B.1ri.S. qhg Qlgmgt I El Z ll jfreshmen E 5-Iisturg unit Burnt Our January class of 1924 entered the sacred precincts of the upper tloor and became a portion of the Senior lligh School in January, 1920. Since that time we have gone through many and varying exper- iences. We were then and are now twenty strong, for although two of our members have left us, we have gained two others. One of our class- mates during the spring, decided to take a trip around the world, but he became weary of traveling and decided to come back to us. Therefore we still maintain our twenty. In social affairs and in athletics the class of 1924 has been promi- nent. In February we had a very enjoyable party noticeable to the fact that our ice-cream and cake were stolen. April nineth the combined Freshmen entertained the rest of the High School, bringing forth the cornlment from one of tl1e Seniors that what ever else might be the matter with us, we are not stingy. Our girls played a conspicuous part in basketball, a larger per- centage being out for practice than any other class i11 school, and sev- eral of them playing on the tirst team. I We have endeavored to profit by the shining example of the class ot' 1920 and by 1924 we shall no doubt have become as proficient i11 the art of being noisy as they are now. Poor l'll'0Sllllll'll B, we hear theni say, With proud and haughty scorn. 'they tell us of our verdant hue, Still we are not torlorn. 'Why should we be sick at heart? All who their l1ig'h school work have done 1Vere fI'l'Slllll01l B's, when they did start. lt' 1l0t, they never would have won. And here more consolation comes to mind Some Seniors who pity our low estate Next year in college will tind, And l'll'0Slllll01l B will be their fate. 'It 's up and down like climbing peaks, know you When we have sealed o11e mountain height, llt' we should still 'much l.2ll'tll0l' go, We must descend to start again, begin- nings must be right. I .

B. li. 5. Qlhg Qfgmgt l 9 Z llg iluninr illigh Srhnul At the beginning ot' this school year the seventh a11d eighth grades were organized into a. junior high school. The following courses were oli'ered: mathematics, history, science, English, manual training, domestic science and music. Under the ellicient leadership of the prin- cipal, Miss Meinecke, the junior high school has developed into one ot' wlncb Rupert may well be proud. At the close of the first semester an exhibit of the work done in Manual Training and Domestic Science was held. Preparations are being made for another exhibit of work from the same departments to be held May 6. The girls of the P-lA class are working on a play which is to be given on May 7. Assemblies have been held for twenty minutes each day. Two days ot' the week are devoted to assembly singing, one day to speeches and addresses given by speakers from town. Each Thursday morning a IH'0g'l't'Lllll prepared by members of the ditterent classes is given. Athletics also hold a prominent place in the junior high school this year. Uur basketball team, which consists of Clifford Mackrill, center, Wesley liittle and Elwood Dixon, guards, Kent Stone and Dar- win Burgher, forwards, and llorace Nelson and Alfred Gregory, subs, played a number ot' good fast games. ln the tournament held at Paul, Rupert came in second place losing to Burley in the final game. The members of the baseball team were Ulilford Mackrill, pitcher, Kent Stone, catcher, Eldon Barr, lst base, Elwood Dixon, 2nd base, Alfred Gregory, Jird base, Horace Nelson short stop, Darwin Burgher, Wesley Little and Glenn Stanley, lielders. Un April 28 at track meet is to be held, the competing schools are Burley, Paul, Pioneer and Rupert. Judging from the previous records made by our besketball and baseball team, we expect to carry oll' most of the honors. The first year of the junior high school has bee11 a success, and plans are being made to have an even better and more successful year in 19120-1921.
