IlISTOKY OF THE JUNIOR CUASS
JUNIOR IFS
THIRD YEAR HONOR RODE
Allies Peacock, ’23
On September 19, 1921, the junior
Class of ’2 2 met for the first time.
There were forty-four on roll, twenty
in the Latin Section and twenty-four
in the Science Section. About a
month after we received a new mem
ber into our midst, Audrey Misen-
heimer, who came from Great Falls,
S. C. We were very much handicapped,
all being in one small room in the
Development building, with two
teachers trying to teach different
studies at the same time. About a
week later the Latin Section elected
Charles Davis, president, Virginia
McCarn, vice-president and Percy
Leonard, secretary and treasurer. The
Science Section elected Early Ever
hart, president, Ray Zimmerman, vice-
president and Lena Young, secretary
and treasurer. Work progressed well
in spite of freciuent Interruptions.
After two months in these cramped
quarters, we moved into our old build
ing and were given separate rooms
and different room-teachers. We be
gan work in dead earnest the next
day and continued uninterrupted, ex
cept for the Thanksgiving and Chi'ist-
mas holidays. When we returned after
Chiistmas we had another new mem
ber, Carey Shepherd, small in size but
not in mind.
To athletics our Junior Class con
tributed the following: Gwen Dick
erson, center, and Ella Raper, for
ward, on the Girl’s basket-ball team;
Herman Leonard, half-back, Cortez
Anderson, end, and Moton Leonard,
sub-tackle on the foot-ball team; and
in baseball, Joe Walser, assistant
manager and “Sister” Zimmerman,
short-stop.
On the debating team three out of
four were Juniors, who brought L. H.
S. to the top again. Lois Hackney,
Eugenia Webster and Troy Strange
went to Chapel Hill and after a splen-

WHERE I‘D RATHER BE.
Latin is a dead language—
All the people died who spoke it;
All the people died who wrote it;
All the people died who learned it;
Blessed death—they surely earned it.

did showing, were eliminated in the
finals.
On Saturday, the president of the
Latin Section, Charles Davis, was
taken ill and sent ro the hospital,
bur class is very unfortunate to lose
such a president but this section has
an able oflicer, A^irginia McCarn, who
will serve, we are sure to the best of
her ability.
This closes our record up to the
present time. AV’e hate, so far, the
reputation for being an ideal class
in the High School. It is hard for us
to master some of our tasks but “when
a task is once begun never leave it
till it’s done.” So we will master
them, for we must set an exam])le
for the class of ’24, our followers, for
you see we are the .Seniors of ’23.
Protus Kooiitz, ’23
AA^hen I am in the schoolroom,
I think I’d rather be
Back with my daddy on the farm,
Linder the apple tree.
On Saturday when I get there,
He makes me work till dark
With the hammer, axe or saw,
And I tell you boys, it’s no lark.
I don’t mind plowing Maud,
Not very much old Nell.
But when it comes to Bob
I wish I was in oh well!
Then if I were back in school,
I think I’d be content
To study my lessons well
And even pay the room rent.
So you see it’s where we’re not.
That we think we’d like to be.
AVhy can’t we all play Polly Anna
And like what we have, you see ?

thinks of the Lexhipep:
“This paper is a very young one,
in fact, I received the second and third
editions; nevertheless, it is a good pa-
lier It seems to have a very lively
advertising manager. This paper
hails from North Carolina.”
