THE TRIPLE D JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY With high hopes and ambitions thirtyfone students emerged from beneath the protecting wing of the grade teachers, in 1926. After the Hrst shyness had worn off, they decided that it was time they were following the custom of their ancestors-to hold a class meeting to select class oflicers. After having learned the declension of amo and could find the value of X a reasonable number of times correctly, they were thought to have received sufficient knowledge to enable them to become Sophomores. They had lost several of their companions somewhere between the declension of femina and the conjunction of cap1o. Again they had a class meeting and the following officers were elected: Eugene Myers, President, Orzo Brown, VicefPresidentg Myrth Miller, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Spencer served faithfully as Class Sponsor until the latter part of the year, then Mr. Hunter took the ollice. Their class colors were red and white and the class motto On to Victory. They proudly wave their colors and banners in a grand parade the day following their victory at the Class Tournament. On Monday, September 10, 1928, nineteen students again entered P. H. S., all of whom were impressed with a degree of dignity, but this soon wore off and they became as giggly as ever. They held their usual Scottish Rites and as a result, Allen Asher was elected Presif dent, Orzo Brown, VicefPresidentg Orpha Hacker, Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr. Hunter was unanimously elected sponsor. After much discussion and delay, red and white were chosen for class colors, the class flower, LilliesfoffthefValleyg the motto, Upward Ever, Downward Never. The names of the students who once belonged to the junior class and have gone astray are: Ruby Haase, Edgar Hastings, Rosemary Walters, and Ripley Goss, all of whom have enrolled in other schools. Bernice jones also ,left the class to marry a graduate of P. H. S. Clarence Collier and Keith Taylor dropped back into another class. Fairy Gray, Dorothy Lewis, Lowell Brasier, Harley Marsh, Walter Goss, con' ceiving the idea that they had enough education, also departed from P. H. S. CLASS POEM We've passed the Freshman mile post, And the one for Sophomores, And now we're working very hard To finish up the Course. We're a Class of jolly juniors: We'll never be a bum: We'll say farewell on a certain day When 1930 comes. Page Twenty-eight ll

THE 'TRIPLE D CLASS SONG We're the Senior Class of Paragon, And as we come to School We feel our great importance, And we try to keep the rule. We know you frown with envy Whene'er we pass you by, We can hear you say You Seniors, And then shake your heads and sigh. n 'Twas a happy day when our class did say We're Seniors dignified, And we'll do our best, to pass each test And make some grades beside. We're so happy now each morning When we hear the school bell ring, But we'Il all regret to leave you When we graduate next Spring. We started in as Freshmen And as Sophomores we did shine, And then last year as juniors We came right up the line. So now this year as Seniors, We must be calm and cool, To bring credit to our teachers And to our dear old School. 'Twas a happy day when they all did say The tennis court is done. We grabbed our balls and rackets, too And oh, did we have fun. We're all proud of our Campus It is pleasing to the eye, And we pledge ourselves to honor Dear Old Paragon High. Page Twenty-seven
