Junior Class History One fine day in September, 1927, 29 timid boys and girls started on their first solo flights which were to cover four years of high school flying. The day was bright and calm. Although each of us was very frightened, each took to his own plane and started 0E in good form. Miss Birkett and Mr. Edwards were leading the formation. We got into a short skirmish with the Sophomores one dark, stormy night but we came out none the worse. Our altitude being meas- ured by high and low grades, some of us went soaring above the clouds while others of us skimmed along near the ground, barely topping trees and buildings. Of course there were some who struck altitudes in between the extremes. Most of us braved the winds and tricky air-currents of examinations, while a very few were forced to the ground. We kept the good work up. We lost the very dis- tinguished aces, George Elliott and,J im Wallace who had led us on to honor and distinction by being two of the six -oft Col. Dunscomb's picked aces for remark- able feats of bravery during the Easketball storm. Their places have more than been filled by Russel Elliott and Frank Lemons who have proven themselves even better. In September, 1928, Miss Birkett was relieved by Mr. Gibson. We were now in the second lap of our fiight. Thanks to the adept direction of these two men of experience, we pulled through the second part of our flight. In Septem- ber, 1929, Mr. Gibson landed and Miss Phillips took his place. We are now going stronger than ever. It has been rumored by radio of course, that we are to come over a stretch of very rough country full of exceed- ingly tricky winds and currents. This region is entitled, The Junior Class Play. The strip over which we intend to pass successfully is called The Little Clod-Hopper. If we succeed in passing this safely, We will be very famous indeed. This feat will also make us prepared for the apparently smooth country with quiet winds. This country is called The Junior-Senior Banquet. The land is full of bogs and safe landing is impossible. The winds are very tricky and threatening. To fail here is sure disgrace, but if we are able to pass these hazards without mishap, we shall be prepared for the lurking dangers of Semes- ter Exams. We will also be ready for the fourth and final leg of our flight-so far successful. 1 -MARY ANNA BELLE GARVIN, '31. Nineteen

They had a great deal of trouble at first in finding their right classrooms, but they soon got straightened out and began the setting of sails in algebra, English, physiography, and Latin. The Sophomores gave the Freshmen a real initiation. The poor little green Freshies naturally thought the Sophomores treated them roughly and harshly. Very few of the Freshmen dropped out and near the end of the year there were about sixty Freshmen sailing along the banks of the first port. At the end of the year they had reached the first landing and most of them were glad to get a rest, from sea, of three months. September 7, 1929, about sixty Sophomores set sail for second port, Juniors. They didn 't have so mueh trouble finding their proper places this time and were Twenty
