From the first each member of the class was filled with enthusiasm and determination to make this the best year of all. Our ambition was, not to BECOME the best class in school-that we had already accomplished-but to maintain and improve our stand- ard of excellence. We shall see how well we have succeeded. After school had gone along smoothly for a few weeks we were thrilled with joy one morning when the super announced that we might have time that evening to organize. We convened promptly in the library and perfected an organization that has since been at once the envy and admiration of all the other classes. The next thing of importance was the preparation of the school for the speaking con- test at Carthage. Of course, the juniors were the whole show. We had three representa- tives, andjtwo of them caried off the honors, getting first and second place, first place falling to Miss Lela Daughtrey. She didn't win at Carthage, but we're proud of her, anyhow. From this contest until after Christmas there was a lull in our noticeable activities. We were working, with a diligence and harmony suggestive of a great and powerful machine. Just sixteen of us returned after the holidays and settled down to perform well everv task. ln this way January passed. Then one morning it was announced that each class would give an entertainment in turn, beginning with the seniors. And who set to work with more de- termination to surpass anything of the kind ever given than we? As Miss Stearns' songbirds would say- NOBODY We showed our mettle by asking no man for his play--we composed one, alongside of which Shakespeare's eiorts are insignificant. On March 11th we gave our entertainment. The other classes, although they had voted never to cheer a junior, were stunned at the presence of true genius. Not only had we composed our play, but our songs as well, And it is only right that the name of the composer of these famous songs should pass into history-Miss Helen Harrison. Such was our success that the entire city rose and clamored for an encore. We gra- ciously consei ted and, on March 19th, repeated the play to a tremendous house, very gen- erously giving the proceeds to the betterment of the Bulletin. After the excitement was over we settled down to work again, and in spite of the temptations of spring we kept up until the last. We have gained the reputation of planning our work and working our plan. Needless to say, the future looks very bright to us. Nineteen hundred and .seven will give to the world a class of young men and young women that wiil be an inspiration to mankind. The World has been waiting, lo, these many years, for 'the junior class to take charge of things, and now we are almost ready for the task. Old Missouri is truly the gar- ken spot of the world, and Dade county is the rarest part of the gardeng G. H. S. is its prize fiower-pot, and the junior class is the choicest bloom on the plant.
