JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY {n the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-two, forty-two unsophisticated, though fresh girls and boys entered the Freshmen room. Everything was new to us—we had taken a new and higher step; but obviously we had taken too high a step. Everything seemed larger, harder, and unobtainable. Even the teachers looked fierce and frightful. Still through all this fright a spirit of freshness prevailed. We, I suppose, were as fresh as any who had even entered those massive doors. sn this year of ’22 and ’23 some left us, some went to other schools, others dropped out and we lost sight of them, still others took higher steps and were marrnd. Of course some new members came in and our number remained the same. «hrough the Freshmen year, as had those who had gone before us, we had our trials and tribulations, our ups and downs, our joys and sorrows. Bui toward, the end of the year we overcame our officiousness and under these burden- some Circumstances we conquered. Therefore with a leap and a bound climbed another step upward to success—a few we left behind; they were not prepared to take the step. Then came our Sophomore year and such a bunch of Soph’s we made—into everything—leading our teachers, poor dear creatures, and the Freshmen, a hard life. It was in the early part of our Sophomore year that we moved into the new building, yes, we had the honor of being the first Sophomores of the Woodrow Wilson High, not only did this occur but the children from old Basic, now east side of Waynesboro, were united with us. We gladly took them into our school, and hearts as well, and now in our Junior year no difference is shown or known. We're now a stronger body. ‘Perhaps we Juniors lack the dignity of the Seniors but we have an abundant amount of school spirit. Not only did we show this spirit on the athletic field and in the gym, but in literary stunts and the class room as well. We entertained the mighty Seniors with such a feast as has never been shown before. The gym was hardly discernible in such a profusion of paper and hearts. We go into a thing with a will, our object is to win, and now slowly but surely we are climbing to the goal ef success.

Wee ee See Ore NG LA oN CLASS POEM, 1925 There is something in being a Senior, That makes our whole heart glad; And when we come to think of it There i s something that makes us sad. We think of our graduation, Leaving school and every test— That lies upon our shoulders, To make our life its best. When we think of the friends we’ve made, And how we strolled the hall; We are not so anxious to get away, For we know that we shall miss it all. We will remember all the examinations, And how they filled the files: We'll miss the daily routine, . nd of course we'll miss the smiles, We shall never forget the lectures, That were given to others and me: We feel that without Mr. Hurley Wilson High Sch ool could never be. There is another that we must not forget, As the long years come and pass; Miss Watts so faithful and patient, The beloved leader of our class. So now we must all teel happy, As we think of the diploma so fine; What a happy feeling, when we can say— The high school diploma is mine. in all the years we have been wishing, znd now our wishes come true, Rut in all our gladness and sorrow, Fellow students we shall not forget you. Marvin W. MyYErs.
