THE COMET Rt’. +=NINETEEN THIRTY Junior Class History rae Ea N September 13th, 1929, we arrived at P. M. H. S. to take Big SK P E LGN vgs. up the task of becoming highly educated men and women. The first few days of our Junior career were spent in cempos- Ris oe BMS fe ing a programme of studies. Football was in full sway, and we attended all home games in a body and lent our vocal powers in support to the team. Thanksgiving brought holidays, and for a few days we did not have te spend cur time making excuses for unpreparedness. From Thanks- giving till Christmas was just existence. The week following the Christmas holidays was a veritable night- . mare. Examinations were but three weeks off and, for some, repre- sented nothing short of a calamity. Exams over, the class settled down to a few months of easy breathing. In basketball our girls played a prominent part, furnishing the main part of the team. Bessie Graybill, Ruth McKee, Frances Bagby, Mabel Cox, Linda Dold, and Belle Dold were our representatives on the team. With Spring came romance. We received our class pins, and very soon afterward the pins began to appear and disappear from the bosoms of the ladies. ‘Just the passing fancies of young men in Spring.” Baseball commanded the attention of those who were determined to obtain their numerals. The baseball seascn of 1930 opened with a majority of players from the Junior Class. The old routine of classes, holidays, and exams carried the class to a happy close on May 3i1st, 1930. Then the BIG EVENT of the season! Our Junior-Senior Banquet! What could sound better—cr be better? There’s nothing we can say to describe it. We can only heave a heartfelt sigh.
