12 THE PEPPER POT Junior Poem There is a class in Watkins Glen High That can pass all others by; The Juniors are the bunch we mean The merriest class we’ve ever seen. Our colors are blue and silver, Combined they are bright and shining, We’ve had them since our Freshman year, To us they’ve become very dear. Our president, Kenneth Patchen by name, In basketball has won much fame. He’s ever done the best he could As he’s said himself he’s always good. Our vice president is a pretty lass, The sweetest girl of all the class, Betty, pretty, blue-eyed, jolly To tell her pranks, it would be folly. Mary Walsh is secretary, A bright eyed girl and always merry. And as treasurer we have found Louis Smith is safe and sound. There’s Dorothy Emmons, a true actress, Much real talent does she possess. On the girls’ team of basketball, Thelma Campbell is first of all. All of us are quick to learn, But what we get we really earn. While Carolyn and Evelyn, a witty twain Set the goal toward which we aim. So give three cheers for the Junior class And wish them well, each lad and lass. Drink long and deep for the success Of the J—U—N—I—O—B—S. —Glenn Rapalee, ’21).

THE PEPPER POT 11 have the co-operation of the class as a whole. Remember this at the time of the Senior Ball and also the Senior Play and they will both be a greater success than ever before. The bake sales have proved very profitable so far. This is a very easy way to make money for the class, one of the easiest ways we have. Let’s keep the bake sales going strong. Selling “The Pepper Pot” is another very easy way to make money. The entire profit from the paper goes to the Senior (’lass. Everyone enjoys reading the activities of the school, so that this paper is very easy to sell. We need the money, let’s get more subscriptions. We have everything in our favor, a good class, a good class teacher, the support not only of the school but also of the community. Let’s go! Let this be our slogan “More Money for the Washington Trip.” —Charles Love, ’28. Junior Remarks Howdy ! Here we are, the Juniors, as prosperous a looking class as any in the high school—if not more so. ()ur class is large and we hope to earn enough money this year to give us a good start when we arc all (yes all) Seniors. If the rest of the student body is willing to help us we shall very gladly help them, or in other words we shall go 50-50. We all realize that we must settle down for our last two years in this school so that we may all graduate together. It is no fun to watch your class in high school go out into the world leaving you behind. Don’t be a laggard. “They” say our school lacks “spirit”. Then it is up to us to be the first to start that “Spirit” moving. Come on Juniors—Let’s Go ! Elizabeth Kiermaier, ’29. Kenneth Patchen, ’29.

Why We Should Buy the Pepper Pot We all, whether from the Freshman, Sophomore Junior or Senior classes, training class or eighth grade should consider it our duty to buy the copies of the school paper. We certainly all enjoy reading', it, therefore we should purchase our own copy and not borrow that of a friend. Perhaps some of us lack school spirit and do not care for the merits which are expressed in this little paper. We should express our loyalty to our school and buy the Pepper Pot. School spirit is one of the most important features of school life and must be taken into consideration at all times and under all circumstances. Therefore if you have not already purchased your subscription, do so now! —Armida Sgrecci, ’28.
