Junior ('lass History In 1929, we, the present Junior Class, started as pioneers from the old settlement (Grade School) to begin a new life. We founded the Freshman Colony, consisting of ninety people. We needed order in our new homes so we elected as overseers and officers Mr. Myers, Mrs. Eekhoff, Harriet Challans, Dick Engelhart, Anna Kurilla, and Everett Lewev. We settled near the Sophomore Colony, with whom we had many good times. We had been a peaceful colony for nine weeks until the Indians (Exams) attacked us; but we shouldered our guns (brains) and they helped us win the battle. During the year we suffered three more attacks from the Indians, but were able to resist all of them with few casualties. However, we felt ourselves in a very dangerous place and we were anxious to make new discoveries, so we settled a new colony and named it Sophomore. We needed some new overseers and officers so we elected Miss Pircher, Mr. Cosner, Raymond Goodwin, Ruth lTnderwood, Anna Modak, and Ellen Kanke. We had remained only nine months in this settlement when we again became anxious to move on. We made a third settlement and named it the Junior Colony. We elected Miss Ronchetti, Mr. Barth, Darwin Gibson, George Bertolino, Helen Read, and Nellie Carroll as overseers and officers for the new colony. We gave a play entitled “Dangerous Men,” and we entertained the Seniors very appropriately at the Junior-Senior banquet. We had sixteen colonists on the honor roll, six on the football team, and nine on the basketball team. One day some highly educated people told us of a place where we could raise great crops of knowledge, so we have gathered our people together and have decided to make one more journey, which we hope will make us prosperous.—(b.k.)
