PAGE FIFTEEN to their party on George Washington’s Rirthday, and all enjoyed it immensely. We decided not to wear green on St. Patricks Day for ours had not all worn off yet. In the Spring, we proudly showed our small but budding strength in athletics. Exams again; we couldn't see how they got here so quick, but they came just the same. After school was out, we had a delightful Freshman-Sophomore picnic. When we came back as Sophomores next season, we possessed more self assurance, and all the former shyness was gone, Hut did I say ALL? Hardly; there was one boy (but maybe 1 shouldn't have given him away that much) who was not quite cured. And, oh, we pitied him so! He just couldn't help swallowing a little hard when Teacher spoke to him. Poor lad, he is not quite over it yet! At Hallowe’en we celebrated tin night of the ghost and goblins with a Hallowe’en party. Examinations again, but what cared we? You see we are developing a most desirable disposition. Though frightened a few times by tin invasions of mice we enjoyed ourselves immensely with the horses, cows and centipedes in tin once agriculture room. We worked hard on our literary programs and did our best to make them a success. In the spring at the field meet each one showed a fighting spirit and many of our classes won first place. Those delicious marshmallow toasts! Hut what if the marshmallows did sometimes scorch and our lingers and faces acquired an unusual redness, just didn't they taste good? At the end of school we all engaged in another Fresh men-Sophomore picnic. The rain tried to scare us away, but with the help of rugs, raincoats and immediate self canning we served our lunch after the down pour. And we had a wonderful time for all the rain. Never give up, that’s us all over. Here we are again as Juniors. You simply can’t keep 11s down as we are very progressive. Did I say progressive? Well I say yes. Always something new is characteristic of us. So Miss Eiehmeyer suggested producing an Annual. Well, I must admit it sort of took our breaths away at first. Hut Miss Eichme.ver encouraged us and we elected our officers. At the beginning of the year the two literary clubs were organized and we promptly responded to the occasions and did our share of cheering and working for our respective clubs. When the foot ball team was organized and everybody saw the need of a football song, Mildred Hole composed one that gave our boys new courage. And that new High School Song! Somebody said we ought to have a new song if we are going to get a new school. ll Ralph Alexander wrote the much longed for new high school song but we just can't help remember that we haven’t noticed our new school yet. In January we organized our classes and elected Ralph Alexander as 0111 1 resilient. In the early part of April we had a class meeting and discussed the Junior Senior Reception. Our President chose a refreshment and program committee and we are all trying to make the reception a sue cess. Through all our High School years we have been doing our best to keep »1 tile spirit of our school: And we have tried to meet the ] etty bazaids of the da with a laugh. It s the kind of a character we are trv-ing to develop. We are going to pretend that all life is just a game which e must pla as skillfully and fairly as we can. If we lose, we aiv going to shrug our shoulders and try again. Whilmn Grilliot, ’23.
