 THE R AI II B O ID Junior Class History the JUNIORS of 1923, began our career as FRESHMEN in W1021. In that year, forty-two students began to ascend the bill which leads to the goal of wisdom, the realization of the first step coming in ’24. During the year several of our mem- bers left us, notably the two who promised to “love, honor and cherish.” At the end of the Freshman course of study tWswfWss» © we became what we had longed one whole year to be— SOPHOMORES. In ’22, thirty of us returned to school with happy hearts, for ah! how “wise” we thought we were. To our great disappointment we soon found we were only “wise fools” and still had much to learn. So hostili- ties were promptly commenced. But, alas! we found several of our old enemies such as Latin and Algebra much more powerful and much more difficult to outwit, while they also had several equally strong allies. Finally we reached the highest goal then in view. WE were JUNIORS. When we returned to school this year, we learned that six of our num- ber had “passed us by” and become Seniors. We regretted their loss but rejoiced with them in their scholarly attainement. Notwithstanding this loss, there are thirty-two in the Junior ranks. And now that we arc JUNIORS, we find that the end is not yet and that some day in the future we are expected to be SENIORS. It is not very pleasant to think of leaving this dear year behind us for it has been a happy one and we have accomplished much. We Juniors can justly be proud of our class for during our three years of high school life, we have entered whole heartedly into the spirit of our school’s work. We have helped to make for our school one of the cleanest athletic records in the state. We have assisted it in forging to the front in scholarship. And we have had our share in making it a formidable opponent in all competi- tive events. We have done what we could in the past, and, as everybody knows Juniors are “game,” we are ready and willing to do what is expected of us as Seniors. Oh! laurels bide the Junior class. Where ’cer they loose their sails! This class is constant right on time. This class will never fail. The rest may sink, but the Junior class Will stay in the narrow way. And reach the goal that is the right. And carry every day. —FLOY HALL.

 THE R AI n 5 O ID SOPHOMORE CLASS We are the Sophomores of 192.3 Oh, but that is a grand thing to be. With our Caesar for one and our English for two. We thought there was nothing we couldn’t do. But as we grew older we had to learn As Freshmen we thought we were worldly wise And that we were the Wynne High prize. But, we find now, as we older grow. That there is quite a lot that we don’t know. —MARGARET BEAMON. MOTTO Not on the heights, hut climbing COLORS Pink and Rose OFFICERS ESSIE MAE HALK ............................ HORACE WILSON ...
