66 QIEIJPIIS nf IBIJEIIIUIKZ l9l7 Junior Class History HEN, in l9I5, the Freshman Class of Roanoke High entered upon their High School career, the years intervening between that time and the hour when those same Freshmen should be accounted Juniors stretched out like an eternity. After looking at the Algebra, the French and German, and the other Chinese puzzles belonging to those who had reached that imposingf?D position in life, the way thither seemed notra flowery road, but a thicket of locust bushes, whose thorns seemed like the claws of some terrible monster, waiting to seize any one that attempted a passage. U A year soon passed by, however, and these Freshmen, having advanced to the grade of Sophomores, were then transferred to the High School Build- ing. They were promptly dubbed rats, and Hbuckeclu by the overbearing Juniors and Seniors. They limply resented this treatment, and believed in their hearts that they were the equals, if not the superiors fsuch is always the idea of the youthfulj of the proud aristocracy of-the schoolg but still the aris- tocracy were magnanimous, and forgave. And now the year l9l7 has come, and this same Freshman Class has arrived at the degree of Juniors-the future Class of l9l8. It is one of the largest in the history of the school. Among the members of this class are some of those claiming the highest honors in the life of the school-such men as Harry Loewenstein and Francis Huff, of football fame, and Clifton Cileaves, who distinguished himself on the track team last spring. The Class, now linked together in a strong chain of friendship, is earnestly looking forward to the time when they shall have ,achieved the station of Seniors. Realizing that this cannot be attained without unremitting effort, they are laboring on toward the goal, and they wish to their friends, the lower classes of the High School, the same success that has so far crowned their own efforts. They also wish to express, through this medium, their appreciation of the untiring labors of beloved teachers, realizing that without their efforts, the pupils would not have reached this present position. FRED NAFF, 'l8.
