Pedigreed Literature of the Junior Class In order that you may understand the unusual ability in this Junior class of the Greentown High School, some mention must be made of our ancestors. As a class we recognize Adam and Eve as our very greatest grandparents, and to see some of our girls on dress parade would undoubt¬ edly reveal the fact that very slight changes have been made since that time in reference to styles. Among our other ancestors of importance are: Napoleon I, Boob McNutt, Hamurabi, Noah, Everett True and Robinson Crusoe ; but of course we all realize that far more important men than these mentioned might have been discovered if it were not for some missing link, that probably never lived. We will begin our description with the ugliest, Elba Cranor. She is a girl in whom we are very much interested. She is glad that this is a free country, as we all are, and that freedom of speech is enjoyed by all who can find anything to say and any one to listen. However, Elba is everybody’s friend and some day she hopes to marry some one who will listen to her and not make any comment about her line of “gab.” Wilma Bagwell comes next to the ugliest. She is the life of the class, full of fun and always ready for a good time. Wilma is willing to help any place she is needed and more willing to help where she is not needed. The chief objection to Wilma is that she is too noisy for a girl. Whitney Carr, “Jitney,” is a curious sort of a “human.” His highest am¬ bition is to be a telegraph boy. We are proud of Jitney, for he isn’t as ignorant as he looks. He is especially good in athletics, such as playing marbles and jumping the rope. Mable Smith is one of the Sycamore beauties. She is a lovely “little” thing, but in spite of her loud boisterous ways, she befriends even the friendless. Virgil Johnson, (Vergi,) is striving hard to learn the printer’s trade. He surely will turn out a second Benjamin Franklin. Vergi certainly pos¬ sesses the qualities which are necessary in reaching success. He is capable of doing anything he attempts. John Hunt is very studious. He is prompt and shows signs of intel¬ ligence at times. John has a smile for everybody and is the most peaceful boy in the class, except the writer. June Weeks certainly has a brilliant future. June is kind, gentle, and noisy. She is always on the job and works her best in school. June is a rather sensible creature even though she associates with Elba Cranor and “Pickle-Dish” Bagwell. Menno Ebersole claims Caesar as one of his least important ancestors. This probably accounts for Menno’s ability to handle “Caesar” in such an admirable way. Menno has formed a habit of flirting with the fair sex to a dangerous extent, and if it were not for George Scott, Menno would be con¬ sidered the worst cut-up in the Junior class. Page twenty-seven
