Our career has been an active one too active at tinies, perhaps, to ineet with the unqualified approval of our esteemed instructors. lint that we have been developing good material is seen from the fact that the representative froni the high school to the district declain- atory contest and two-thirds of the reliresentatives to the spelling contest eanie from the Junior Class this year and the honor of conducting the first successful entertainment ever given by a high school class at the Auditorium belongs to us. A When first we took our seats within the sacred walls of the lfreslnnan rooin withtheglowingeyes of Miss Reynolds fixed upon us, we looked upon the four coining years with sonie niisgivings mixed with the keenest of pleas- ure. Occasionally the teniptation to turn back caine upon us but we put it aside and toiled and pursued until we were launched upon our Sophomore year. Then the eventful part of our history began. Everybody will cheerfully acknowledge that the Soph- olnores of last year were the best students of the whole school. If you think that in the history of the Y, H. Sf, there Was ever a brighter or harder working set of pupils than Prof. Atl-:inson's last year's Caesar class, just gently put the question before l1i1n. Between the periods of hard study our cares 'were dispelled that year by several niost enjoyable class parties. Une that the class will always keep in nieinory was held at Martin's where some inis- ereants who had profited nothing from the teachings of our school wheeled away a tive gallon keg of ice cream from under the very noses of ttlirewyw Brown and Hljatw llutterlield. Whether the boys were asleep or hypnotized is a problein that will never be solved. llndisniayed by this disaster, the evening of lleceniber tith, 1902, was set apart for a reception to the Senior Class in Boyerls llall, a kind of event never given by a Sophomore Class before or since. The hall was very prettily decorated with sofa pillows, palnis and ferns and a delightful evening was spent in listening to a short but veryentertainingprogram and indulging in interesting games. The refreslnnents served on this occasion were pronounced by the Seniors the daintiest and best on record. VVhen September rolled around again it found our great and enthusiastic class in its place ready for work. And work there was in abundance. This has been our hardest year in school both from the standpoint of studies and in duties outside of class work by reason of our posi- tion as Juniors. Class parties were abandoned but ,sev- eral good snows helped us to break the monotony of hard work with an occasional hay rack and bob-sled ride. On these occasions we were always loyal to our instructors, giving theni an equal chance for as long a ride as their tinie perniitted. XVith Spring canie the arrangenicnts for the annual .lunior entertainment. Here again our class acted a pio- neer's part. For the first time in the history of the school this entertainment was given at the Auditorium
