JUNIOR GLASS
MAKES MERRY.

Nothing but High School class could
generate so much fun as was folsted
onto the 1900 people who gathered to
the High School building last evening
to witness the exercises and eccentric
gyrations Of the Junior class Of that
luminous institution.
The large assembly room was densely
packed and many had to stand In the
hall. The crowd seemed to be possessed
Of the same spirit that actuated the
members Of the class, else It quickly
succumbed to the ebullitlons Of the lat
er and was as eager for a rolllcklng
time as was the class. II was essential
~ the juniors night. They controlled
everything and had anyone attempted
TO obtrude himself 20 arrest the now
OF wit and fun, there would not nave
been enough left OF him TO have made
satisfactory subject Tor the dissecting
table. The juniors held the reins ana
there was no use trying TO stop thelr
mad career. the best way 20 do was TO
jump in with them and take the exhili-
rating ride
with blue and white buntin. and the
platform on which the class held forth
was lined with the class c0lors The
walls were covered with the little red
ard black flags, that have been 80 con-
spiclous on the football grounds.
A great applause greeted the class az
u entered. the boys looking natty In
their white trousers and black coats.
and the naive girls bedecked in sp0tless
white were beautiful TO look upon. Each
girl carried q silk red and black flag,
which they waved TO good effect. The
boys carried canes with blue and white
ribbons and as they marched In the
room the strains of FL Capltao,. ac-
companied them.
when the evenings fun was once
fairly launched the pace grew fast and
the juniors won a reputation and a rec
ord for themselves for furnishing the
richest entertainment ever held within
the walls OF the High school. They
dlshed ~ the senior class Drowned to
a turn. and the hapless pedagogues who
were subjected 20 their badinace were
literally insinerated. Persons were
laid on the dissecting table and GUAR
tered and halyed and decimated into a
thousan pltIle. fragments and O keen
search light thrown onto every bald
spot. The most conspicuous objects OF
this pleasant raillery were the mem-
bers OF the senior class. and II they
can score against their younger broth
ers and sisters tonight they VIII have
done we'll
Good feelings flowed bounteously last
evening. and there was perhaps nothing
said that would leave sting. but at
times that point was approached with
dangerous nearness.
The program was opened with the
singing OF "Oh, Listen 10 the Band" led
by Prof. W a. Wetzell; IT was a lively
affair and was received with applause
The president OF the class. Lynvllle
Ritter then established a record as a
humorist In a speech OF welcome. He
paid some attention 90 the graduates
who got the fun benefit OF his wttlest
shots. and his absurdly egotistical re-
marks about his own class elected
rounds Of laughter and applause. The
sony. Were the Juniors" was one Of
the hits Of the evening, sung TO the tune
Of "On the Road 10 Mandalay" Il was
succeeded by "a Tribute 20 the Class
by Miss Ira Nichols a really fine ef-
fort
Frank Edding6elds burlesque on
Marc Anthonys grafton, was one OF the
most amusing features OF the evening"
and evoked cheers and laughter
After the singing OF q rag-time song,
then came the star attraction Of the
evening. II was an original operetta
teeming with wit and cltverness and
was entitled Just as the Paper Went
down" The cast was as follows:
