JfU'NliQR HIESTORY The year of 1920 will always go down in the annals of school history for in that year a group of young people entered La Crosse Rural High School, whose greatest desire was to become as well edu- cateld as those honored and dignified Seniors. with whom they came in con ac . , The first few weeks were a horror to these young Freshmen as they were called. The rest of the school. especially the Solphomores. seemed to find great pleasure in tormenting them. Their feet were aired and the girls were taken back to childhood days, by braiding their hair in a multitude of small braids. As the upper classmen tired of this sport, the Freshmen had a few days of peace. Their teachers seeing this, piled great loads of wfork upon them, and demanded that it be in on time. Their hair turned gray during these days and lines of worry appeared on their faces. But little they cared. for they were to be Sophom-ores the next year and so their first year of high school passed. After three months they met again: some of the old group had left. while a few new ones joined their class. They took great joy in inflicting punishm-ent to the Freshmen of this year. After a few weeks they had to settle down for Mr. Wedel. the geometry teacher that year had a peculiar fancy that did not suit the Sophomores at all. That was: Memorize Theorem so and so and be able to prove it. They studied industriously all the year long with never a minute of rest. They were repaid at the end of the year. by promotion to the Junior Class. With this good news. they departed to their homes, eagerly awaiting the opening of school in September, when they would shine as Juniors. We began our third year of school with an enrollment of twenty- six. Although some of our classmen dropped school and some decided to finish school in three years. a few students from other schools joined us and thus we were consoled. Early in the year every Junior resolv- ed to w1ork hard and do his best to make the school year a success. Many difficulties arose during this term but were as quickly met. Among the foremost of these was the coming of Miss Terrell. When we found how much work she expected of us. our hearts sank within us and we thought we were very much abused. Horwever. we remembered our motto and went after the work with new entxhusiam, which only a student under Miss Terrell can understand. Days. weeks. and months went by, and we surprised ourselves with the amount of work we had accomplished. Strangely, too, we were still in perfect health. In spite of our hard work. we enjoyed ourselves and spent many happy times together. The school year is now steadily drawing to a close and after a few months var-ation we will be ready to take our places here again as honored Seniors.
