JUNIOR CLASS Junior Class History We entered High School in 1926 as lowly Freshmen, and are now1, thankfully, beginning to realize that our goal is almost reached. This class has had a reputation throughout the past, as being a ery peppy and outstanding group of people. Not a single item of all school activities have we omitted, and those boys and girls who have not taken actual part in athletics and oiher activities have been equally valuable because of the pep and the school spirit they have shown. Our boys have shown their “stuff” on the gridiron, baseball field and tennis courts. They have not only been active in athletics but also in such organizations as the honor society, glee club, band and orchestra. Several belong to that much prized society the Block “O” Needless to say this affords us great pride. The girls have stepped right along, also, in the boys tracks. They not only take part in all the school activities, but have been instrumental in arousing an enthusiasm for girls' sports which has been lacking the past few years. Much credit should be added to our account because we have in our ranks ‘Jimmie ft Eddie. the two peppy yell leaders. Truly we have not been lacking in spirit. We are now looking forward, with excited thrills, to being Seniors , and we say without hesitation that you will hear more of us next year.
