1920 THIIJAVELIN 1920 Freshman Class Poem Give us but health and peace of mind, And we will make the rocky climbg Our path seems hard and rough and bare, But just the same we do not care. We have climbed this far, so we are going on, To complete the work that others scorng Some folks succeed, yet others fail, But the Freshman Class will keep the trail. When we look ahead and see the top, We never think of the word Stop g But work much harder and then say, Good honest work is the only way. We work each day from morn 'till night, And still our burdens are not light: The work seems harder day by day, Yet the Little Freshies' are still at bay. We will not rest until we have won The highest places 'beneath the sung We will not pause nor hesitate, But keep right on coping with fate. Gertrude Kintz, Class Poet. It does not take much strength to do things, but it 'requires great strength to decide on what is best to do.

1920 V THE JAVELIN A 1920 Freshman Class History The Freshman, though he may bc considered small in the eyes of the Senior, is of the greatest im- portance, because he is the material from which each Senior class is made. Of course we are as yet un- renowned, but as we have been requested to write a history, we give the following record of the class and its meager accomplishments: In the fall of 1919, thirty-three trembling Fresh- men sought admittance to the Y. H. S., twenty-one of that number having graduated from the Yukon Eighth Grade the preceding spring. The twelve who joined us in the fall were George Nitzel, James Ew- ing, Earnest Morris, John lHodson, Charley Merrit, Virgil Compton, Opal Siler, Edith Moore, Ethel O'Dell, Olga, Minnie and Helen Herman. When we received our eighth grade diplomas, we were curious and would often question our upper classmen about our future welfare in High School. We were continually warned against the difficulties that Latin and Algebra would present. Some, heeded the warning and advice to learn everything thor- oughly from the start, and we were fairly on the road to success at the close of the first year. Unfortunately, to others these two studies were thought of as enemies not to be overcome and for this and various other reasons, eight of our class dropped out. The girls have taken active part in basket ball and three or four are memibers of the G. A. G.'s. The boys have been quite successful in both basket ball and football, while several of the boys and girls are members of the Debating Society. We have worked hard and as our first yearls work is drawing to a close, our greatest desire is that in three years hence the same class may depart from Y. H- S. as hopeful as they entered.
