Qtlass ilaistnrp Perhaps, now that its all over, we're apt to look back upon our three years' sojourn in good old T. H. S. as somewhat of an unintelligible jumble of spasmodic eH'orts. Many of us may be wondering just what fruits our late struggle will bring forth. Possibly, even, some of us may be wrestling with a doubt. which at times over-shadows our common sense. suggesting that our time was pretty well wasted. But come, a bit more optimism! Are we thinking clearly? Emerson, long about the middle of the first term, proved conclusively that every effort is com- pensated. Surely we have surmounted many obstacles. before which others faltered, lost their stride. and failed to finish. Lo, while just at present we are scarcely able to relieve the present, managing generation of all its responsibilities. and manage this world of affairs. our horizon is immeasureably further away than it was three years ago. We've paved the way to something better and finer. WE've grown. You doubt it? Come for a moment while the clock is turned back. and we'll have a glimpse of ourselves as bupbnmutzs Just at that age when the thought of senior high school adected us like a sudden cold shower, we found ourselves at the portals of higher learning. For the first time this business of lessons took on a new aspect. To many of us. it seemed quite serious: to the more complacent. at least a new departure. Being enrolled and assigned to our classes. we were all a bit at sea,-had that sort of sinking feeling which accompanies a rapid descent and stop in an express elevator, for there was no marching in line nor parading to the auditorium by twos . It was very oddly different. VVe were permitted to go about unmolested, but on our Honor, a new word to so many of us, a new goal for all of us. By the end of the first marking period the novelty had all worn off. For some little time many of our number had been rolling in A's and B's . Yes, we led the school scholastically! The aloof and so essential Seniors totaled five complete scholars who were worthy of the name honor students. The less mighty, but nevertheless very important Juniors, managed to rate eight of their group in the first rank--And the Sophomores, oh, oh, yes, why Sophomores to be sure, why of course so we have, um-twenty-eight honor students: no not bad at all, not bad at all. So, for the rest of the year, we continued to receive about that amount of recognition. But we led scholastically until June. Not so, for under the surface was that which bubbled to the top where we aided so materially. in the Douglas House drive and play, that which more than anything else made us want so much to be no longer in the back-ground but ' - Juniors It can be called by no more fitting and appropriate name than pep. From September 1924, until June, 1925, there was no slackening, no let up. We gave all that we had and shared with the school's success. As Juniors wewere privileged to organize as a body, hold regulated meetings and take the part of genuine upper-classmen. After the first class meeting, over which Paul Hartman, Junior president of the class of 'twenty- five' presided, the following new officers took their places: Malcolm Leigh, president, Edward Fabian, vice-presidentg Harry Bradbury, secretary, and Ruth Johanson, treasurer. At a very early date. our vice-principal and ever-helpful friend, Mr. Loser, proposed during one of our first meetings. that we attempt to stage a musical comedy to raise money for the ever-present Athletic deficit. With the usual vigor and enthusiasm we pounced upon the plan. It was no time before we were under way. After several months of conscientious effort, we present- ed the musical comedy, College Days , Friday evening, February 13, at the Crescent Temple. Gus Godde and Margaret Vliet were the principals. Giving praiseworthy support were the following leading members of the cast: Mary Clary, Roger Naylor, Margaret Hannes, Crothers Walker, Edward Fabian, Alex Silverglade, Ralph Pietzman, Charles Brown, Frank Heck, and Charles Sweet. This was the first time in the history of the school that a Junior Class had ever attempted such an undertaking, Before, only Seniors were considered mature enough to launch a worth-while entertainment of suffi- cient excellence to satisfy a paying public. 9
