From the first we were watched by the Sophomores wlm hoped to relieve us of our freshness. However, we formed ranks, made definite plans and so evaded our enemies. Our very entrance into school was marked by the breaking of a record, we were the first to successfully escape a ducking in the well known high school fountain. Our ability for establishing new standards had been revealed. In the same year, because of our earnest desire for more of the knowledge, for which the institution is noted. Mr. Ballentine saw lit to establish the period from 1:00 to 1:15 as a study period exclusively. We take the honor of claiming that because of our interest in the school, the other classes have I.... bene- fit ted by the additional time spent at the desk instead of in idle chattering. As Freshmen we furnished much material for all activities. Five men on the football squad and three regulars is a record never equalled in J. H. S. Then, there was basketball, debate, orchestra, declamatory work, high school quartet and glee club in which our class was duly represented. A Sophomores we continued all we had started. We contributed live regulars to the football team, and three regulars and a sub to the basketball team. Again the orchestra and quartet had members from our class and the girls in declamatory work and glee club. The oratorical contest wa won by a Soph, and a member of the class of ’.I was made honor cadet of the school. In all branches of work and activities the class of 1921 was distinctly prominent. As Juniors, the combined forces of the remaining three classe cannot compete with us. The football team w’ith seven Junior regulars and the basketball team with a Junior captain, two other regulars and a sub. shows clearly that the Junior class is the class upon which J. H. S. depends for a good representation in Athletics. The orchestra is 50 percent Junior, and we are represented in the quartet. The Junior girls constitute a large part of the Glee Club, and the debate teams required the service of three from our ranks. It is the class of 1921 that accomplishes and excels. We have yet another year in which to display the spirit of our class. We will strive for greater achievements, that the class of 1921 will not be forgotten. B M. H.
