Scattered far and wide we were destined to come to- gether for the last half of our High School career. wakaagoegekawawm In September. 1926. the anticipation and expectancy of being a Freshman had made our hearts beat a little faster, but soon the pangs and trials of mastering Latin, solving Algebra. and writing original stories. changed our minds completely and we understood that we were. in school to work and not to play, The Sophomore Year or Sulfermore as it is namedeand rightly soewas filled with still more agonies. Geometry, Caesar, Ancient History! What could be worse! However, we plodded on and came to the third milestone along our journeyethe Junior Year. This year brought with it many changes: change of school, as We were to attend the Regina High: change of environment: change of companions. or rather an increase in the number: change of books, of teachers. of almost everything connected with school life. As we were Juniors, a change in attitude on the part of the other students was shown us. but this was a happy change. No longer were we to be snubbed by upper classmen, but we were now united to help manage the school activities. Our work also took on a new aspect and we found ourselves struggling with studies chosen in accordance with our future ambitions Some chose the Classical, Professional or Vocational courses and labored over seientiflc problems while others selected the Business World as the object of their endeavors. Each had its joys and sorrows, but we saw Successi' shining more Clearly in the distance than ever before. Special activities in which we took part were the Dedication of the $chool. the pre-Lenten card party and the Easter dance, all given for the benefit of the school. .. Sh our fourth high school year will be open to us and we hope it Will '.e was successful as the three years we have already completed. A JUNIOR GDQWBW t. e 25 e

We might as well make the best of it though and start out, because we are bound to have troubles in this world and you know he lwho persevereth to the end shall be savedI so perhaps we shall be Seniors some day. Such were the expressions heard in various places in Cincinnati from some of the members of the Sophomore class of 1929 when they began their tour through high school. Other expressions, in direct contrast to these above. from other members. showed that a few felt an undue amount of importance con- cerning themselves. They thought they Would be noticed and admired. but to their amazement they created no sensation whatever and only too soon they discovered that a Freshman in high school may well class herself With a certain undeclinable Latin nounenvieh-i-l. As our days of trials grew in number we became the prey for all the pranks and jokes that haughty Sophomores. inquisitive Juniors and petted Seniors could devise. We had to pass through the days of initia- tion and if any society Wishes some information on that topic we could give some splendid suggestions. Days, weeks, months. followed in quick succession and to out astonishment and pleasure, the Hbug- bear called Mid-Yeat Examinations approached and passed us causing little or no injury. Then we began to think that high school wasn,t so bad after all. As the end of the school year approached, tumors were floated that the next year we would be assembled in new haunts, for the Regina High School would be ready for occupancy. Pleasant anticipations were mixed with keen regrets that the scenes of our Freshman year were to be changed.

We have persevered and better, truer Sophies cannot be found. In all the activities We have done our share, and willing has been attached to our name. This year has been a happy one and we intend to make the second half of our high school life as satisfactory and successful as the first, for we feel that the future welfare of Regina High depends upon the efforts of the class of ,31.
