Junior Class Song. Tune- Let Me Go Back, from the opera - Royal Chef. HELEN HARRISON. E are the Juniors- Don't you wish that you Could be, like us, A Junior, too? H We are so jolly ' And all the teachers They say: Those Juniors- Why, they're just peaches, They know their lessons, Oh, perfect, quite 3 Know all the questions When they recite. My! What a pleasure To teach such classes As those bright Junior Lads and lasses! CHORUS: We are the Juniors The jolly Juniors, And we're striving the livelong day O'er the seniors, The sophs and freshies You bet we hold our sway. O'er mathematics, or Cicero, We are the J uniors' Of Greenfield High School ' In this dear old Greenfield town. ! , Our high school days, To us so dear, Will all be over In one more year. Then we w.ill leave you, Perhaps for college, To learn the higher Branches of knowledge. And we will enter With never a fear, , Thanks to our learned Teachers dear. Professor Melcher Will in the future Be glad to say he Was once our tutor. ff 1 2 aid' . -.2fQ... - I S 1., .ac spy- 2. 9 . ,-fi? 3- -way ', .. ..j 'gg ,Q ' .:-4.2,-, ' :aaa s g- .., . -1131 'TL-.L ..

HAT shall a young Junior, What must a young Junior, What can a young Junior Do with such a teacher? Bad luck to the penny That tempted our teacher To give such hard lessons Just to see us labor! We're always complaining, From morning till eveningg We fret and we fume, The weary day long- He gives us such lessons! Our blood it is frozen, Oh, dreary's the night .As we pore o'er our books. We hum and we hanker- We fret and we canker- We never can please them, Do all that we can. They're peevish and cranky With all the poor Juniors- Bad luck to the day We met a school teacher!

T is entirely right and proper that a class composed of such talented students as ours should leave a written record of its achievements for the benefit of posterity. Not only will such a record be of beneiit to coming generations of high school students, but it will be a reminder to us of the happy days we spent together as sophomores. For these and many other reasons, we shall, in a simple, straightforward manner, record a few of our many great achievements. It was not without regret that we saw our freshman year draw toa close, but we re- alized that our parting would not be long, and that we would next be' sophomores, a title that would be, at least, more respected. When school opened the faithful of our class were in line and ready, even eager for work. We found that our number had decreased, but those remaining were more closely united, and hence the class was stronger. At the very beginning of our second year's work, as in our freshman year, we resolved not to follow in the steps of any preceding class, but rather to raise the standard of this year's work higher than ever before. It has taken de- termination and perseverance to keep this resolution, but as the year closes We feel sure we have kept it Well, and have left behind a record that succeeding classes will do well to imitate. Our enthusiasm over literature is unbounded. It is said that we have only one fault, and that is that we are rather inclined to discuss too freely questions that arise in the class. This may be Qwe cannot sayj becauselthere are so many girls in the class. We are not so sure that the failing is a bad one, for it makes our recitations much more interesting than they are in some of the upper classes, where they do not discuss them freely enough. In all our discussions we follow the old maxim: Whatever you do, do with all your might. We have read in class Cin addition to the textb Shakespeare's McBeth, Eliot's Silas Warner, and Emerson's Self Reliance. Many other books were read outside of class, and Ray Montgomery has read one good book for each week of school. And there are others in the class who have records almost as good. Those intricate problems of algebra, which so puzzle most sophomore classes, we un- raveled like Arabian sages. This was only the result of our intense and continued applica- tion. It has been reported that a sophomore has, at times, taught Prof. Melcher's higher al- gebra class for him. Be this true or false, there are plenty of us who know enough algebra to do it. We took, this spring, a course in graphic algebra, something generally given in college or university courses, and unheard of heretofore in Greenfield High School. If some classes had done as much they would be very proud, and, unlike us, would brag about it. We were much puzzled with Caesar, but after a time our proverbial perseverance pre- vailed, and we were able to master him. Many of us are so interested in Caesar that we have frequently spent the whole noon hour reading and discussing our lesson, On account of our habit of close observation and intelligent questioning, we have de- rived much benefit from the study of zoology and botany. i With a scalpel in one hand and a drawing pencil in the other, we have spent much time, this year, in the realm of grasshop-
