JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY For eight long years our class had sailed on as good a hark as was ever built. 1 he only fault we had to find with so sturdy a craft was that we. its builders, had never christened it. e were sailing on an uncertain sea; yet happy, careless, always, cheerful would we be. We found as we sailed we left no trace of our progress—but because of our nameless craft we came to ports, passed on. and forgot their. This occurred for seven long years in spite of our constant labor, strife, and struggle. The last of eight years we drifted into the auditorium of the M. H. S. From then to evermore, whenever we are seen, wherever our footsteps fall, we are known and called as the crew of the Freshmen class of 1920. Dur- ing this year’s vogage the sea we sought was preyed upon by many pirate ships, some bearing the names of Sophomore. Junior, and Senior. There were thirty members in our crew the year of the Freshman voyage. I dare sav all enjoyed their visit to places where Latin was the native tongue, and all were delighted in exploring the unknown country in Algebra. The second year we were claimed as the hands of the gallant ship “Sophomore.” We found our crew greatly reduced for only twenty-four There is a place and to spare for your frank young smile.—Naomi Chesser.

+■ had survived that first and appalling year in exploring the lands of isdom. Undaunted by the loss of our fellow-mates we determined to make the best of our fate as it was decreed upon us. After nine months had passed we had made the entire trip through Caesar’s Gallic wars, and had visited all the countries in the Ancient History class. The captain again called all hands on deck and this time only seven- teen members enrolled for the third voyage. Of this voyage 1 cannot give a full account, for history cannot be written before history is made. Al- though our voyages have been varied we touched the shores of all contin- ents well known to Juniors the world over. In the commercial class we be- came acquainted with the regular touch of the typewriter. Before long we had lost ourselves in its jungles of letters, figures, and punctuation marks. Some of the bravest members tried once more to search out unknown chan- nels of Advanced Algebra, Chemistry, or Science. As we near the close of our voyage we find. that, deep down in our hearts, we are really and truly sorry that we are so near the end of our educational journey. I will confide to you, in consideration of the Seniors, that in closing this brief of so wonderful a career, that so great progress was due to the fact that we have followed in their footsteps. —Lorraine Hayes ’24. ,« ,4 ,4 FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS OF OUR FACULTY Stice—“I'll see about it.” Lemme—“All right!
