THE JUNIOR CLASS Juniors This promising class of twenty-seven Must have a through ticket straight to heaven. Or else I couldn’t start my rime About this bunch, who if given time Will surprise many people within our clime With deeds which will show their minds sublime. When it comes to girls we’ve got the trumps Wouldn’t this bunch give your heart the jumps? Whether it’s honor roll, sports, dates or worse, The junior girls, they still come first. And the boys are handsome and bright, though slow As one glance at the picture will easily show. Yes we’re a bright bunch and we want you to know it The only bad part is our worthless class poet. V. S., ’27 926 Page Twenty-nine

H. S. There were forty-five of us but since that time many of those who started with us have entered upon other duties, such as keeping house or making their own way in the world, while others just couldn’t study. During our first year most of the boys came out for football, basketball and track, but a freshman seldom has a chance to become a star. Our second year at G. H. S. was filled with so many activities that the time flew by. We had several boys on the football team and in the basketball squad, and we were well represented in track. The girls, too, took a much more active part in athletics that year. They won the class basketball tournament and took first place in the inter-class track meet. In 1925 we came back to school as juniors. This year John Ramey was elected president, an office which “Mack” McGee held for the first two years. Raymond Savage was vice-president and William Tucker held the office of secretary-treasurer. This year we have been very successful in athletics having letter men both in football and basketball. The junior girls were again fortunate in winning the inter-class basketball games. The trophy cup has been ours two years in succession and it is up to us to see that it goes to the senior class next year. All of us now are looking forward to the time when we may be called “Seniors.” M., ’27. 1926 Page Twenty-eight

We finally absorbed enough knowledge to lift us to the eighth grade and struggling through it, we received our diplomas. In 1924, as freshmen, we entered the grand and glorious institution known as the Georgetown Township High School. After we had been ordered around by upper classmen for about two weeks, we had our first class meeting in Miss Henderson’s room. We elected our officers and were invited to a party by the sophs. There, we verdant freshmen were grandly entertained by the lordly sophomores and we repaid our debt to them with a weiner roast minus the weiners. The rest of the year passed without any great calamities other than two parties. We started our sophomore year by electing officers and giving the freshmen a party. They kindly returned this favor with a Christmas party at which Santa Claus showered us with a variety of presents. Since we are now safely out of the freshman class we feel sorry for them and pity them from the bottom of our hearts, but yet not enough to forget the sophomore’s privilege of bossing them. The sophomore class has contributed its share to the athletics of the year. Some of the best athletes in school come from this class and the sophomore boys won the inter-class basketball tournament. Now that we will soon give up our place to the class of ’29, we hope they will take our high ideals and carry the banner on to honor and glory. D. R. and E. B. 1926 Pa ye Thirty
