S. as Freshmen. They soon got into the school spirit and were well represented in ath- letics and literary work. Early i11 the year they were entertained by the Sopho- mores at a Hallowe'en party. This year soon passed. The next year we see a much smaller class. Some decided to quit, while some others got married. Again they were well represented in athletics and some held important posts on the Annual staff. On September 4, l928, only twelve juniors enrolled, but the few remaining were by no means backward. They met early in the year and selected the follow- ing officers: President .......... ....... I ames XYharton Vive-fm'sider11' ..... .... . ........... , .... oe Major Secrvtciry-freaszzrvr ............................ Kathryn Robbins llliss Carswell was chosen as their class advisor. On November 2 they pre- sented their class play, The Absent-minded Hridegroom . You can easily see that they progressed rapidly in their junior year but what they do in their Senior year remains yet to be seen. ..24-

CON TRADICTION Christy Albert's a bashful lad, Who's always good and never bad. He comes to English every day And sits so quietly. Has nothing to g 'i:'I'I-Il-Z CARDINALQL say. He always minds the teacher's rule, And never has to stay after school. Of course boys like Christy are far too few, So good, kind-hearted, and so true, But if we all were just like he Models of perfection we would be. JOSEPHINE KRUZAN ODE TO WITS To these learned sarcastic wits That try to give me all kinds of fits I now try to tell just how I'd appreciate a little row VVith anyone that has the nerve to t To belittle such a person as I. C ENGLISH CLASS English Class - VVithout which you cannot pass, In which you are as green as grass, And all but the teacher realizes, Of all the sad surprises, There's nothing to compare NVith studying hard on lessons, Then to have her give you the air. HAR A LAMENT Mr. Orr has quit, I wish he'd stay, Until I no longer sit In school all the day. The new principal, I fear, Is a married ripg And he lets hair appear Upon his upper lip. But it is no use, For he's been hired. Even if he is a ruse, He probably can't be fired.
