JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Eleven years ago, I should say, old Father Time said to Wisdom, “I am very much disappointed with you! You claim to know so much why don’t you turn out some students to exceed all those preceding.” This set old Wisdom thinking, and, scratching his old grey head, he replied, “I haven’t been filling my place lately, I’ll admit, so to please you, 1 will graduate in twelve years the best class of high school students that was ever produced.” Old Wisdom began right away with our class. He took us through the basement of “Knowledge” known as the eight grades. We were all excited one September three years ago when father Wisdom told us we would take the elevator to the first floor of high school. There was much more on this floor floor than in the basement of this large building. We stayed on this floor one whole year, examining the different scenes: basketball, football, orches¬ tra, glee clubs, and frequently lending a helping hand—for WE were needed. Our hoys responded to the call from Moulton and our girls supplied them with doughnuts. Father Wisdom led us safely to the next floor the next September to ini¬ tiate us as Sophomores. We now had much confidence in ourselves as well as Wisdom. A few of our boys entered the hall teams and succeeded. Our girls entered the glee club, and both boys and girls enrolled themselves in the orchestra. We were also represented in the High School Band and if we had not lent a helping hand to the track meet, Blume High would never have carried the silver cup home. Freshmen as well as Seniors looked up to us and breathed under their breaths, “If only we knew so much.” We are now Juniors residing on the third floor of ‘‘Knowledge” where Wisdom guided us safely, as he did so he muttered, “They have not disap¬ pointed me yet and I do not think they will for they are made of material that will stick.” This year we have worked diligently and always looked up to the next floor with high hopes of occupying it next year. Many of us are striv¬ ing with a Business Course while others are conquering Latin or French. Our boys were successful, as we always were in anything we undertook, in bas¬ ketball and football. The orchestra would not he complete without our mu¬ sicians and the operetta “Polished Pebbles” would have been a failure had not two of our girls taken the leading parts. The High School Band also is known far and wide for its talented “Junior Members.” Old Wisdom and Father Time are proud of us, for we have more than fulfilled their hopes, only a few of our class having dropped out and the rest striving on with unceasing toil. We long to reach the next floor but we will not stop with that; old Wisdom will lead us on to the land of our hopes call¬ ed “Success.” RUBY TAYLOR

1922 CLASS POEM Tell me not, in tones of anger The Junior studies are but fun ! For the ship is not at anchor Until your lessons are done. Trust no grades, however high !
