WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO JUNIORS THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1921, our class entered high school with an enrollment of sixty. Being unusually wise and ambitious, we were not referred to as the green frosh. From among all the teachers, we elected Mr. Carlin as our advisor, because his happy disposition appealed to us. The first big event in our high school career proved to be the initiation. The Sophs treated us unusually well, and we appreciated their kindness. We elected our class officers as is the custom of every class. During our Frosh year several of our members took active part in athletics, music, art, and declamatory work. The following year we returned to school full of life, ready to work, but with a considerable decrease in the enrollment. As Sophomores we again elected Mr. Carlin as our class advisor. With him we initiated the frosh, just as we had been initiated the previous year. The party though very successful proved to be the last of its kind. All parties and socials were barred during the year, because the Juniors and Seniors had violated a simple ruling of the school. During the year we enjoyed a party on the shores of Lake Gogebic with our advisor as chief entertainer. Our boys and girls took a leading part in basketball; the boys won first honors at the inter-class tournament. On class day we staged a very skillful guessing game; prizes were awarded to those who were able to guess the greatest number of names correctly. Now as Juniors we feel more at ease and independent and we are accustomed to all the ideas and traditions of our school. We elected Mr. Hadley, the history teacher, as our advisor. Although new to us, he impressed us the most. The Juniors were compelled to sign a paper for the Sophs and Freshmen because we had tried to break up the solemn party some time in November. Many of our class are members of the Literary and French Clubs. Several are taking active part in glee club and orchestra work, also. We haven’t had any parties this year, but we expect to put on a successful Junior From, in the near future. As Juniors we all shall do our best to better our high school and we all expect to do our best in winning any hardships, which might be in store for us during the near future.

WAKEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ECHO SOPHOMORES THE SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY When we first entered the Wakefield High School, we were not used to the large assembly room and the high school arrangements. We were called “greenhorns” by all the other classes. We soon accustomed ourselves to our surroundings and their attitude. Later on the Sophomores gave us an initiation party. We were just enjoying ourselves, when the Juniors and Seniors broke in. They all remained so the party proceeded with the luncheon, and were then told to go home. Even though we were a bashful and timid group many of our members took an active part in athletics. In our Sophomore year we were more accustomed to the Wakefield High and were not tormented any more. It was our turn to harass the coming Freshmen, but we all were Freshmen once and we all knew how it felt, so we didn’t want to hurt their feelings. A few’ months later we gave the Freshmen a party in place of an initiation party. It w’as held at the Community Gymnasium. The Juniors and Seniors attended uninvited but they were soon put out. We had a sociable time in every respect. The Sophomores and Freshmen gave a Christmas Drama and also the Juniors and Seniors. This year is over soon and we expect all to return next year with the same enthusiasm as we displayed during the last. Our slogan is: “To Win at Work and at Play.” Syma Ahola Ethel Alrjuist Florence Beaudette Margaret Bodah Jennie Bugni Henry Carr Mary Douglas Lucinda Feigley Charlotte Fredrickson Gust.
