Rapahanoc ’Twenty-two Junior Class History I N the memorable fall of 1919, after seven long years of hard work, we entered High School as Freshmen. M rs. Courtney was our first class teacher, and helped us to solve the many perplexing questions which confronted us in this new world. We had started to school in Hotel Frederick but before we had adjusted ourselves to our new surroundings we were moved to the Elementary School. Here to our great consternation we were made to go to school from twelve-thirty until live-thirty in the afternoon. During this year we made our reputation in athletics which we have never lost. “Tiny” and “Jebby” became stars in Basketball, and since then Esther and Katharine have made themselves famous. Besides many of our boys have made expert football and baseball players. Being Freshmen, we did not realize the great seriousness of being High School students, so that our first mid-term examinations came on us unawares and caused many of us to wish we were back in the grades again. However, when we assembled again in 1920 as Sophomores, under Mrs. Blake, we had all decided that High School was not so bad after all. We were compelled to start in the Elementary School again, but this time it did not seem so hard as we were looking forward to soon being in our new High School building. Our hopes were not in vain, and late in the fall we moved into our much needed and long dreamed of High School. This building seemed especially fine to us after suffering from so many inconveniences and was greatly appreciated by both teachers and students. When we next met as Juniors w T e found our number greatly diminished. Many of our former class mates had fallen behind while others had left us and started to the Normal School. But we were fortunate in having Mrs. Courtney again for our class teacher. This has not, however, been an uneventful year. The first great event occurred the last part of December when amid the excitement of Christmas holidays and mid¬ term examinations M iss Rhea left us to start to school in Tennessee. The second was the coming of Mr. Link to take Miss Rhea’s place. Since then we have spent our leisure hours in studying the essay, and the Wallace Library is always full of High School hoys and girls seeking information on English. But we are all looking forward to meeting again next year in the class we have long worked to reach, and being called by the dignified name of “Seniors”. -—Edith Janney. 50
