JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY When the class of l9l4 entered the Wubur High School three years ago, it was with the desire to excel in class work, athletics and school spirit. This ambi- tion has never been lost sight of. Sixteen girls and sixteen boys constituted the largest Freshman class in the history of the school. The class immediately organized, choosing the unusual but charming colors, of deep violet and lavender. The largest and most costly pennant of the High School was the next addition. Altho many class parties were given thruout the year, the most memorable event was the basket-ball victory over the Sophomores. During the Sophomore year, the class had fewer parties and did not take as active a part in inter-class affairs. Several members entered the declamatory contest, and we were very proud, indeed, when one of our members carried off the first honors. During this second year we also leamed that study meant Work. We were likewise successful in debating. Moreover, all of our girls were in the Freshman- Sophomore play given during the middle of the year. All did exceptionally well. By the third year our ranks had been thinned so that the class numbered only eighteen. Parties were fewer than ever. Our worlc was heavier and required more time and study than during the two previous years. Again, a member of this class won the declamatory laurels. On Saturday evening, April the twenty-sixth, the juniors entertained the Seniors and High School faculty at the school house. Lunch was served in the Domestic Science room during theevening. All the rooms used were decorated with the two class colors. So ends the history of the class of l9l4. Great things are being planned for the Senior year, and if the class has failed, so far, in doing its share in the social life of the High School, it will more than make up for this during the coming year.

time ascended the steps of Wilbur high. We entered with a determination to do things. From the start we learned that high school meant study. Our efforts were crowned with success. Only a few dropped out and the rest all passed their grade successfully. Socially we also made a hit. Our class parties will always be remem- bered. Our girls in addition took a prominent part in the annual Freshman- Sophomore play. At the beginning of the second year, there were eighteen enrolled in the class, and they still answer present to the roll call. This year has been a most event- ful one. The class has fumished excellent material for the basket ball team. ln tennis we lead all other classes. In the L. C. S. A. A. track meet we shall also be represented by at least two members. ln dramatics we have done more than our part, A Sophomore played the leading role in the musical production Cinder- ella. Several members also had leading parts in the annual commencement play, The Fifteenth of january. We have, moreover, led during the year in social activities. Ours were the first, the last, and the best parties. ln school spirit we have been leaders.
