4, . -... 1... Happy is that people I That has no history. Notwithstanding this quotation, we are jolly juniors and are happy in another way, 'for it is seldom that such a class of intelligent, brainy pupils comes together as is now assembled in the present Junior class. When before were such percents seen as are accredited to our class ? As for Greek and Cicero, no one can stick them on any declension or construction. , The German class has proved very interesting, and many are the pupils who are moved by the haunting spirit of Reinhardt Many pupils are doing extra work in order to graduate with us. Some knowledge of our popularity may be found by reading the many items about the class that are published in the Owl. If you see any High School boys or girls along the streets eating peanuts, you may may make up your mind that they are Juniors. The girls in the class have a base ball club, it makes great sport for them, but the boys swear that they can beat them. Although the boys are in the minority, yet these same boys, when they come together for base ball or foot ball, allow noth- ing to stand in their way. They lead the school in all sorts of athletic sports g they arc invinciblefx' fl' The authors must. have had temporary aberration of tho brain, prolvllllb' Vwsod by writing such a voluminous account of their achievements. 00 .s s

Our class organipfed this year, the nrst important event after the adoption of a constitution was to select class colors, and we tlatter ourselves that a more har- monious effect could not have been produced than that of white, gold and brown. The school reception being held soon after, the class appeared in full force wearing their colors, which was a feature of the evening. The winter coming on sleigh rides were in order, and Miss Frisbie invited the class and some ofthe teach- ers to her home, a short way out of the city. Bobs were obtained and the meeting was one of the pleasantest of the class history. The loads were mistaken for boxes of sardines, the boys like sardines. A short time later, Dickerman invited the class to meet at his home, near New Milford. Sad to relate, that night the repu- tation of the class for gallantry met a fall, the boys piled into the bob, and let the girls shift for themselves. Wfe would suppress these harrowing details but every one knows them, so it would be useless. The future beams out brightly for '93, with the prospect of the laborious part ofiour work being finished this year. S, S, I. P. 23
