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 ?

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.

The junior Echo I fav - .-we Junior Class Poem By Mary LeFrois Three short years we've Worked together juniors of the O. H. S. We have made a brave endeavor To reach the harbor of success. While we try to be jolly ever And join in on all the fun, Yet there's always time to study For our lessons must be done. First, the Juniors think of duty, Then come on with any sport, Weill defeat the best of classes On the diamond or the court. Our ideals are high and righteous, In our work and in our play. VVe shall keep them e'er before us, And we'll practice them each day, To our good old school and teachers, We shall give a rousing cheer. While our class we think of always And our Alma Mater dear, VVith our colors e'er before us, With the blue and white for guide, We shall e'er go marching onward, And we'll point to them with pride. One more year remains before us. We shall try our level best To make our class all that it should be To make it shine above the rest. 'QM' A young city fellow had just arrived at a fashionable resort to pass a few weeks. He went walking down the beach trying to find something to do when he met an old fisherman mending nets. He stood and watched him for a while, then said: Have you seen any wrecks around here lately P The fisherman looked up and answered: You're the first. SI
