U., because Libert} had not and did not lose a game the whole season, and too, they had beaten W. U. a few weeks before, although we played them and showed great improvement since we played W. U. The third game was our equal in weight. This game was with Sumner High of Kansas City, Kan., and we were so used to playing teams over our weight and equal that we fairly ran away with Sumner, 39 to 0. Our fourth and last game of the season was played Thanksgiving day in St. Louis, Mo., against Sumner High School. We again went out of our equal and weight, although we never backed out because we were always ready to take a’ trial with any team once. Afternoon came and about time for the game it began drizzling rain which lasted almost the whole game through. The ball was kicked off, the old gold and blue crashed with the white and maroon and the game was on. The shouts from the grand- stand could have been heard for miles away. Lemuel Williams was hurt in the third quar- ter and this was another defeat to add to our list, because with the great difference in Y. eight and experience we were defeated.

FOND RECOLLECTIONS When we received our certificate on that memorial day, the thought that filled our minds was that we would be ‘High School students the coming year. But alas ! the year to which we had been looking forward so anxiously was a disappointment at the first For, we went to school the first school day with our programs and not being accustomed to the various rooms and not knowing where to find them often asked one of the Upper Class students about its locality and, as a result, were directed to the wrong room and. we, in our greenness, often rushed in the rooms were in progress. We all survived this embrassment and soon were enjoying our Freshman year. The next year although we were not called ‘Freshies were nothing but Freshmen over, for we were not of any more consequence. But nevertheless we had many good times and considered ourselves as good a class as any and were looking forward to our junior year. At last the ‘junior year arrived and we were enrolled. Immediately we begin to enjoy our- selves for no one slighted us and we we were merry and happy. Of course we were disap- pointed frequently. While, Geometry puzzled us all and Physics was a mystery and Cicero difficult, we reveled in Rhetoric and History Now as our eventful, happy junior year is drawing to a close we are now looking for- ward to our Senior year. What will it hold for us? — Third Year Reporter. THE NEW JUNIOR Y. W. C. A. CLUBS. About March 29, the Junior girls were or- ganized into the Y. W. C. A. Club by Mrs. Todd, Miss Venerable, and Miss Simms. We were divided into two sections numbers One and Two. After we were organized we chose our names, number one being called “Fleur De Lis ..’ and number two “American Beauty” Clubs. The purpose of these clubs is “To Learn Something, to Do Something for Others and to Have a Good Time.” The A. B. C. Club has already adopted a pair of twins from the Orphans’ Home. We agreed to assist in cloth- ing them. On Thursday, May 3, the two clubs gave a delightful social together. Miss Gertrude Baker was our guest. We played games after which the chairmen of the social committees, Beatrice Baston and Annie. Weaver, served us a very dainty lunch. We hope in the near future we will have a Y. W. C. A. building in which to entertain our clubs. American Beauty Club — Doris Wells, Pres.; Ceola Farley, Sec’y. Fleur de Lis Club — Beatrice Parson, Sec’y.
