“JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY.’’ President Clydk Mom;an Vice President—Mari km Smith Secretary and Treasurei—Etiikl Bristol Another year has passed and onr right to he called Juniors is almost a thing of the past. Do you realize that next year will he our last in the High Schools Why, it seems as only yesterday that we were Freshmen and receiving more than the ordinary amount of sarcasm, “slams,” etc-Even now we are not entirely free from such distasteful speeches. l)o you remember how we all disliked Botany when we were Soph-1 oinores, and the time we had to find seeds to illustrate the different methods of seed scattering' You know none of us did this at the time it should have been done and at the end of the first semester we were told we could not pass unless we had those seeds. We finally found enough, hut we had a difficult task set for us, for there was snow on the ground and most of the seeds had been blown away weeks before. We had many good times this year in spite of the fact that Geometry !o med up like a thundercloud over the heads of some of us. Another one of the pleasures of our high school life is Lyceum. Lyceum has an added! horror for Juniors and Seniors, for to us the word means debate and de--bate means downright hard work. We had a series of Junior-Senior de-; bates this year which resulted for us in one defeat and two victories. As to the entertaining side of our high school days, what could be more amusing than to watch the Sophomores prepare a spread and then to note their chagrin as the Juniors calmly walked off with the dainties and transformed the event into a Junior feast. Of course by saying this was amusing, I mean amusing to everyone except the Sophomores. Certainly those present on that memorable day did not think the Sophomores possessed a sense of humor. As Juniors we, of course, had to give the Seniors a reception. The only fun about that was to know that we had done our duty. Another enjoyable event was our trip to Brandon. Everyone naturally enjoys sitting up all night and reaching home at seven o’clock in the morning. Perhaps none of you know that when the school went to Fond du Lac to have their pictures taken, the only class that was all there was the Junior. Now can anyone say. after reading this, that the Juniors haven’t any class spirit? In numbers, the class of 11)11 ranks a little above the average of this High School. We still have with us thirteen of our original twenty-two members, and adding to this, one who entered our lists this year, makes our total number fourteen. Altho the girls outrank the boys almost three to one, there are no disputes among the Junior classmates as to escorts for there are always plenty of boys ready to act this part, at least to some of the girls. Of our twent.v-two original members there are the following left;—Clyde Morgan, our class president; Mariem Smith, our vice-president and Oak Leaves editor; Ethel Bristol, our secretary and treasurer;
