THE JUNIOR CLASS-

U ye Campskigti of 1906. WitH A.pologfies to “Great Caesar’s GHost. Our High School course as a whole is divided into four parts, the first of which is called the Freshman stage; the next, the Sopho- more ; the third, the Junior; and the fourth is, in our language tlie all-powerful-and-mighty, but in others, the Senior year. Tliese all differ from each other in studies, uniforms, and coiffures. The grandest of all these is the fourth division, because it is tlie farthest removed from the “green” stage of affairs and seldom do deportment marks come to it, which tend to efftininate the character. Next to this comes the Junior year, which is ten weeks distant from the height-of-bliss stage, toward which ' this division is con- tinually moving. Now we Juniors surpass all in the amount of work accomplished, because we have almost daily contests with examina- tions in something-or-other, when one either chews his pencil point or murmurs naughty words. The first of these four divisions, in which we were called Fresh- men, had its beginning in 1902. It was really bounded by the side- board in the study-room, the definition of truancy, and Mr. “ B,” but it touched also upon basket-ball ; and in the Tolmama games, suc- ceeded in forcing nearly as far as the Seniors. We came straight from grammar grades ; doubtful .? well, yes; conceited ? wel 1, not long ; for anything resembling conceit was soon displaced by another feeling. But as the year stretched on, we had great hopes for 1906, and we really did show much class spirit. But in our Sophomore year, behold a change, — longer dresses, corporal’s stripes, socials, yes socials, and such socials, too. They se. mei to be the distinguishing mark of our class. And at the Fair, too, we won renown by having by far the finest and the weightiest booth, the Country Store. This under the guidance of “Jimmie” 31
