gray brick building but we were always anxious to enter t.hat big building as we then called the West Church Street building. Every time we were ready to enter it they would put that grade back into the gray building. Finally, we did get there but only for a short time as they built the new building we are in now and we were moved to the new school. 'Our Class was the first Junior High Class to graduate from the eighth grade to high school in this building and maybe we weren't proud. Behind all this pleasure and happiness there was, however, great sadness for Mr. Hardy, our superintendent, left that year. September!! Timid little freshies as green as that color can be, fiocked up the stairs to go to our first high school classes. We were rather awed at the grand assuming air of the haughty Seniors. Cautiously we inquired our way around. We soon grew accustomed to the strangeness of it all and began to love it. At the very beginning of our Junior year we elected officers, who were: President, Margaret Clow, Vice-president, Mary Pierceg Secretary, Eva Cornish, Treasurer, Herbert Gazley. We also elected our home room teacher, Miss Pratt, to be our class adviser. During the year a great many different enterprises were taken up for the purpose of earning money toward our Washington trip. Magazines, jello, and paper napkins were sold. In the first part of May, the Juniors put on a fair. This took much planning as it was composed of booths for candy, pop, baked food, and ice cream. An orchestra had to be hired and the place decorated. During the baseball season, the Juniors sold candy and hots at all the games, making quite a bit of profit. On ,lune 23rd, the annual junior-Senior picnic was held at Durand Eastman Park. Our last grand affair of the year was the Junior Prom which is given every year to the Seniors by the Juniors.
