Twenty young creatures, called Freshmen, came to Fountain City High School to take up their work and since that time certainly they have made everyone in school conscious of their presence. Immediately after their ar- rival they were taken in hand by the old students after questioning, investi- gating, and assuring themselves that this class resembled former Freshmen classes, they were allowed to stay. As Sophomores, our class had dwindled, but we were recognized in school life. XVe felt rather important in comparison with the bashful Freshmen ofthe previous year, There was no activity in school that was not graced by at least one of our class. In our junior Year we are twelve in number, small but jolly. Roy Miller was elected class president and has proved himself one of the peppiest and best. Kathryne Barrett holds the office of secretary and treasurer, and has proved to be loyal. Our first big undertaking in the third year was the Halloween Carnival, which was a great success. Another big event was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. At the close of our Junior year we are indeed a lively class: those who know us, know that we can always be counted on to work for the name and fame of our High School.

He tells you all about his labors, How he's tried to teach his neighbors, How to plow and reap and mow- And the kind of crops they ought to grow, Part of his iife's been spent in a measure, Diggin' holes in the ground seekin' treasure, He failed in his ventures so we've often been told, And made a fizzle of huntin' for gold. I'd like to see Blocker assume a poise And then remark unto the boys In a boasting manner it seems to be That his Lordship's height is tive foot three 5 He talks of Creation and things that are rare An' tells 'bout Dorothy jilting him in his prayers. He says Cain went to the Land of Nod as he was bid And the Lord pitied him, so made him a wife from a rib He says Adam an' Eve'd never been to College, So they ate an apple to gain most of their knowledge, By refusing everything Blocker 'll fail XVe liken him to Jonah who swallowed the whale. Again we'll turn to the impatient freshmen, There's not so much left to say for them, 'Showalter's so stuck on Esther He thinks she is the stuff, But he found that little Carl C0uldn't call Ches Miller's bluff. YVe all wish him better luck however, For we realize it is now or never. There is our Beau Brummel, Herbie Brown, XVe'll regard him on enlightened ground, Herb was in Kokomo last time he wrote, But that don't prove he ain't in Terre Hotel He may be goin' south or snoopin' round, The state road house- Nobody knows just where he's at, Except that he ain't at home.
