The Comet 1922 Junior Class History THE'FIFTY-TWO members of the Freshman Class in 1919. twenty-eight remained till the end of the term. All came back for the Sophomore year, which eighteen completed. These eighteen returned for the Junior year and showed evidences of being able to complete the work but Death called one. and another moved away, reducing our number to sixteen. These very few have done their best to carry out their duties. Our class has supplied half the girl's basketball team and five for the boy’s team, of which one standswerv high in athletics. Two of our classmates play in the High School orchestra, one a violin and the other a cornet. We have had two parties. The first was a Hallowe'en party in our Sophomore Year and the other the annual Junior party which was noted one of the best in a long time. We have been defeated by the Seniors in debate, but only gained ex- perience for the next time. Our future prospects arc very bright, although our number dropped from fifty-two to sixteen. These sixteen show fair signs of finishing their High School Course. MABEL OSWALD. Historian.

Sophomore Class History N THE FIRST of September 1920. a group of boys and girls, num- bering lifty-two, entered Nazareth High. This group, having com- pleted the elementary course of training in the grades of this borough and in the country schools nearby, entered Nazareth High for the purpose of conquering wider fields of knowledge. This as- semblage was known as the class of 1924. The class was divided into two divisions. Thirty students pursuing the Academic course and eighteen the Commercial and General courses. During the month of Scptcmbcra Literary Society was organized in each division. Weekly meetings were held under the supervision of Mr. Wirebach. During the winter the two divisions rendered a program in the High School Auditorium. Each program required considerable preparation and time to make it suitable for presentation before the upper classmen. At the opening of the second semester the class still numbered forty- eight. four having dropped out during the year. During the year the class upheld an honored custom of the school, that of presenting a picture to the art collection of N. H. S. After several meetings the class purchased a picture of Theodore Roosevelt, which was pre- sented to the school at a monthly meeting of the Literary Society. At the opening of school September 6. 1921. only thirty-six Sopho- mores returned to resume their studies, some having moved away, and others having gone to work. Among the Sophomores, there are several pianists, vocalists and violinists. '1'hc class of ’24 held a Hallowe'en party in the High School gym. It was the first class party and was enjoyed by all. It is true that the class of '24 has had many failures and successes during the first two years at High. Hut may the future years be as prosperous as the first two years in dear (Did Nazareth High.
