JUNIOR CLASS NOTES HE Class of 1917 bids well to be the banner class of the High School, both financially and in its numbers. At the Junior Party the largest sum yet earned at a High School dance was realized, thanks to the vigor and resourcefulness of the presi- dent and his committee. At meetings held to arouse athletics, everyone has pulled with the president and there seems to be no discord in the class. JOHN ANDERSON ' 17, Secretary. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES |N Wednesday, December 8, the Pin Committee submitted three pins from which the class might choose. Since many liked none of them, it was moved that the committee submit another set. After a doubtful vote on the question the discus- sion became so heated that Mr. Howe found it best to adjourn the meeting. At another meeting, two days later, the question was again taken up. It was voted thnt the committee submit three more pins. Another pin committee, consisting of Lu- cius Turner, Albert Crabiel, Hildegarde Hendrickson, Everett Wilkins and Sylvia Vint was chosen by the class. This committee has since obtained pins, from which the class chose a very neat pin in the class colors. The pins have been delivered to the class members and have been paid for. Soon after an Athletic Association meet- ing the president called a meeting for the purpose of obtaining members for that as- sociation. John Kalaher, Edward McMann, Caswell Huestis and Raymond Drugan pointed out the advantages of membership, the association ' s need of funds, and the fact that we might help by our membership fees. Many expressed a wish to join. A com- mittee appointed by the president, consist- ing of Edward McMann, Joseph Brehaut, Caswell Heustis, Isa Jacobs and Tito Sal- vati has been very successful in obtaining members. L. C. LEWIS ' 18, Secretary.

THE FRESHMAN ORGANIZATION There are rumors going through the town Of the Freshman Organization, There are many people running it down Which leads to our provocation. If the upper class think it a joke. And the teachers declare it a whim. We ' ll soon show them that we ' re busy folk And we count on our President, Jim. They may wonder why nothing is started. But to labor we ' ve only begun, Though from others we ' re for a time parted. Just the same we ' ll have jolly fun. REMINGTON AWARDS The following pupils have received pennants : Everett Whitney Myrtle Webber Catherine Parsons Pearl Witham Roland Oliver Ruth Thresher Shei-man MacKenzie Hazel Kelly George Lane Florence McMahan Nora Curran Elsie Grant Bart Clines Ida Walsh Emily Huestis Edith Whittle and Catherine Parsons have received Card Cases Edith Packard has received a Certificate OUR GLEE CLUB We have a thrivi ng Glee Club Of girls at Wakefield High, And every face looks happy As singing day draws nigh. Mr. Jones (he ' s our conductor) Stands ready, stick in hand. While Marjorie plays the piano All sing at his command. Mr. Howe, our faithful principal. Steals time from his busy day To drop in and hear us singing In our truly professional way. We sang at a parents ' lecture, One night in a blustering squall, And I doubt if they ever heard Such singing in that Town Hall. So, hereafter, when speaking of we ' uns, (The organization I mean). Remember we ' re only the wee ' uns Don ' t try to upset any scheme. IDA M. LOW ' 19. So every Friday afternoon We make the building ring, You really ought to take the time To come and hear us sing!
