THE PILGRIM JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September Sth, 1911 among the throng of High School p-upils that mounted the steps to fthwis revereld-edifice were about sixty young people whom ithe others persisted in looking ufpon with a slighltly scornful air, and classintg as Ereslhies. We fdiidn't 'mind this much as we had, long ago, heard that this must be our title. Wttnh quaking hearts, but with outward com- posure, we mounted those steps and fou-nd our way to the destined Freshie end of mhe Assembly-accompanied with the usual applause by our uplper classmen, especially the dignified Sophomores. Of course we were rather timid at first -hut in a few weeks we learned that he had to descend several liights of confusing stairs to reach ,the LaJbr1atory, that the English ,room was at the far end of the hallg that the Reference table was a rather diginvilied place to study, that all Freshmen, especially boys, had to be initiated, and that we were supposed to have a Class Meeting. Finally we stored uwp enough courage to have a meeting called. With a little aid on the part of the Faculty, Chester Tompson was eletced presi- dentg Bertis Tomlinson, viceapresidentg 'Grace Milner, secretary, and Lloyd Keyser, treasurer. During this year the Freshmen made it known to their upperolasstmen that although they were Freshmen 'they possessed an abtunfdtance of intellect. Then when the last of May came we left our title to the nexlt class. When we again ascended the steps the next Sepitemfber we were.Sopho- mores. 'Oair-icliass has somewhat diminished this year, for now we num- berab-out lthirtyf a. number having dropped out and a couple coming in. This year the Presidental c-hair was given to Lloyd Keyserg vice-president to Grace Milnerg the .report book to one of our new members, Helen Grierg and the money box was entrusted 'to .Bettis Tomlinson. During this year we as Sophomores distinrguished ourselves on the Honor Roll, and in the Oiratorical Preliminary our .representaltiv-es, Ruth Rhinehart and Chesiter T'hom'pson,, ran the Seniors -alolase race.
