1996 rm' THE JAVELIN 1920 Class History In September, A. D. 1916, there entered the Freshman class of the Y. H. S. a class of forty-live members. On account of the muscular power of this collection or rubes, etc., the upper classmen let them se- verely alone. They were as intelligent as the average Freshmen, but most of their 'muscular members succeeded after various struggles with Caesar's First Campaign and Algebra I. Thirty members entered the Sophomore class, where they were re- inforced 'by Gertrude Frerking from Geary and Otto Simms, who was unable to hold his own in the mad rush of the class for knowledge. This year the boys found a place in -basket ball and football with Billie Howell as coach. As it was now the style to learn French, they all learned i?l to speak French. The next year there entered the Junior class a mob that believed in doing things. There were now twenty-two members of our class, Anna Salllnger of Piedmont having joined us. During this year much was accomplished in the way of Geom. 1, English, and M. St M. History. During the summer of 1919 five of the girls decided that the Y. H. S. was too tame for them, and dropped out, some to attend school at other places, some to seek employment. At the beginning of our Senior year we counted noses, and found only sixteen members. In about one month our number was increased by the entrance of Private William H. Hancock, who had 'but recently returned from France. Boys and girls both took an active part in athletics, especially basket ball. During the latter part of our Senior year we gave a class play, My Irish Rose, and published the third edition of The Javelin, the Y. H. S. annual. Jay W. Stout, Class Historian. ..21..

1 MA I -WWT H E JAVELIN 1-Q20 1920 There entered the Y. 'H. S. In the year nineteen sixteen, A -bunch of forty-five Nicest little Freshies green. They were green but growing And learned the rules real quickg And at the end of that year Scarcely a Freshie did stick. They entered right merrily Upon their Sophie year, And because of their awful pranks Caused the teachers many a tear. It was at Christmas time That this merry crew Took to shooting paper wads, For want of something to do. They watched May approach With tremblings and with fear, And prayed for moments lost: Examinations were drawing near. All through the long summer time They worked and waited patientlyg At last, on September morn They raced for school gayly. Class Poem Those Juniors were a. terror-- They worried Prof. and allg Then in Emenhiser's glare The Juniors took a fall. They worried on to mid-term, And there they seemed to stick Till Prof. met them mid-way With sundry applications quick. Time sped on, so did they- By labors long and hardg Step by step they labored on, And success was their reward. It came to passg they were Seniors now, Ever struggling on. Things began to look bright now- Their day began to dawn. The class was gay and jolly, They believed in work and playg They struggled with might and main The whole livelong day. They met exams with a smile And with a little spunk, And after writing from nine to Said: I don't care if I flunkf' three The world rolls on, so do we, As all things must do. We try to be of a little good And to our standards be true. Jay Stout, Class Poet. -20--
