Even though we had to sacrifice many of our pleasures during this term, due to the great war, and exert more effort in order to accomplish our school work creditably, we have succeeded in mastering the task. There were difficulties to encounter especially in chemistry, geometry, and language. Worse and worse became the examinations; more rigid at every trial and tert. We enjoyed several social functions during our Junior year which might be of interest to note. The first event was the entertainment given in honor of the Class of ' 18. It was held in the gymnasium, on October 30, the eve of Hallowe ' en They well repaid us for our courtesy shown them, by inviting the Junior Class to attend a Kid Garden Party. Many “kid games” were played, afterward a delicious luncheon was served, we departed feeling sure that the friendship between the two Classes had been strengthened. The last and greatest event of all was the annual boat excursion. A delightful trip was taken to Piasa, Chautauqua, and at 10:30 the happy party started for home. This pleasant day ends the record ot our Junior year. Now. this, the fourth year in the history of the great class of 19 has been one of much hard labor, and but little resting by the wayside. We organized on September 11th electing William Holst as our President. The other officers of the spring semester were Harry Hughes. Vice-President. Kathleen Rader. Secretary and Luella Deterding. Treasurer As the pride of our class grew, we began to wish for badges befitting our station, and samples of jewelry were sent to our class, and at last, after much considering and reconsidering, the class professed to be satisfied with its choice. Ac- cordingly the pins and rings were purchased, with which we felt well content. Owing to the influenza ban we had few social events during our Senior year. The main event was the Senior party given by the Senior girls in honor of the Senior boys. The gymnasium was festively decorated with crimson and gold Music was one of the features of the evening, especially that rendered by Maude Mueller, the musician of the Class of ' 19 Games were played throughout the evening, and at 10:00 a dainty luncheon served. Our departure was taken at a late hour. Near the close of our Senior year two great problems confronted us, namely, that of giving a class play and also publishing an annual. Both of which met with great success. We have up to this moment upheld the honor of our school. Our victories have been won not without a struggle but we have succeeded in the spirit of our motto: “Difficulties conquered are stepping stones to success.” RUTH LAWIN, Class Historian. Page Twelve
