JUNIOR CLASS NOTES During the three years just past we, the Junior class of nineteen hundred twenty-three, have been striving “day by day, in every way,” to master our lessons better and better. As for our success in doing this—well, we’ll leave that for you to decide after having read our history. We began our career in the Warrensburg High School as a class of seven freshmen. During the first few sessions of our Latin class we were much impressed and bewildered as Carl G. Bickel unfolded to us the mysteries of porta and laudo. However, with the exception of the usual trials and blunders of freshmen we passed through this year quite uneventfully. On the following fall we again appeared at this place of learning, this time with our number increased to eleven. We organized our class with Ruth Senour as president. While here as Sophomores we became more active. During the athletic season six members of our class played on some school athletic team. Ten of us took part in the giving of the school play. The party which we, assisted by the freshman class of that year, gave for the Juniors and Seniors was pronounced a great success. At last the year rolled around, and vacation days came. But hardly had vacation fairly begun when we were again called before the registration desk. Much to our satisfaction we were registered there as JUNIORS. This year our class lost three of its members: Florence Scott left to attend Decatur High School, Loran Watkins became a victim of matrimony, and Lynn Baum was forced to quit because of ill health. We reorganized our class, choosing as our president Charles Winegarner, and for class colors red and black. No sooner was this done than the class color rush began. Of course the Juniors won out, but only after some clever opposition by the freshmen, who flew the green and white as their class colors; and after all was said and done the red and black floated a scant eighteen inches above the green and white tminus the white). In connection with the Mulligan stew given by the Parent-Teachers Association we gave a negro comedy, with a few local hits thrown in. This comedy was enjoyed by a crowded house. We owe its success both in staging and in finance to the aid of the Senior class, and to one sophomore, Katharine Albert. Later in the year we entertained an equal number of guests chosen from the school in the home of Harry Baum. Near the close of the school year we plan to give a Junior-Senior banquet, and although at this time no definite plans have been made a good time is anticipated. Three of our boys plaved on the baseball team this year, three on the basketball team, and three are expected to take part in the track meet to be held in Niantic on May 7th,—Lucky three!
