CAGE r M T SIX OH 51 History of the Junior Class The Junior class of Jefferson High Has a history which attracts the eye. Twelve years ago each latl and lass Tripped to school and formed our class. From the farms they came, from the vale and hill. From neighboring towns our ranks to 111). Some started on the east side, some on the west. Endeavoring to pass the routine test. I.ittle we remember of younger days; Our time was spent in millions of ways. We passed the fifth grade, then we joined And the factions mingled our class was coined. The year was spent making friendships, until We were sent to the West Side against our will. The seventh grade was of basket ball fame; We defeated the eighth grade in all but one game. And the freshmen we tied, a record to envy. For who else has done it, we think not any. In the eighth grade our team was by no means a fake But debating interests our pep did awake. We scheduled a clash with J. C. north of here And won 2-1 the event of the year. We graduated this year on May 23rd And people assembled, our speeches they heard. The grade program was finished, High School was here When the large room we entered we shivered with fear. But Prof, soothed our condition and soon, it is true That our spirits arose, we were no longer blue. The Freshman year showed our class was not slow As the athletic record of J. II. S. shows Seven boys from our class were out for foot-ball. Two made the team but that was not all; For in the basketball games the Freshmen were loyal. One on the team and four out to toil. To the four out to toil no credit was thrown But the pep of our class in these records is shown. And too, in debate one from our crowd Made one of the teams and won. no wonder we’re proud. In our sophomore year our interests were turned To the athletic games for which we all yearn; For most of the men on the team you will find Were from our class; who says we're behind? Our Junior year was by far the best. Athletics and debate wc entered with zest. On the foot-ball team six Juniors played And many a brilliant score they made. And again in Debate the honors we took For on the team three Juniors spoke. The Junior Prom was a grand success. Each boy and girl was in full dress To give the Seniors a grand farewell And it sure was the greatest in quite a spell. The History is finished. I've told all we’ve done— The records we made, the laurels we’ve won. —J- R
