Reader, now you have the chance of your lifetime. Here you rome face to face with a crowd of the most illustrious men and women tto bel in the world. 'Tis not every one has a look at so many renown- ed personages. We surely remember the first day we came to P. H. S. You know some how or other we had imagined this building was full of giants and dragons unbelievable. We decided we would come two by two so that we would not have to share our fear alone. But wonder of wonders! When we came we entered one of the most lovely kingdoms. The air just seemed filled with good cheer and companionship. When our marveling abated in some measure, we stopped to count our number and found we were thirty-eight strong and the largest class that had ever enteied Plainfield High School. Adapting ourselves very readily, -we soon organized and elected the following officers: president, Mager Dickson: vice president, Harold Cumberworthg secretary, Hilda Black. Out of this snappy bunch of Freshies came a yell leader who has kept things going for three years. And in Discussion contest the honors came to us, for out of a number of live, including Seniors, Soph- omores, and one Freshman. the Freshman, Bruce I Wilson won first place. After a year of c mtinued work and good times,we sadly left behind our glorious days of Freshmanhood. In the Autumn of 1919 we entered the portals of a 'new kingdom and found it even more pleasant than the first. As we climb the stairs we hear the sound, All Hail! the Sophs are here. Yes, they are here, ready again to enter into that comraderie spirit which we found so pleasant last year. and again to scale the wall of knowledge under our able Faculty. I We are the same healthy bunch, ready to enter into work and play with vim and go, and to ever strive toward that goal which we have set before us. We are again fulfilling prophecy. In the Primary Con- testlvlarcus Dixon won first place in speaking and Katherine Hiatt won first in singing. We also received two seconds. And now again another year comes to its close and we are out for a long happy summer. Early on September 6, 1920 we hear the merry chime of the old school bell ringing clear on the morning air. It is time to begin a new school year. We have had our play and now we are to have our work for we don't want all play and no work. That might dull the pages of history we have so brilliantly filled before. We are now Jolly Joniors and the name fits us perfectly. Our only regret is that we have grown too large for our dear old building and have been placed into a new one. For memories of our old school will always be closely cherished and associated with the good times we had there. Still the beautiful campus and the convenience of the new building have in a way reconciled us. This year we are very proud of ourselves in the line of sports. We have four regulars on the girls' team, namely: Katherine Hiatt, Veva Griffin, Gladys Roach and JuliaKreider. Our boys' team has also made a fine showing and we were certainly pleased with them when they went into the fray on March ll, and defeated our poor little friends, the Sophomores. The love of a fair game, the team work and the spirit of our boys and girlsmake a bright outlook for next year's athletics. Our officers now are president, Harold Bowmang secretary-treas urer, Geraldine Calbert. In the Oratorical Contest Katherine Hiatt won first and Marcus Dixon won second in singing. In discussion Julia Kreider won first and Bruce Wilson second. In reading Marcus Dixon won second. So after all, our friends the Seniors don't take all the honors ofthe school. And so another year has come and gone. Our faculty has safely carried us over the shoals and rocks and have brought us to la point where we can almost penetrate the veil of the Future with confidence that we will win no matter what ohstructs our path. So never doubt. The Freshmen 's strength in numbers The Senior's strength in books Or the Sophomores for their blunders Or the Juniors for real good looks.
