Some Junior Egotism
AS the sun of the school year OF
1921-1922 Is rapidly setting to the
land of future for our worthy Senior
class, and to vacation, and later re-
turn for the rest of us, we often
wonder what is in the store of fu-
turity that will affect each one OF
us. To the Seniors it will mean
success or failure in life, but for the
Juniors it will mean that we are to
carry on and uphold the high
standard of M. e M. The Juniors
are proud to be the successors Of the
present Senior class, but we believe
that by keeping our banner high we
shall make still better record.
You, the people. who so royalty
lsupport the high school may, and
have right to ask upon what grounds
the above assertion is made. They
are these: That the Juniors have
taken the class championship in
basket ball; 1t has the honor of out
putting the Seniors in the tug-of-
war last fall; it won the contest in
the sale of lyceum course tickets
last fall; it has the largest number
OF men on various varsity teams of
any class; and last but not least 1t
has the largest number of "honor
lstudents," or those who receive an
average of "E" in four or more
studies. They are: Max Ross, Leora
Ludwig, Margaret Brooks and Hugh
Donahue. It also has several of the
leaders Of M. & M and with the
new members next year we can sure
lily raise the standard of M. & NJ.
Perhaps you would like to know a
little of the history Of the class this
Iyear. Last September our class
was organized as follows: Colors,
torange and black; faculty adviser,
Mr.. Bishop; president, Max Ross;
|vice-president, Margaret Brooks;
Isec'y, Martha Sherman; treas, Geo.
Shinn. We have not had but two
Iclasses united. We have had our
troubles, but as noted man once
said, 1T is by being knocked down
that we learn to stand upon our
|feet.-J.H.B.

A Poem
All night he trod the dusty bricks,
By day he slept in school,
And filled the gaps of time between.
By shootin' Kelly pool.
And when the old exams came
round,
AS oft they've come before,
He wondered why he didn't pass,
And grOwled forever more.

college paper, it will be something
worth while.
