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 combination of purple and lilac were chosen as class colors and flowers. Five students have withdrawn from the class. They are Byrl Ross, and Elizabeth Brown, who have entered other schoolsg Wendell Wampler, Ivan Hinson, and Surrel Knoy have quit. A Sophomore class party was given at the home of Irene Potter November 10, 1928.

U CLASS' POEM A class of Sophomores you see, Who now resolve to work and try To make worth while the two more years, That they will spend ar Paragon High. They've had their Freshman ups and downs, And learned to stand for what is right. They're ready to go on their way, With happy hearts and prospects bright. Page Thirty
