THE PIONEER JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Vg,,,- ln 1915, we. as brave little Ifreshmen. thirty-one strong. climbed the stairs to the life we had dreamed of for several years. Of course. we deter- mined to be the one grand exception to the rule that all Freshmen are green and timid. But. after elasses were fairly started, we beeame so hopelessly entangled in a labyrinth of programe cards. study periods and elanging bells that we felt as green and shy as the ordinary Freshman. Of eour-fe we afforded mueh amusement for the Seniors. but after sev- eral weeks we were settled and enjoying the change of subjects and discipline immensely. After being entertained at several delightful parties, given by the upper elassmen. we felt that it was our turn to entertain. George lVash- ington's birthday offered a favorable opportunity. so we set out with a vim to ma ke our first party a sueeess. Decorations and refreshments were ear- r'ed out in patriotie schemes. The party fulfilled our highest expectations :1 nd we now felt that we had done something which made us worthy to be- long to C. C. H. S. During the same year, the girls of the Freshmen Cooking Class. bfirnerl their patient fingers. steamed their beautiful faees. and put forth their best l:'.bors in preparing a dinner for tl1e High School Board. f'All's well that ends well. in fact. at a suggestion given by Mr. Lure. our princi- pal. and Miss Eekles our Domestic' Sc-ienee teaeher. we were inspired by our sueeess to give a dinner in honor of the returned soldier boys. Oh Y the prepa- ration of those seven eoursesl llvill we ever forget? Never. Hut the empty .plates and smiling faees well expressed their thanks. By the time we had fnished washing the dishes it was 11 230 and the guests were so interested in telling war stories that our stealthy eseilpe was imnotieed. However. the next morning. we found a note. whieh the boys had left in the kitehen. thank- ing and congratulating the Freshmen K. Irs. Yow. as the month of May advaneed a foreboding cloud of examina- tions hung over our heads. Some of us endured the eloud burst and a few were drowned. However most of us looked forward to being Sophomores the next year. The following yeir. with heads llll. as Sophomores. we domineered over the Freshmen and laughed at their eonfusion and timidity. But soon our spare moments were taken up with other aetivities. This year was an uneventful one. Of course the reason was that we were so deeply engrossed in study that we eould not find time for play. llowever when the athletie season opened. as our class had a majority of girls. we did not have a representative on the basket ball teun. But we feel that we did our share in supporting the game as Stanley Allen. our presi- dent. was eleeted yell leader and held that position all year. After the basket ball game between Casa-ade and Fort Benton. we gave our elass party. the only soeial event whieh we gave during our Sophomore year. Now we are in our Junior year and our number is diminished to twenty- three members. Our elass offieials are: president. Stanley Allen. vice presi-
