.fall 5!.UE,JAY HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS In the fall of nineteen-hundred-twenty-five, thirty-eight poor little Freshmen Pilgrims started from the S. H. S. Inn on a four-year journey. At the end of this pilgrimage, it seemed that they were to get a slip of paper signed by an Honorable Principal and an Honorable Superintendent, which would release them from such manual labor as pounding typewriter keys or playing with geometrical A B C blocks. This was explained to them at the Inn by high and mighty guides, called Seniors, Juniors, and So-phomores. It was also explained that the journey would be much longer if all rules, made by these wonderful guides and certain other high men seen on misty heights, were not obeyed. So the little Pilgrims plodded wearily on and 'on through algebraic equations and Eng- lish themes. Finally they became more courageous and elected these guides from their own people: Marjorie Burke, presidentg Velma Brougher, vice-president: Lois Kennedy, sec- retaryg and David Hooverscn, treasurer. After this, their courage grew and grew, until they became so bold as to mingle with the guides directly in front of them ith0Se called Ssphomoresh and have a party. This their first year of traveling was passed with rough roads at the end of every six weeks, a blizzard at the end of the first semester, and floods fof tears? at the end of the second semester. Oh! What a relief to be a Suphomo-reg How important it made one feel to be able to stand on the second step and look pityingly on those just starting their perilous journey! The second year of their journey was a voyage. This was a happy year for nearly all the pilgrims, for although the sea was sometimes rough it was not so tiring as walking and they had time to watch some of their lads and lassies become heros and heroines of the football field and basketball court. They quite forgot their discouragement and became in- interested in gazing with awe at their guides in the distance who prepared a carnival Junior- Senior reception. Right then the Pilgrims decided that the voyage should hold no social affairs for them until they had saved some money for their coming reception. In May, nineteen-hundred-twenty-seven, their ship came into port and they passed the second year milestone of their journey. Their crew fo-r that voyage were Carrie West, presidentg Wilbur Masheter, vice-president: Velma Brougher, secretaryg and Milton Lichty, treasurer. Now they are Juniors. Even though they are riding along quite smoothly in New Fords, prosperity has not struck them and they are working hard to earn money enough to entertain their Royal Highnesses, the Seniors. The drivers cf the Fords are Wilbur Masheter, presidentg Martha Fisher, vice-president, Mary Lanning, secretaryg and Mar- jorie Burke, treasurer. One hardship has befallen the Pilgrims this year. They have been divided into 'two groups, one commanded by Miss Hause and the other by Mr. Barber. These two groups met December 14, at the Barber Inn and Miss Hause's Pilgrims were entertained by Mr. Barbers Pilgrims. December 16, everyone stopped and rested while Miss Hause's Pil- grims gave a Christmas program. There are many plans for a play, a carnival, and the Junior-Senior reception. All the Pilgrims are striving hard so that they will be rulers of the kingdom on the last year of their journey and all have quite forgotten their former fear of high and mighty guides. -M. M. F.
