R. Lowery, superintendent, for their loyalty to our school. It is through their efforts and good judgment that our school maintains a standard which is equal to any other high school in our state. We hope that the classes of John Greer High School by means of honest efforts will attain achievements which will reward, in a small way, members ol: the Board of Education and Mr. Lowery for their services.

Nay, have np'-fear. 'Tis I, the muse of poetry. What then, thou bold intruder? Tell whence comes thy right To enter thus, unknown, in dear John Greer. Begone, or to thy message be In haste. Oh, class of 'thirty-one, Do hear me now, I pray, ' Ere starting on your Way In life, now just begun. When you, twelve years ago, did start your journey here, All knowledge was to you a land unknown. And now though each has learned, he locks In wisdom. For, think you to iind the skies all clear In life, and reap reward from seeds well sown? A harvest without toil or tax Or pain. When you are far away, Your high school days will seem if A peaceful happy dream- ' A time of love and play. To you, who now will go, in life, both far and wide, I give a final word of time advice When days seem dark and drear, and you Are sad, and cannot bear the thought of living side By side with wrongg why you'll look back, if wise, On your dear high school days, too few, For cheer. To you of 'thirty-one, Go bravely! Have no fear! Let knowledge help you steer Till your long race is run. HAROLD MILBURN, '31. D . i 4 1 4 in 6 I l. THE PICAYUNE Page7 Richard Welty Football 2, 3, 4.

The Junior Class OFFICERS President, William Carter Vice-President, Glenn Johnson Secretary and Treasurer, Lois Luby The Junior class has done its share in the promotion of athletics and scholar- ship. During the first year, as Freshmen, the girls Won the soccer tournament. During the second year they lost to the Juniors. This year they won soccer again, and we hope they will be lucky as Seniors next year. The Junior class has furnished a few of the boys in both fields-basketball and football. These boys showed their ability in both games. They were also runners-up for the class basketball cup this year. The home-rooms started out well this year. Business men about town came to school and spoke on subjects of interest to us. We hope to continue next year and to do something for the good of the school. Are you with us?

The tourney was won by Rankin, who defeated East Lynn. John Greer lost their county championship title when they were defeated by Arm- strong who won the county title by defeating Potomac in the Final game. Although John Greer reached the finals in the .District Tournament they were defeated by Armstrong, who for the second time upset all hopes of winning the tourney. ' Hoopeston had a fairly successful season and the ability of the coach and players was shown in the Way that they overcame a poor beginning. t X - w Page2o THE PICAYUNE Track l93I Track is receiving more attention this year than it has in previous years. There are prospects of having the best team in years. There are several meets this season among which are the Georgetown, Boswell, Decatur, County, and several other in- vitation meets. The squad is large this year and has a lot of good material. Blakley is expected to do big things in the dashes. Welty, Creamer, Blakly, Odum, Rodman and Cade are all out for the relay. Welty, Creamer, Rodman and Cade are also entering other events. G. Davis looks best for the half mile, while Jennings, Dobson and Rodman have also run in this race. Hawthorne makes the best time in the mile. TaHinger and Phillips are putting the shot, Phillips also throws the discus. Miles is throwing the javelin and Wood is showing up well in the pole vault. Creamer, 'Welty, and Cade are trying for the high jump and Devore may run the hurdles. All indications point to a successful track season. The dual track meet at George- town resulted in a 60-48M win for John Greer. if-fr .X- J, qvv .np J -.1 i 45 vw. 3'ug ,ft CM df -. ,a If ., THE PICAYUNE Pzage 2I Top Row-Milburn, Couchrnan, Welty, Sheets, Helphinstine, Swisher, McCollu1n, Stephens, Taylor.

Journalism Class This class has been organized only two years and is made up of people of high scholastic standing who are interested in journalistic writing. A paper staff is elected each semester from this class and together they publish the John Greer Spotlight. When the t'Spotlight was first published, two and one-half years ago, it was all outside work. Now the organization of a Journalism class takes the place of this outside work. The paper is published on an average oi' every three weeks and is supported by subsc1'iptions, advertisements and extras, such as sales and plays, under the direction of the class.

Aides lt is the policy of John Greer High School to use every means that will contribute to the comfort and convenience of the spectators and visiting teams. In order to do this a number of pupils are selected each year at the beginning of the basketball season and carefully trained for this rather difiicult task. This year these Aides clad in their white jerseys added greatly to the success of the season by their un- failing courtesy and faithfulness. B. FRAME. Top Row-Tallinger, Preston, Silvers.

Monitors It has long been recognized that teachers alone cannot conduct an efficient school but must have the cooperation of the pupils. Such an opportunity was presented the past year by the introduction of the Monitor system. Twenty-three reliable students were appointed by the principal. Among the various duties confronting these boys and girls were: Keeping a record of all pupils in the corridors during the class periods, :md returning' assembly reference books to the shelves. The monitors also acted as a student council. B. FRAME.
