Y THE JACK Ol LANTERN THIRTEEN UNLUCKY-? NEVER The Junior Class consisting of thirteen has been anything but un- lucky. There are only three boys in our class but, we hope to have more next year. We started this year with a bang, anxious to make our school term a success. Uncle Sam's demand for our class President Lorain Wagner Cwho works in the Post Ofiicei and Dick Grafton's return to Woodward High School made it necessary to elect new officers. Cherry Quinn was elected President, and Peg Sherkel Vice Presi- dent, and at this election it was decided that these officers were to be permanent. Fall baseball season opened with one of our class, Banty Robert- son, as team manager. Banty is small but he is certainly a sporting baby and, tried his best to make the H. H. S. team a success. There were not many social events at Houtzdale High. this year gut th'e'f'e'w'th'at there' lwereguwere' attended unanimously by the Junior ass. . , ., .. . . . Several meetings were held to deccide on Class rings. After a little debating-not fighting '25-we decided on one which is aczmn-eo! by all who have seen it. r - There were none of our class in the basket-ball squadithis year. Surely the boys will try harder next year. It would not seemright to have a basket-ball squad without any Dignified Seniors --? The Juniors have tried very hard to increase their treasury. A lunch was served, from which we received one half the proceeds while the remaining half was given to the Athletic Association. In March chances were taken on a cake from which we received quite a Alot of money. Only one Junior had a role in Springtime this year's Mid-Year play. However most of us took part in the chorus which aiorded much enjoyment and we look forward with great expectancy to the Senior Play. In the second week in April a meeting was called by the Class President.The question brought before the class was Are we going to have a reception for the Senior Class? The Yeas had it and the President appointed two committees to begin work at once. Julia Hughes was appointed chairman of the Social Entertainment Com- mittee to be assisted by, Lorraine Hall, Juliette Reed, Marcella Chaplin Rose Marie Hagan, and David Hiller. And the working committee of which Inez Johnson was appointed chairman assisted by Gretchen Hil- ler, Banty Robertson, Peg Sherkel, Helen Dickey, and Cherry Quinn. It was also decided at this meeting that We serve a lunch on Friday, ay 1, after the Senior Literary Program. Dot Pidgeon was appointed chairman of the Lunch Committee and she and her assistants made a great success of the lunch. At the Senior Literary Giles Bonner, Senior Class President present- ed Thomas Quinn, President of the Junior Class, with a beautiful mantle of blue and white which he was to keep in behalf' of our class until we the class of '26 should pass it to the class of '2'7. ..37..,-

v W THE JACK O' L-iN'l'EllX On May Znd. several members of the class motored to Philipsburg to select favours for the Senior Reception. Both committees were busy at this time since their first really big undertaking was set for May 12 just a day or so before the Senior's two week vacation. May 12th arrived and Juniors could be seen running all over the place, strips of paper trailing along the ground, and their mouths muf- fled with pins and tacks and fingers which were hit without mercy instead of the tacks which were to hold the decorations, and their heads all in a whirl, murmuring to one another We'll never in the world be ready for tonight. But We were ready and the evening proved a great success. We wish to thank the lower classmen for their co-operation in putting this event over. HORRORS-it-Examinations. The finals began the third week in May and the Juniors were too busy studying or should I say cram- ming to interest themselves in any other events of the school, We hope to be as successful in our Senior Year as all the Seniors have been before us. Classp'26 ,L its Brickey Mills is trying to make love to all the girls ever since the last show, Springtime.', We didn't think you could be so f'sheiky Brickey. At last the long sought solution to Fid Saupp's conduct has been found. Miss Weber says he is childish. What do you think of political parties? Don't know. Never been to any. -W. Va. Moonshine.
