fCGw Junior Class History Hurrah for the juniors! We now consider ourselves nearly as learned as the superior seniors, for next year we will have climbed to their place on the ladder of knowledge. As freshmen, we organized our class in September, 1924. Green and white, the former quite appropriate for freshmen, were chosen as class colors and Miss Webb and Miss Redman were selected as class advisors. Elmer Chappell, who seemed very efficient, took up the duties of president. The first social event we participated in was a masquerade party in the old “gym”, which was voted an entire success by the majority of the class who attended it. Sophomores! When we came back to Mynderse the next year, w'e considered ourselves vastly above the level of freshmen. At the first meeting the lordly Jack O’Brien w'as elected president, while Paul Alford, as vice-president, assisted him. Green and white as class colors were discarded, and orange and blue became our emblem. The class advisors. Miss Webb and Miss Finnimore, aided us in putting on two very successful parties, one a Hallowe’en party in the old “gym”, and later a progressive party in the gymnasium of the new school. Both were a decided success, especially the latter which was the first party to be given in the new school. Juniors! There is scarcely one of us who does not realize our importance, for are w'e not upperclassmen with the top nearly in view? At the first meeting in October, Jack O’Brien was again chosen president while Edwin Medden was elected vice-president and Faith Moran, secretary and treasurer. Plans were discussed with the class advisors, Miss Holbrook, Miss Competello and Mr. Davidson, for a Valentine party to be given on Lincoln’s birthday. The seniors, post-graduates and the teachers were invited. The gymnasium was attractively decorated with red crepe paper and red hearts. Music was provided for those who wished to dance, while games were open to others. Everybody had an enjoyable evening and as a result we are confident of making the Junior Prom, with the help of our faculty advisors, the most successful dance ever given in the newr school. Thus, lacking only one more chapter, the history of the class of ’28 is completed. E. I. B„ ’28. Page 29
