JUNIOR CLASS HISTCRY IN SCHOOL life, even as in Nature Leaves have their time to fall and flowers to wither so the autumn of our days has come just when we are ready for it. The buds of our Freshman year, grown into flowers of Sophomore development have become brilliant foliage of our autumn harvest. The reaping of our harvest brought with it the glad Thanksgiving of November. We were thankful we would so soon be Seniors, and that we had been able to achieve so much. The first event of the season was the election of class officers. The president elected was Mary Jane F rain, whose outstanding work throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years was acknowledged. Milton Utz was chosen vice-president and Genevieve Mitchell, secretary-treasurer. To athletics and dramatics the Juniors contributed outstanding support. Several members were elected to the Mercet Beam and Thesaurus staff and their work in this activity was noteworthy. But the season was not all glory and victory. There were tests and with all our wisdom there was much more to be desired. Our year of fruitage has passed and we are on the threshold of a new season-Seniors. Page 22

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY IN THE fall of '30 we boarded the good ship Learning and under the seal of Mercy Academy started out to find the chart of Treasure Island, our diplomas. During the first year we only encountered one hardship, a hur- ricane which was in the form of an initiation. Being real sailors we survived and sailed peacefully on through the Sea of Education. Mary Louise Johnston was chosen as Captain, Loretta Lock, lst mate, Bernice Wright 2nd mate and Eulah Paulin purser, with the class as crew. The second year we went sailing over that mighty sea with Eulah Paulin as Captain, Elizabeth Wright lst mate, and Bernice Wright 2nd mate. A new member of the crew was Jane Davis. On our second year's journey we encountered various monsters, examinations which took hideous formsg typhoons, that threatened to overwhelm us completely. However, we were well organized and with the aid of our devoted teachers, we reached the end of the second year without losing any of our crew. In our third year we expect to do great things and take part in everything. In the fourth and last we aim to find our Treasure Island in which we will find the chart, our diplomas, that will send us sailing on the Sea of Life. Page 24
