THE CREST 9 fduninra. Biff! Boom! Bang! Juniors! Oh, dear. What's that '? wailed a timid little Freshie. Why, .explained Mr. Moss, that is our most important class in the Murray High School-the Juniors. They are the life of the school, not only in athletics and dramatics, but in their classes also. cc Oh, I wish I were a Junior, wistfully replied our little Freshie friend. They must be a large class to be able to take such an active part in school and do such wonderful things. That, laughed Mr. Moss, is the wonderful thing about it. They are the smallest class in the school 3 but then, as you have no doubt heard, the best things often come done up in small packages. So it is with the J uniors. Please tell me something more about that splendid class ? eagerly begged the poor little Freshie. That is a long story, replied Mr. Moss, but as I am noted-thanks to the help of my splendid friends, the Juniors-for being able to say a great deal in a few words, I will give you a brief history of the J uniorsf' Oh, thank you! said the bashful little Freshie, setting his queer little awkward self down on the bottom step and gazing up admiringly at our principal. Three years ago, began Mr. Moss, a different shade of green ap- peared at Murray High than we had ever seen before. It was such a bright brilliant green that all of the teachers expected a great deal of such brilliant students-and their expectations have never fallen below par. In fact, during all their three years of high school they have always been at the head of everything noble. Tell me something about each one of them, will you, Mr. Moss ? pleaded the small Freshie. To start with, Mr. Moss responded, this class has been called the 'old bachelors' class,' because all of the girls who were naturally supposed to be in it will graduate this year. But that only shows what Juniors can do. Yes, indeed! marveled friend Freshie. The boys who are in the class now, continued Mr. Moss, are among if not the most popular 'old bachelors' in school. And -it is only right that they should be, for they are well worthy to fill that honorable position. Clayton is especially popular, as can be seen by the offices he holds. Besides being president of his class, he is also president of the chorus and business manager-a very busy one he is, too. He was the main char- acter in the play that we staged, in fact, if it had not been for the two Juniors, Clayton and Wayne, who were in the play, it would have been a failure. Clayton is also one of our best men in all of our athletics. '4Archie is the industrious one of the class, being just as bright now as when he first appeared. Although very quiet, we know that he is a deep thinker, or else how could he get all of those A's that appear on his re ort? p Here Mr. Moss paused, seemingly perplexed.

Moss, they are having a Junior rally, and that reminds I promised to be present, so I must leave you. - I would advise you, my young friend, that if you wish to make a success in life, that you ihitch your wagon to a Junior,' and it will lead you to success.

And may I live a thousand, too, A thousand less a day, For I would hate to be on earth And hear that you had passed away. In one burning flash came a sudden full realization that We, the Sophomores, were the life of Murray High School. We have done more. to arouse school spirit and support the activities of the school than any one class this year. Nowhere has a more ideal class been so readily recognized than that of the Sophomores. The distinctive features of the past year has been the progress and notoriety of the Sophs. We all look back upon a record of more than four years of the noble service the Sophs have rendered to the school, and the entire school now rests its present work securely upon the progress and Welfare of this class. Our aims and accomplishments are so well known that extended references to them are unnecessary. In relation to all other classes, special attention is called that although we have had as many as two parties a week we have missed neither sleep nor come unprepare-d to English the next day.
