History of the Junior Class One bright morning in September, 1912, a crowd of about thirty Freshmen entered the High School Assembly. We were ridiculed and called “green” by the upper classmen. But it was only a little while they could do this for we began to fade until we were our natural color. Then—look out—we stood for good work. The first year we achieved as much as any Freshmen. Of course, none of us became representatives or senators, but we were ready to begin our Sophomore year. Now that we were Sophs we could laugh at the Freshmen. We organized a Latin Club and all those taking Latin shared in the fun. When it came to the preliminary contest we show¬ ed the upper classmen what we could do; we took first and third place in orations and second in readings. In the declam¬ atory contest we held second place. That year we also won second place in the Track Meet. A “Literary Society” was held every two weeks. In this our class played an active part. The last day of our Sophomore year the Latin Club went to the park for a good time. Each member of the club invited a guest so there were about fifty in all. We roasted wienies and marshmallows and took home as souvenirs, mosquito bites. This year we entered school as Jolly Juniors and every one of us does his level best to keep the former class standard. Six new scholars were added to our number and they help make our class the best of all. A Literary Society in English is held each Tuesday to supplement the regular course. Four of our boys are members of the Boys’ Glee Club and two are on the first basket ball team. More Juniors were exempt from the mid-year examinations than members of any other class. This shows we are not asleep. When spelling was in¬ troduced in the school the Juniors took individual and group honors for exemptions. In the Discussion contest we were given second and third places. Now we are about ready to greet the spring and be no longer Juniors, but Seniors. We hope still to hold our banner high and pass from the High School as extremely dignified Seniors. —Gladys Tilton, ’16.
