JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The present Junior Class of eighty members is an unusually composite group. Not one of its number has attended Pikeville Graded School and Pike- ville High School for the entire course. In September, 1923, nine timid youngsters from the College Primary De- partment enrolled in the fourth grade of Pikeville Graded School to become the nucleus of the class of 1931. This number, augmented from time to time by enrollments from other schools, and promotions from other groups, reached its maximum size in the second semester of the Freshman year, 1927-1928, when sponsored by Miss Marshall and Mr. Boswell, the class numbered one hundred and twenty-five. Since then it has been alternately augmented and depleted by trans- ferred enrollments, accelerated promotions, demotions incident to part time work, withdrawals, and even death, until now, there are eighty names upon the class roll. These represent a class that for three years has been outstanding in group and individual achievements. The winning of first honors in the Armistice Day Parade and in respond- ing to the S. O. S. call from the hospital with second honors for attendance at the Art Exhibit, in freshman year, gave this group a desirable taste of the thrill of right conduct, so they have always cooperated for group achievement. The class of 1931 can point with pride to the unanimous enrollment of both boys and girls in the Hi-Y and Y. W. C. A. Bible Study groups during their three years in high school. The group has taken active part in many desirable extra-curricular activi- ties: They won places on the first squads in athletics as freshmen and have been represented in all major sports sponsored by the school each year since. They are represented by officers and members in The English, Latin, French, Science, Athletic and Dramatic clubs. The best poem written in P. H. S. this year was the work of a junior. A junior will represent the school in the district contest for honors in the oratorical contest on the constitution. Numerous juniors have been outstandingly successful as teachers in the county this year. We are glad to be known as a group of workers, but we aren ' t dull because of no play. There have been parties and picnics in abundance each year. Long after the names of kings and queens have vanished, with hundreds of other things we ' ve learned, the way our teachers and classmates smiled at us and the jolly times we had together will linger in memory.
