THE JUNIOR CLASS I 1 . - . ,we '- PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT SECRETARY-TREASURER The twenty-third day of September of the twenty-second year of the Twentieth Century, is an important date in the history of the University High School. It was on this memorable date that the industrious class of '24 made their first appearance in the halls of Woodworth. Like all groups and classes of people, destined to become famous in his- tory, this class soon became organized as the Juniors of Twenty-Three and adopted the constitution and by-laws of the former Junior classes, with the resolution that the history of this class shall stand forth, as unexcelled in the past. With Gladys Leeson as President, ably assisted by Noble Austin as Vice President and Sophie Garrison as Secretary, every Junior knew that the aims of the class would be fully realized. The Junior Class had a large representation in the various school acti- vities, such as Per Gradus, Civic League, Basket-Ball and on the Honor Roll. The Junor Prom was held on May 25, and proved to be one of the biggest events of the school year. The hall was beautifully decorated in silver and purple which showed the welcome and good cheer of the Juniors. The patrons and patronesses for the occasion were Supt. and Mrs. C. C. Schmidt, Principal and Mrs. A. H. Kazda, Miss Colvin, Miss Laycock, and Mr. Nerhus. All present proclaimed the Juniors royal entertainers, and worthy of much compliment for their ability. The close of the school year brought to these Juniors the prize for which they had struggled during their three years of book warfare. They were now to become seniors, and mount their throne of supremacy. Thus they leave this class, eager to push on to their Senior year where they will again repeat and fulfill their vow of diligence and perseverance.

il CLASS OF '24 We Juniors stand in blithe array, In serried ranks, flashing and gayg Happy, we pause again to view The years before-Memories to renew. Dreaming, a meditationg Seeming, a revisitation. Scarcely we recognize these freshmen green, Shunning, fearing, terrified to be seen, Who operate rubber bands with missiles good, That struck the head with sounds of splinterin Rarin with zest! Tarin at their best! You would not know these to be the same Who now to the dignity of Sophomores cameg Tightly clutching volumes of ancient lore, They hastily speed for the classroom door. Knowledge-Earnest toil, On burns the midnight oil. But O, as Juniors what joys did there abide, How parties and dances with each other vied! We can of no greater joys partake, we know, g wood. When we from the Junior class must sadly go. Mad the social whirl! Happy they in the swirl! We look now to the Senior's cap and gown, Trusting, too, to wear the noble frown, Hoping, too, that we shall be so wise, As to their intellectual heights to rise. Commencement and Knowledgeg Then on to College! JUNIOR SUPERLATIVES Most popular boy ...... Al Vallely Most popular girl--Gladys Leeson Merriest ....... Best bluffer .....
