Junior Class History By RUTH SPRY N the fall of 1921, the Junior Class entered the Junior High School as fresh- men. It was a class of more than one hundred members. Our freshman year was an uneventful one, but it gave much promise of the years to come. As Sophomores' we soon acquainted ourselves with the nerw surround- ings at the Senior High building. Our members began at once to take a pro- minent part in musical, athletic, and social organizations. We enjoyed our sophomore year very much, and looked forward with anticipation to our junior year. A few there iwere who fell at the wayside, and the lure of California has called away some of us, but still we are the same old Junior class. This year we are showing are true Worth. The work of the Junior boys in football helped to win for us many victories. In basketball they are doing their best, and the whole class stands loyally by them and the other members of the team. The girls' basketball team, also, has worked hard and played lwell. The Junior representatives in the declamatory contest made a good showing, two of them taking first place in the dramatic humorous sections. We also took a prominent part in the musical and Dramatic organizations of the High School. A body of the schoolls most patriotic members went on a strike on the afternoon of Armistice Day. They celebrated by parading the streets and later by having a wiener roast in the grove. About two months from that time they celebrated again by taking the semester examinations. Thus far has the class of '25 progressed on its way to the traditional dignity and hard study of the senior class. Let each member do his part to make the class of '25 the best that ever graduated from Mount Pleasant High School.
