THE MOUNTAIN EAR Junior Class Histor President--Milburn Riley. Vice President-Howard Collins. Secretary-Ada Vandegrift. Treasurer-Nell Ruberry. Mere words cannot do justice to the admir- able record and accomplishment which the class of '24 has made for itself since 1921, when about thirty-five smiling faces appeared at Pennsboro High School. The whole school looked at them with amazement, not because they were so green, but because of their de- termined and enthusiastic look. By the end of the year under the leadership of their ac- complished faculty, no other class could sur- pass them in athletics, in studies, or even in having a good time. The next year, when they came back as Sophomores, their former class number had decreased a little, but new ones came in and kept the number up to the standard. There has been no high school activity, social, ath- letic or scholastic, in which the class has not been well represented. More fame was won in athletics than in the preceding year, as several Sophomore boys were added to the different athletic teams, and some of the' girls succeeding in being placed on the basketball team. While supremacy in athletics was one of the prominent and brilliant features of the Sophomore class, mental training was not neg- lected and the class room work was up to the standard. The third year has proved the busiest in the h'story of the class. First was the Lyceum Course, which was managed and put over the top by the Juniors. Then basketball season opened with four Juniors on the girls' team, and three substitutes. The boys' team was made up of one Sophomore, three Juniors, and one Senior. Several Junior boys' were out for track and made a good showing. No more was needed to be said of the Juniors' athletic ability after the class tournament, as the Juniors won both the boys' and girls' tournaments. The Juniors made a success of something that had never been attempted by the High School since it originated-the publication of a school paper, The Mountain Ear. One good trait of the class is their excellent team-work, as shown when they had the Carnival. Everyone did his part, and as a result it was a great success. Great indeed has been their past history, and they are looking into the future with the same spirit that they had during their flrst three years at Pennsboro High School. J. M. W., '24.
