f?li« !Purpif av{d ItM Junior Class History. When we, the class of 1913, entered High School we were—well “just Freshman,” ignorant of a high school spirit and “green” as all other Freshmen seem to be. Upon entering, our enrollment was nearly twice as large as at present, for not a few of us have been forced to leave school and start out in this wide world before completing our high school course, so our number now is only thirty-two, twenty-one of the fairer sex and eleven of the sterner. We who are left have every reason to be thankful and consider ourselves fortunate as members of the class of 1913. This class has been more prominent in athletics than any other class. In basket ball this year, with the help of the many enthusiastic Juniors who rooted and cheered from the gymnasium track, the Junior class team won the championship with ease. Beyond any reasonable doubt the Junior team has set a pace in the athletic race that will be difficult to follow by any of the class teams of the future. Honors have also been bestowed upon us in oratorical and declamatory contests, one of our members receiving first place in the inter-class oratorical contest and was one to represent our school in league contest. In this, our Junior year, we look back smilingly on that year when we were innocent looking “Freshies.” Now that we have successfully passed the ordeal of consecutive examinations, we look forward with high hopes to the time when we shall again look to the dear old days when we were Juniors. This is a glimpse of our record and if the past gives any promise of the future, we, the class of 1913, can wish for no time filled with more pleasurable and honorable events than our high school year of 1912 and 1913.
