JUNIOR CLASS Thus the first week in September in the year of 1909 that the green looking class of 1913 became members of Sandwich High. Thev were nearly fifty strong and so strong at least that the Sophomores dared not haze our hearty lads. The class of 1913 furnished many men for the Football Team of 1909; one of its men being captain and from then on have thev furnished the greatest percent, of the men that defend the dear old colors of orange and black. The little freshies. like all Freshies, were a very studious class but to their sorrow they forgot that if one got below an average of 90 he was in the exams and so many a little Freshie the final evam did take. The only social event of the year was the class picnic at Hennis’ ('amp on June 11th. Most of the class rode down in a bus and a merrv time they had. At the camp the day was spent in sitting around getting sunburned eating. and chasing two greedy Freshies who stole two quarts of ice cream. The class picnic closed the Freshman year and now every member of the class of 1913 is a full fledged Sophomore with a head on him or her that won t fit a number eight hat. ..... , .. r u The class of 1913 started the year of 1910-11 full of mischief. Ihey started right in and those poor Freshmen boys they did paint all over with red ink. At the Freshman party did go many boys with ink stains on his once of 1913 were defeated in debate by the rowdy little FYeshmen but our class never gave up and at a reception to the next year’s Freshies we defeated the little Freshies so bad that well they havn’t said a word about debate to us since. The Sophomore year for the class of 1913 again closed with a picnic at Hennis’ Camp where they had such a good time that they nearly forgot about getting home in time to see the commencement exercises of their friends through tick and tin the class of 1912. „ . , .... a,. . . The class of 1913 opened their third vear in High School very calm and cooled down. 1 hey again had one of their members captain of the Football Team. At the Senior Junior Carnival the Seniors a little fresh did get and hid our brand new flag of red and white in some secret place. But w’e kept quiet and not a word did we say until again our flag we had in our safe keeping. But the Seniors started the thing and so it was up to our brave warriors to finish it and out we set to do it and we did it as you soon shall see. It was on a cool night in November that our braves did assemble. Thev were armed with keys, ladders, ropes and the dear old flag of reel and white. All was dark as this little band to'the school house did go and soon upon the flag-pole they did put the glorious flag of red and white and there it staid to the dismay of every Senior until the class of 1912 had all seen the flag of 1JU wave over the roof of the studious and the home of much learning. Then to add more to the glory a few nights later through the help of a Freshman friend the homely flag of 1912 we did get and now its gone to nobody knows where and never will. During the winter months the class kept up its good record as of old and as the spring came on also came the time for the annual Senior-Junior debate. At the preliminaries three bright maidens were chosen to defend the glorv of the class of 1913 against these Seniors who our goat thev would like to get. Thus on the night of Mav 10th, a glorious night, this debate came off and after it was over the once proud and boasting Senior wished that it had never come for when the judges their decision they did read it was told to all that the class of 1913 had won the grand affair thanks to our women speakers. And so our Junior Year did close the most glorious year so far for the Class of 1913.
