J umor Academy Class E mrfrht consrder ourselves to be mcapable of foretellmg the unlrmrted poss1b1l1t1es of our future but we are able w1th no lrttle sense of pr1de, to look back over our br1ef exlstence and note the marked develop ment of our class We w1ll not refrarn from the behef that the unan1mous xerdrct of all who have a knowledge of us w1ll be that we undemably possess quahtres wh1ch shall make us great and the character1st1c features of our organuatron 1nd1cate that we are JLIHIOFS only 1n name not 1n deed Our growth has been phenomenal for at our first class meetmrr we had the sad reahzatron that our l1m1ted number forbade us to delrberate long 1n cholce of officers But srnce there has been such a remarkable mflux to our ranks that now we stand almost equal to the anx ous sen1ors 1n number There IS a date whrch shall long be celebrated as an anmversary by all the members of the class of 06 December 24 when a few amb1t1ous .Tumors conx ened 1n Room 20 for class organ1zat1on After some confus1on, one member, 'supposed to be worthy of our excellence was searched out and grven command of our forces to lead them on the1r march to victory Meanwh1le the remalnlno' officers were chosen, class colors selected and then we ventured forth to conquer our foes Our Hrst encounter wrth any form1dable project was prev1ous to one of our class meetmfrs when a senror blrndly sauntered 1nto our peaceful quarters only to be rudely and unceremonrouslv prec1p1tated from our presence to the utter chaffrrn of hrs farnt hearted classmates arose who surpassed them by the1r early appearance wrth class colors and by the Brst socral event 1n class c1rcles However we d1d not deem It necessary to prov1de for the l'1ll1111l13.tlO1'1 of the ' Sophs as the1r sp1r1ts apparently have not ascended to any dangerous he10fhts, but we, as well as the casual obserx er, w1ll conclude that to d1sturb them 1n the1r rnnocent rnfancy would be 1nhuman and 1nd1screet Though we do not w1sh to drsplay our many vrrtues we srncerely hope that we have demonstrated to our compet1t1ve classes that we are not a horde of uncultured youths and that our knowledge IS not superflc1al Thus, wrth our str1k1ng character1st1cs our h1gh and noble purposes and wrth the pleasant real1zat1on that we are nerther 1n that unburred per1od of fadlnfr glory character1z1n0f the Semor and that our tra1ts and attrlbutes cllstrnvumsh us from the dawmnfr days of a Sophomore s prosperlty may we contrnue our journey on the road to success wlth our crowns bedecked wrth the laurels of past x 1ctor1es, our pathway strewn w1th flowers and the atmosphere odorlzed by the frults of our lntegrxty Thus wlll we, at the openlng of next year, be ushered 1nto the tranqurl haven where the sun of our past brrllrancy wrll add new lzfe and vrgor to our splendld band She du ells wxtlun a re ron bright peopled wlthl mg fanc es all her own NaomlB1osser . 1 I . . .
