Lunior Echo f-'N 'WJ Editorial By Ruth Turner HIS is the second edition of the junior Echof' Our editorial board has worked long and hard with an untiring spirit, that we might give you a work of which we could be duly proud. Wle want to thank you all for your fine support, and especially our classmates for making possible the nnished pro- duct you no-w have before you. ' As our class is a large one, composed of twenty-two members, who were all brimming over with ambitious school spirit, great things were and are expected from us. We hope we have no-t dis- appointed you in your good opinions. At the first of the year we were told that it would be our task to publish the Annual. This news was met joyfully by the class and each one was willing to do his share. The motion was made that we call our book by the same title as that of the preceding year. This was voted upon and carried in our class. Gui' professor, Mr. Start, then suggested the plan of putting the motion before the un- der-classmen. This plan was carried out and met with their ap- proval also. The custom is therefore established that each suc- ceeding classgw its edition of the annual The junior Echo. We have tnade it our aim to give you a book to show what we are, by our best efforts, able to accomplish and not simply an in- strument by which to obtain your money. We want you to be proud of us for what we are and what we have done. Through our faithfulness to our work in this effort we have been able to give you a larger book, containing pictures and more pages than that of the preceding year. We will not say it is better than last year's but will leave that for you to decide. Gur only wish is, that we have succeeded in our great ambition.

Ontario High School c-fi wb Increasing ever as the years flow on, But ere the child to age has grown, we know Thru' pleasant paths of learning he must go Before engaging in the sturdy work of life Vifhere all around there's pain and care and strife. As students we have come to where today From out these pleasant fields we take our way. Thus far our lives have been all gladness everywhere, But now we hasten to the life of care. Uur teachers in this school have been most kind, We understand quite well we'll never find Such friends again to- help us on our way, So cheerful and so willing as were they. Now, we confess we oft were very bad, But for our mischiefs we are truly sad. Still always in our schoolwork, be it known To all the lower classes we have shown The noble way to learning and to fame And blazed the trail for them the way we came. But now the time has come to leave this place, To go into the world its care to face. Yet we will go where duty calls us ever Forever moving onward, like the river, To bear our portion of the great world's work VVhere none must dare to falter or to shirk. En Avant, forward, always be our aim As we toil on and up to heights of fame. With steadfast purpose we will onward go, As toward the sea the river keeps its flow. Thus to the stars thru' strife welll ever climb And rest not till we reach those heights sublime. Then here's to the brave class of twenty-three, The noblest, bravest class you'll ever see. Our banner with its silver and old rose Now leading, on before us ever goes. Then here's to the teachers who have helped us thru' Here's to the boys and girls so nobly true, May each have happiness with wealth and fame, Success and joy, and a world-wide honored name. l l M r. Start- In what course do you expect to graduate, John? John-Oh, in the course of time. 28

Ontario High School pins, which were diamond-shaped, with a center of cardinal and a border of gold, representing our class colors. In June, 1921, the Sophomores Qthe present Senior classj joined with us in giving the high school picnic at Pultneyville the day after commencement. Near the close offour summer vacation we were saddened by the death of our president, Mildred Turner. In 1921, when we returned as S-ophomores, only twenty-two students remained of our former thirty-four. Early in the year we met and organized, electing j. Donald Fewster, president, Mel- ville Sheahen, vice-presidentg Ruth Turner, secretary, and Ethel Young, treasurer. We changed our colors to cardinal and gold, and Be Square QBZJ was chosen for the motto, with sweet peas as the class flower. At the close of this schoo-l year the high school picnic was again given by the Sophomores and Freshmen at Pult- neyville. On returning as juniors in the fall of 1922, we found that there were twenty-two students in our ranks. This, our Junior year, has been the best and liveliest of all. We met in September and or- ganized. Carlton Cone was elected president, Doris Huxley, vice- presidentg Ruth Turner was re-elected secretary and J. Donald Fewster was elected treasurer, VVe chose the same class co-lors and the same class flower as we selected in our Sophomore year. Gne night early in October a Junior party was held at the home of our president, Carlton Cone, where a rollicking good time was enjoyed by all who were present. In November most of the Juniors attended Julius Caesar , the Shakespearian play which we studied in the early part of our English course this year. In January We selected and purchased our class rings with which we were all very pleased. We are all anticipating a year of work and enjoyment in our Senior year. We hope that everyone will return next year and make our graduating class the largest ever. ' ' Teacher in civics- What is the duty of the lieutenant-gow ernor ?
